Disk Requirements

This section shows the minimum amount of disk space that is required to install your DB2 product and components. It does not include the disk requirements necessary for the operating system, application development tools, and communications products. Consult each product's documentation for these values. Estimates for disk space requirements are listed here; the actual amounts required depend on the functions you are using.

For information about space requirements for data, refer to the Administration Guide.
