Quick Beginnings EEE for Windows**

Performing the Installation

You will first install the instance-owning database partition server on one machine, and then install a database partition server on each of the other machines that will participate in your partitioned database system.

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

Step  1.

Log on to the system with the domain user account that you will use to perform the installation. This is the domain user account that has Local Administrator authority on each machine participating in the partitioned database system.

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 start, see the following tip:

To manually invoke the setup program, perform the following steps:
  1. Click Start and select the Run option.
  2. 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.
  3. Click OK.

Step  4.

The DB2 Launchpad opens. It looks similar to the following:
Installation Launchpad

Step  5.

From the DB2 Launchpad, you can view the Installation Prerequisites and the Release Notes, you can take a Quick Tour to explore the features, capabilities, and benefits of DB2 Universal Database Version 7, or you can proceed directly to the installation.

Step  6.

Once you have initiated the installation from the DB2 Launchpad, proceed by following the setup program's prompts. Online help is available to guide you through the remaining steps. Invoke online help by clicking Help or pressing F1 at any time. You can click Cancel 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.

If you are using the setup program 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 to install database partition servers on all other machines that will participate in the instance you just created.

Remember to wait for the installation to complete on one machine, and to restart the machine before installing on the next machine in your cluster.

If you have finished running the setup program on two or more machines, creating both the instance-owning database partition server and at least one database partition server to participate in the instance, you are finished creating a partitioned database system.

The installation program has:

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.
