Creating the Administration Server

Use the dasicrt command to create an Administration Server. You must have root authority to issue this command.

The syntax of the dasicrt command is as follows:

• On AIX:

     /usr/lpp/db2_05_00/instance/dasicrt ASName
  

• On HP-UX, SCO UnixWare 7 or Solaris:

  /opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/instance/dasicrt ASName
  

where ASName is the name of the Administration Server, which is composed of a string of up to eight alphanumeric characters long. See Appendix D. Naming Rules for more information.

Note:

If you are running NIS and NIS+, you need to set up the user and group names in such a way that: The primary group of the Administration Server must be in the secondary group of all the instances. The secondary group of the Administration Server must contain the primary group of all the instances Secondary group lists will be modified automatically only if NIS and NIS+ is not running on your system.

Because a user ID can only own one instance, you must have a separate user ID to own each Administration Server that you create.
