When you install a DB2® server
product, there are many tasks that you must complete to ensure that
your server is set up correctly.
Disk and memory requirements
Ensure that an appropriate amount
of disk space is available for your DB2 environment,
and allocate memory accordingly.
Java software support for DB2 products
IBM® Software Development Kit (SDK) for Java™ 5.0.12.4 is required for Java-based
tools, and to create and run Java applications,
including stored procedures, and user-defined functions.
Installation prerequisites (Linux and UNIX)
Before installing your DB2 product
on a Linux or UNIX operating system, you must complete pre-installation
tasks. Completing these tasks prevents issues during your product
setup.
Non-root installation overview (Linux and UNIX)
Before Version 9.5,
you could install products, apply and roll back fix packs, configure
instances, add features, or uninstall products only if you had root
privileges. Now, if you are a non-root user, you can perform these
tasks on Linux and UNIX operating systems.
Installing DB2 servers using the DB2 Setup wizard (Linux and UNIX)
This task describes how to start the DB2 Setup wizard
on Linux and UNIX operating systems. The DB2
Setup wizard is used to define your installation preferences
and to install your DB2 database
product on your system.
Setting up a partitioned database environment
This topic describes how to set up a partitioned database
environment. You will use the DB2 Setup wizard
to install your instance-owning database server and to create the
response files that will in turn be used to create your participating
database servers.
Verifying your installation (Linux and UNIX)
After you install a DB2 database
product, there are some tasks that you can perform to verify that
the installation was successful.
