Setting up to create application server clones

This topic describes some setup tasks you must perform before you can create server clones from your server group.

This task is part of the main task of Configuring a multiple server environment. After you complete these steps, return to Configuring a multiple server environment.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that all servers in your server group have a static IP address with a fully qualified host name.
  2. Install DB2 Universal Database, Version 7.2.1:
    1. Install DB2 Universal Database, Version 7.2.1 on each physical server.
    2. After rebooting the server, install FixPak 5. Where possible, accept the defaults.
    3. Stop all DB2 services.

      If you are using a Windows NT workstation, switch the JDBC level to 2.0. Change the usejdbc2.bat file in the \Program Files\java12 directory.

    4. Restart the DB2 services.
  3. Install WebSphere Application Server, Version 4.0 with FixPak 2 and FixPak 3.
  4. Install IBM DB2 Everyplace on each physical server. Select the Multiple Server Environment installation type.
  5. Repeat steps 1- 5 for each additional physical server in your server group.
  6. Choose a WAS server and Install the IBM_DB2_Everyplace.ear file into the WAS server that you selected.
    1. Run the scripts:
      • If the WAS server is on a UNIX platform, run the scripts in ${DSYINSTDIR}/Server/installableApps/unix

        dsy_was40_install.sh "$(WebSphere Application Server installation home)" adminnodename "$DSYINSTDIR" "$DSYQLLIBINSTDIR" "<7 or 8>" "<dsyusername>" where <7 or 8> is the version number of DB2 UDB and <dsyusername> is the DB2 Everyplace instance user name.

      • If the WAS server is on a Windows platform, run the scripts in %DSYINSTDIR%\Server\installableApps\nt

        dsy_was40_install.bat "WebSphere Application Server installation home" adminnodename "%DSYINSTDIR%" "%DSYQLLIBINSTDIR%" "<7 or 8>" "<dsyusername>" where <7 or 8> is the version number of DB2 UDB and <dsyusername> is the DB2 Everyplace instance user name.

      This command creates an Application Server on the DB2 Everyplace Server, installs the DB2 Everyplace EAR file, regenerates the plug-in configuration that the servlet redirector uses to route requests, and starts the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server.

    2. Verify the installation of the DB2 Everyplace EAR file by opening a Web browser. Type http://hostname/db2e/db2erdb. If the server running a message will be returned with the servlet name and other relevant information.
