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:
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:

Step 4. | The DB2 Launchpad opens. It looks similar to the following:
| ||||
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.

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:
The instance directory is located in the \sqllib directory. During the installation, the DB2 setup program gives the instance directory the shared name DB2-instance_name. Read and write permissions are automatically granted to everyone in the domain. After completing the installation, you can change the permissions to restrict access to the directory.
If the setup program detected any pre-Version 7 single-partition instances, they were migrated to the Version 7 single-partition format. If the setup program detected any pre-Version 7 multi-partition database instances, they were migrated to the Version 7 multi-partition format.
![]() | 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. |
