Quick Beginnings

Performing the Installation

To install DB2 Enterprise - Extended Edition (DB2 EEE), perform the following steps:

Step  1.

Log on to the Control workstation as a user with root authority.

Step  2.

Insert the appropriate CD-ROM into the drive.

Step  3.

Create a directory for the CD-ROM. To create a directory, enter the following command: 

  mkdir /cdrom

Step  4.

Allocate a CD-ROM file system by entering the following command: 

   crfs -v cdrfs -p ro -d cd0

Step  5.

Mount the CD-ROM file system by entering the following command: 

   mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom

Step  6.

Start the installation program on each workstation that will participate in your partitioned database system by entering the following command: 

   dsh installp -qagXd /cdrom/db2 db2_07_01.xlic

If you are installing DB2 EEE on every RS/6000 SP workstation in your environment, you can specify the -a flag as follows: 
   dsh -a installp -qagXd /cdrom/db2 db2_07_01.xlic

Step  7.

The db2_07_01.xlic fileset will only install those components that are required to run DB2 EEE. This fileset will not install the Control Center and only install the English version of the DB2 messages. To install any non-English DB2 messages, or the Control Center, perform the following steps:

Step  a.

Enter the smit install command.

Step  b.

Click on the Install and Update Software icon.

Step  c.

Click on the Install/Update From All Available Software icon.

Step  d.

Enter the CD-ROM directory that you created in the INPUT device/directory for software field. For example, /cdrom.

Step  e.

Click OK.

Step  f.

Click List beside the * SOFTWARE to install field.

Step  g.

Select the appropriate DB2 Product Messages, DB2 Product Documentation (HTML), DB2 Control Center Help (HTML), and the DB2 Control Center entries from the list of software to install.

You can use to this method to install any other DB2 components that were not installed by default.

Step  h.

Click OK.

If you installed a DB2 Product Library (HTML) fileset, you must run the /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/doc/db2insthtml locale command to uncompress and untar the HTML documentation, where locale represents the language identifier of the installed fileset. If you installed any non-English DB2 Product Library filesets, run this command for the English fileset first, then re-run this command for every installed non-English fileset locale.

Step  8.

Enter the lslpp -l | grep db2_07_01 command when the installation completes to see the DB2 components that were installed on your system.

Step  9.

Log out.
