DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Installing DB2 Advanced Copy Services (ACS)

The files and libraries required for DB2® Advanced Copy Services (ACS) are installed only during typical and custom installations.

Before you begin

Before installing ACS, you must have the following libraries installed:

On AIX®:
  • ln -s /opt/freeware/lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0//libgcc_s.a /usr/lib/libgcc_s.a
You should also review the following topics:
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
  • ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8xxx libssl.so.0.9.8
  • ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8xxx libcrypto.so.0.9.8
  • ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8xxx libssl.so
  • ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8xxx libssl.so.0

Restrictions

DB2 ACS supports a subset of hardware and operating systems that IBM® Data Server supports. For a list of hardware and operating systems that DB2 ACS supports, consult the relevant documentation at thisdeveloperWorks link.

Procedure

  1. Install DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows using the db2_install command, a typical install, a custom install, or a custom response file installation using the ACS response file keyword.
    Important: The command db2_install is deprecated and might be removed in a future release. Use the db2setup command with a response file instead.
    Note: DB2 ACS is no longer installed automatically during compact installations, as in past releases. If you already completed a compact installation and must install DB2 ACS later, use a custom response file installation with the ACS keyword.
  2. Add a port for the DB2 ACS agent in the TCP/IP services file. For example: 
         db2acs  5400/tcp # DB2 ACS service port

What to do next

After DB2 ACS has been installed, you must activate DB2 ACS and configure DB2 ACS.
