Considerations for Remotely Administering Clusters Using the Control Center

After you install DB2 Universal Database Enterprise - Extended Edition for Windows on multiple nodes, the setup process will only configure the instance owning machine to be the coordinator node for communications from client machines. To remotely administer nodes using the Control Center, you will need to enable communications on each of the nodes.

You need to update the services file and specify the port that you want the server to listen on for incoming client requests from the Control Center. The services file is located in the\winnt\system32\drivers\etc directory.
Note:The location of the services file can depend on the products you have installed on your system. See you TCP/IP documentation for more information.
To enable communications on one of the nodes, reserve a TCP/IP port on each of the machines. Using a local test editor, add the port entry to the services file for TCP/IP support. For example:

db2cntlc   4000/tcp   # Reserved for Control Center - Coordinator function

where:

db2cntlc
is the Service name that has been set by the instance owner,

4000
is the port number, and

tcp
is the communication protocol that you are using.
