After you install a DB2® database
product, there are some tasks that you can perform to verify that
the installation was successful.
First Steps interface
Launches the First Steps interface, which
contains links to the functions that you need to begin learning about
and using the DB2 product.
Verifying a partitioned database server installation (Linux and UNIX) Use
the db2val tool to verify the core functions of
a DB2 copy by validating installation
files, instances, database creation, connections to that database,
and the state of partitioned database environments.
Directory structure for your installed DB2 database product (Linux)
During a root installation, you can specify
where the subdirectories and files for the DB2 database product will be created. For non-root
installations, you cannot choose where DB2 products
are installed; you must use the default locations.
