The actual fixed disk requirements of your installation may vary depending on your file system and the components you install. Ensure that you have included a disk space allowance for your operating system, application development tools, application data, and communications products. For more information about space requirements for data, refer to the Administration Guide.
A default installation of DB2 requires a minimum of 250 to 300 MB of disk space. This amount includes the online production documentation and tools. On NUMA-Q systems, a default installation requires a minimum of 80 MB.
Use Table 1 to estimate the amount of disk space you
need on each of your client workstations. You may require additional
amounts of disk space depending on your file system.
