|4.6 Installing DB2 Enterprise-Extended Edition on AIX

| |

|Step 4, in the Performing the Installation section of the DB2 |Enterprise-Extended Edition for UNIX Quick Beginnings manual states that you |should allocate a CD-ROM file system by entering the following command:

|     crfs -v cdrfs -p ro -d cd0
| 

|For this command to complete successfully, you must also specify the mount |point using the --m command.

|      crfs -v cdrfs -p ro -d cd0 -m /cdrom

|There is also a step missing in the Performing the Installation |section. After Step 5, mounting the CD-ROM file system on the control |workstation, each node that will participate in your partitioned database |system should remotely mount the CD-ROM file system. Assuming that |/cdrom does not already exist on participating nodes, use the |following commands to export and remotely mount the /cdrom file system on the |control workstation:

|     exportfs -i -o ro /cdrom
|     dsh mkdir /cdrom
|     dsh mount cws_hostname: /cdrom /cdrom

|where cws_hostname is the host name of the control |workstation.
