Installing Tivoli Directory Server

Before you install Tivoli Directory Server, be sure that you have a supported version of DB2® installed. (See IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server version 6.3 System Requirements for supported versions of DB2.) If you want to use the version of DB2 provided with Tivoli Directory Server, you must use the db2_install utility to install it. (If you do not use this utility, the DB2 license file is not added correctly.) The db2_install utility is in the /db2 directory of the Tivoli Directory Server DVD if you have one, or in the tdsV6.3/db2/ subdirectory of the directory where you untarred the DB2 tar file for Linux.

1. After you start the db2_install utility, you are prompted for a keyword. In response to this prompt, on System x® Linux (32-bit) operating system, type WSE (since DB2 V9.7 WSE is provided), and on all other platforms of Linux operating system, type ESE (since DB2 V9.7 ESE is provided).
2. After you install DB2, you can check the /tmp/db2_install_log.99999 file to verify that the installation was successful. (99999 is a random number associated with the installation.)

If you are installing the Web Administration Tool, you must install a Web application server such as the Embedded WebSphere Application Server. See Appendix H. Installing, configuring, and uninstalling Embedded WebSphere Application Server for information.
