Quick Beginnings for DB2 Universal Database EEE for Windows NT**

Performing the Installation

To install an instance-owning database partition server, or a database partition server that will participate in a partitioned database system, perform the following steps:

Step  1.
Log on to the system with the domain user account that you created to perform the installation.
Step  2.
Shut down any other programs so that the setup program can update files as required.
Step  3.
Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The auto-run feature automatically starts the setup program. The setup program will determine the system language, and launch the setup program for that language. If you want to run the setup program in a different language, or the setup program failed to auto-start, see the tip that follows.

To manually invoke the setup program, perform the following steps:

Click on Start and select the Run option.
In the Open field, enter the following command:
x:\setup /i language

where:

x: represents your CD-ROM drive
language represents the country code for your language (for example, EN for English). Table 8 lists the code for each available language.

Click on OK.

Step  4.
The Welcome window opens.

Step  5.
Respond to the setup program's prompts. Online help is available to guide you through the remaining steps. Invoke online help by clicking on the Help push button or pressing the F1 key at any time. You can click on the Cancel push button at any time to end the installation.

To install the instance-owning database partition server, you must ensure that you select the This machine will be the instance-owning database partition server option in the Select Installation Option window.
To install a database partition server that will participate in an instance, you must ensure that you select the This machine will be a new node on an existing partitioned database system option in the Select Installation Option window.

If you have just finished installing the instance-owning database partition server, return to Step 1 and complete these steps, on another machine, to install a database partition server that will participate in the instance you just created.
If you have finished running the setup program on two different machines, creating both the instance-owning database partition server and a database partition server to participate in the instance, you are finished creating a partitioned database system. Go to Verifying the Installation.

The installation program has:

Created DB2 program groups and items (or shortcuts).
Registered a security service.
Reserved the port that you specified for the DB2 Performance Monitor in the services file with the service name db2ccmsv.
Reserved the port range that you specified for FCM in the services file with the service names DB2_DB2MPP for the first port number and DB2_DB2MPP_END for the last port number.
Updated the Windows registry.
Created a default instance named DB2MPP and added it as a service (if you selected to create a default instance). If you selected the Automatically start the DB2 instance at boot time option during the install, the service's start-up type was set to Automatic, otherwise, it was set to Manual.
The instance directory is located in the \sqllib directory. During the installation, the DB2 setup program gives the instance directory the shared name DB2-instance_name. Read and write permissions are automatically granted to everyone in the domain. After completing the installation, you can change the permissions to restrict access to the directory.
If the setup program detected any pre-Version 6 single-partition instances, they were migrated to the Version 6 single-partition format. If the setup program detected any pre-Version 6 partitioned database instances, they were migrated to the Version 6 multipartition format.
Created the DB2 Administration Server.

For information on errors encountered during installation, see the db2.log file. The db2.log file stores general information and error messages resulting from the install and uninstall activities. By default, the db2.log file is located in the x:\db2log directory, where x: represents the drive on which your operating system is installed.

For more information, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
