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.
To estimate the disk requirements for a particular configuration, add the recommended minimum disk sizes for the products and components that you want to install. Include an allowance for your application data.
Use Table 2 to estimate the approximate
amount of disk space you need to install DB2 and associated components on your
operating system.

| The online documentation in HTML format component will install the DB2 documentation in a compressed format. You may need extra disk space temporarily for decompression. Once you have finished the installation, remove the fileset to reclaim the disk space. |
Use Table 3 to estimate the amount of disk space you
need on each of your client workstations.
 | If you are planning to use a DB2 client that is not listed in this table, but is supported by DB2, refer to the Installation and Configuration Supplement for more information. |
|
| If you are installing the Control Center or the online documentation on a Windows NT FAT or a Windows 9x FAT16 disk partition, you may require additional amounts of disk space. |
