IBM DB2 Query Patroller Installation Guide

Installing a DB2 Query Patroller Server on UNIX



Fast Path

This section describes how to install a DB2 Query Patroller Server on a UNIX-based server. If you want to install a DB2 Query Patroller Server on a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based server, go to Installing a DB2 Query Patroller Server on Windows NT or Windows 2000.

This section describes how to install a DB2 Query Patroller Server on AIX, HP-UX, NUMA-Q/PTX, or the Solaris Operating Environment using the db2setup utility. The db2setup utility works with the C, bash, Bourne, and Korn shells. If you want to use your operating system's native installation tool, refer to the Installation Notes.

If you are installing DB2 Query Patroller on a server that is running DB2 Enterprise - Extended Edition, you must first install the DB2 Query Patroller Server on one database partition server, and then optionally install the DB2 Query Patroller Agent on the remaining database partition servers that participate in the instance. This will balance the database workload across all partitions.

If you are installing DB2 Query Patroller in a DB2 Enterprise Edition environment, you only have to perform a DB2 Query Patroller Server installation. A DB2 Query Patroller Agent is installed with any DB2 Query Patroller Server.

We recommend that you use the db2setup utility to install any DB2 products on a UNIX-based server. This utility leads you through the installation and configuration using a simple text-based interface that includes online help. Default values are generated for all required installation parameters, but you can also enter your own values.

The db2setup utility can:

If you choose to install DB2 using your operating system's native installation tools, you will have to perform many of these time consuming tasks manually.

If you are migrating from a previous installation of DB2 Query Patroller, there are certain considerations that you should be aware of before installing DB2 Query Patroller. We recommend that you install all of your DB2 products before doing any migration tasks for any of the DB2 products that you install.

After you have installed and migrated your DB2 products, despite the order that you follow, there is an additional task that you must perform after the installation completes. For more information, see Post-Installation Tasks for Migration.

For example, after installing a new version of your DB2 server and DB2 Query Patroller, you would then follow the post-migration tasks in your Quick Beginnings manual and finally the post-installation tasks for DB2 Query Patroller. You must migrate your DB2 server before installing DB2 Query Patroller.
