Before you install

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 created one, or in the tdsV6.3/db2/ directory of the directory where you untarred the DB2 tar file for Solaris.

1. After you start the db2_install utility, you are prompted for a keyword. In response to this prompt, type ESE. When you are asked if you want to install to a directory other than the /opt directory, be sure to accept the default of /opt. Tivoli Directory Server assumes that DB2 is installed in this directory.
2. You might see the message test: argument expected at the end of installation. You can ignore this message. 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 have a client from IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2, or a server from Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2, you can leave it installed. The server and the client from Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 can coexist with a client or server from one of these versions.

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