You can install DB2 using either of the following methods:

Using SMIT
The System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) allows you to install a subset of products and filesets on a single machine. If you want to install only a selected set of DB2 filesets or components, see Install Products or Filesets Using SMIT.

Installing software bundles using SMIT
A software bundle contains a list of filesets that are suited for a particular use. Installation, although easier with software bundles, only occurs on a single machine.


Figure hint not displayed.

If you prefer to use the installp command, you must first mount the DB2 CD-ROM. You also need to mount the CD-ROM if you want to view the Installation Notes or print the postscript manuals prior to installation.
