Installing database partition servers on participating computers using a response file (Linux and UNIX)

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 Db2® database product on the primary computer using the Db2 Setup wizard and have created a response file for installing on participating computers.
  • You must have root user authority on participating computers.

Procedure

To install additional database partition servers using a response file:

  1. As root, log on to a computer that will participate in the partitioned database environment.
  2. Change to the directory where you copied the contents of the Db2 database product DVD.
    For example:
    cd /db2home/db2dvd
  3. Enter the db2setup command as follows: 
    ./db2setup -r /responsefile_directory/response_file_name
    In this example, the response file, AddPartitionResponse.file, was saved to the /db2home directory. The command for this situation would be: 
    ./db2setup -r /db2home/AddPartitionResponse.file
  4. Check the messages in the log file when the installation finishes.

Results

You must log onto each participating computer and perform a response file installation.

What to do next

If you want your Db2 database product to have access to Db2 database 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 database related products.
