Before you begin
The DB2 software is part of your software purchase. To install it, use the IBM
Installation Manager. If you do not have IBM Installation Manager,
install it as described in "Installing the IBM Installation Manager."
Then configure DB2 as follows.
Procedure
- Create the database. Refer to the DB2® documentation for information
about creating the database, including creating a schema repository,
login, and tablespace. Be sure to install the correct version and
fix pack. Be sure to install the client components and compilers before
you install the fix pack.
- Size the database
by estimating the required disk space.
- Set the database connection properties.
Note: The installation script creates tables and
indexes. Certain tables require a page size of 32K. You should have
a tablespace to accommodate such tables. DB2 automatically
places tables and indexes in the available tablespaces using its internal
logic. You can move the tables to a different tablespace after the
installation is complete.
- Install Client Components, Compilers, and
Fix Pack.
- Set Parameters for DB2.
- Grant Permissions for DB2.
- Install JDBC Drivers for DB2.
