In this task you will use the response file you created
using the DB2 Setup wizard to install database
partition servers on participating computers.
Before you begin
- You have installed a DB2® copy
on the primary computer using the DB2 Setup wizard.
- You have created a response file for installing on participating
computers and copied it onto the participating computer.
- You must have administrative authority on participating computers.
Procedure
To install additional database partition servers using
a response file:
- Log to the computer that will participate in the partitioned
database environment with the local Administrator account that you
have defined for the DB2 installation.
- Change to the directory containing the DB2 database product DVD. For example:
cd c:\db2dvd
where db2dvd represents
the name of the directory containing the DB2 database
product DVD.
- From a command prompt, enter the setup command
as follows:
setup -u responsefile_directory\response_file_name
In
the following example, the response file, Addpart.file can
be found in the c:\responsefile directory. The
command for this example, would be:
setup -u c:\reponsefile\Addpart.file
- Check the messages in the log file when the installation
finishes. You can find the log file in the My Documents\DB2LOG\ directory.
You should see output similar to the following at the end of the log
file:
=== Logging stopped: 5/9/2007 10:41:32 ===
MSI (c) (C0:A8) [10:41:32:984]: Product: DB2
Enterprise Server Edition - DB2COPY1 -- Installation
operation completed successfully.
- When you install the instance-owning database partition
server on the primary computer, the DB2 database
product reserves a port range according to the specified number of
logical database partition servers participating in partitioned database
environment. The default range is four ports. For each server that
participates in the partitioned database environment, you must manually
configure the /etc/services file for the FCM
ports. The range of the FCM ports depends on how many logical partitions
you want to use on the participating computer. A minimum of two entries
are required, DB2_instance and DB2_instance_END.
Other requirements for the FCM ports specified on participating computers
are:
- The starting port number must match the starting port number
of the primary computer.
- Subsequent ports must be sequentially numbered.
- Specified port numbers must be free.
Results
You must log onto each participating computer and repeat these
steps.
What to do next
If you want your DB2 database
product to have access to DB2 documentation
either on your local computer or on another computer on your network,
then you must install the
DB2 Information
Center. The
DB2 Information
Center contains documentation for the DB2 database system and DB2 related products.
