Quick Beginnings for DB2 Universal Database for UNIX

Step 4. Install the DB2 Products

After you mount the CD-ROM file system, use the DB2 Installer program to install the DB2 products.

Note:

DB2 Version 5 products can co-exist on the same machine with previous versions of DB2.

If you are installing the DB2 Client Application Enabler from a remote server, it is better to use the telnet command to open a telnet session instead of using the rlogin command to connect to your remote server.

1. Log in as root.

2. Insert the DB2 CD-ROM in the drive.

3. If required, mount the CD-ROM. Refer to Step 3. Mount the CD-ROM if required.

4. Change to the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted by entering the following command:

   1. On AIX, HP-UX, or SCO UnixWare 7:

         cd /cdrom
      

   2. On Solaris:

         cd /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom
      

   where /cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM drive on AIX, HP-UX, or SCO UnixWare 7, and /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM on Solaris.

5. Enter the ./db2setup command to start the DB2 Installer program. The Install DB2 V5 screen opens.
   

   It will take some time for the DB2 Installer program to start up, as it is scanning your system for information.

   
   
   

   Note:

   Your screen will be different if you have already installed DB2 Version 5 products on your system. See Chapter 4. Installing Additional Products and Creating Additional Instances for more information.

6. From the product list on the Install DB2 V5 screen, select the products that you want to install.

   To display the required and optional components for the product you want to install, select Customize. The optional components that are most typically used are pre-selected for you. Make your selections and select OK.
   

   To refresh the current screen, press the F5 key or Ctrl+L.

   When you have finished selecting the DB2 product and its components, select OK. The Create DB2 Services window opens. To undo any selections you made, select Cancel.
   

   Go to step 9 if you do not want to create a DB2 Instance at this time.

7. At the Create DB2 Services panel, select Create a DB2 Instance to display the DB2 Instance screen.
   
   

   You can use the default values displayed at the DB2 Instance screen or change them:

   • To change the default User ID for the instance, deselect Use Default UID and enter a new value for the User ID.

   • To configure the communication protocol(s), select Properties. Only the protocols you selected from the product component lists will display on the DB2 Instance Protocol screen. For example, if you selected TCP/IP and wanted to change the protocol properties, select Properties. At the TCP/IP screen, enter a new Service Name and Port Number. To restore all system-generated values, select Default.

   • To create a sample database for the DB2 Instance, select Properties and then select Create a sample database for DB2 Instance. The sample database requires a minimum of 15 MB.

8. When you have finished entering the values for the DB2 Instance, select OK.

   You will have to enter values for the User ID, Group ID and Password for the fenced user defined Functions (UDFs) and stored procedures. The User Name for the fenced UDFs should be different from the User Name of the DB2 Instance for security reasons.
   

   Go to step 11 if you do not want to create an Administration Server at this time.

9. At the Create DB2 Services screen, select Create an Administration Server to display the Administration Server screen.

   You can use the default values on the Administration Server screen or change them:

   • To change the default User ID for the server, deselect Use default UID and enter a new value for User ID.

   • To configure the communication protocol(s), select Properties. Only the protocols you selected from the product component lists will display on the Administration Server Protocol screen. To restore all system-generated values, select Default.

10. When you have finished entering the values for the Administration Server, select OK.

11. After entering the values for the DB2 Instance and the Administration Server, select OK to display the Summary Report. The report lists the installable items as well as the location of the installation log file.

12. Use the Up or Down arrow keys to review the Summary Report. If the selections are not correct, press the F3 key to return to the previous screen. Otherwise, select Continue to start the installation.

13. When the installation is complete, use the Up or Down arrow keys to review the Status Report. Select View Log to view the installation log file. Select OK to close the Status Report screen.

14. Select Close from the DB2 Installer screen to terminate the DB2 Installer program.

After the installation is complete, the software is installed in the DB2DIR directory,

	where DB2DIR	= /usr/lpp/db2_05_00	on AIX
		= /opt/IBMdb2/V5.0	on HP-UX, SCO UnixWare 7, or Solaris

You can use the DB2 Installer program to create additional DB2 instances after you have installed DB2 on your system. To start the DB2 Installer program from the DB2 product directory, type the following command: On AIX /usr/lpp/db2_05_00/install/db2setup On HP-UX, Solaris, or SCO UnixWare 7 /opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/install/db2setup

Go to Chapter 4. Installing Additional Products and Creating Additional Instances for information on optional installation activities or proceed directly to Chapter 6. Migrating from Previous Versions and Releases.
