To install the warehouse agent using the db2setup utility:

1. Log in as a user with root authority.
2. Insert and mount the Warehouse Manager CD-ROM. For information about mounting a CD-ROM, see DB2 for UNIX Quick Beginnings.
3. Change to the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted by entering cd /cdrom, where cdrom is the mount point of your product CD-ROM.

5. Select the products that you want to install and are licensed to install. Press Tab to change the highlighted option. Press Enter to select or deselect an option. When you select an option, an asterisk is displayed next to it.

   To select or deselect optional components for a DB2 product that you want to install, select the Customize option. To go back to a previous window at any time, select the Cancel option.

6. When you have finished selecting the DB2 product and its components, select OK to continue with the installation.

   For more information or assistance during the installation of any DB2 product or component, select the Help option.

When the installation process completes, your warehouse agent is installed in the following directory:

Follow the instructions in Configuring the AIX and Solaris Operating Environment warehouse agent environments to configure the warehouse agent environment and to catalog the DB2 nodes and databases.

If the installation failed, contact IBM Software Support.
