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.

Estimating Fixed Disk Requirements

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.

Client Components

Use Table 1 to estimate the amount of disk space you need on each of your client workstations.

Figure hint not displayed.

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.
