Testing the Db2 Connection
After you add a Db2 application server, you can test the connection. The test verifies communication with the server and the DNS settings between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and the Db2 server.
To test the Db2 connection:
- From the navigation menu, expand Manage Protection, then expand Applications. Expand Db2, then click Backup.
- In the Backup window, click Manage Applications servers, and select an instance.
- A list of the Db2 application servers that are available are shown.
- Click Actions for the instance you want to test. Choose Test to start the verification tests for Physical, Remote and Operating System connections and settings.
- The test report shows you a list of the tests that run. It consists of a test for the physical host network configuration, and tests for the remote server's installation on the host, which checks SSH and SFTP on the host. The last test is a test of the Linux server for the correct sudo privileges.
- Click OK to close the test, and choose to rerun the test after you fix any failed tests.
