Perform the following steps to install the DB2 Universal Database (UDB) Workgroup Edition V8.1.2:
- If you have not already done so, insert the CD labeled "DB2 Universal Database WorkGroup Server Edition Version 8.1.2 for Linux
on Intel on 32-bit systems" into the CD-ROM drive and mount it using the mounting procedure.
- Change to the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted by typing the following
command:
cd /cdrom
where /cdrom represents the mount point of the CD-ROM.
- Enter the ./db2setup command to start the DB2 Setup wizard.
- After a moment, the IBM DB2 Setup Launchpad opens.
- When you are ready, click Install Products to start
the installation.
- Select DB2 UDB Workgroup Server Edition. Click Next.
- An installation wizard introductory page opens. Click Next.
- Review and click Accept to accept the license. Click Next.
- Select the installation type by clicking Typical.
You can click View Features to view the features that
will be installed. However, if you need to change the features, you should
perform a custom installation. When you are ready, click Next.
- On the DAS user page, set the user information for the database administration
server (DAS). This user administers the DAS. Type the password and click Next.
- On the Instance setup page, click Create a DB2 instance and
click Next.
- The DB2 Setup wizard creates a new user, db2inst1, in group db2grp1. On the
Instance owner page, you can change user and group names, or you can configure
an existing user to the new DB2 V8 instance by selecting the Existing user option. The default home directory is /home. Change the
instance home directory to a DB2-specific directory, such as /db2home.
Select New user, accept the defaults, and type the password.
Click Next.
- The fenced user is responsible for executing fenced,
user-defined functions, such as UDFs and stored procedures. Once again, note
the home directory location.
On the Fenced user page, select New user, accept the defaults, and type the password. Click Next .
- The DB2 tools catalog lets you use the task center or scheduler. This creates
a database on your local machine that stores task metadata. The scheduler
will not work without this repository. You can also create a DB2 tools catalog
after installation, but it is much easier to let the DB2 Setup wizard create it for you.
On the
Tools catalog page, select Use a local database and
click Next.
- Specify the instance, database, and schema in which to store the tools
catalog. By default, a newly created tools catalog is placed in the home directory
of the instance owner.
Accept the defaults and click Next.
- The administration contact list stores administrator contact information
and is used for notifying administrators when a database requires attention.
You can create a new contact list that is stored locally, or you can use an
existing global contact list that resides on a remote DB2 server. If you
select Enable notification, your system will search
for an available SMTP server and set it to be used for e-mail notifications.
On the Contact list page, accept the default, Local- Create
a contact list on this system, and click Next.
- By default, a health monitor runs on the DB2 instance. The DB2 health monitor sends an e-mail notification
to the person listed at the specified mail address when a health indicator
threshold is exceeded. If you select Address is for a pager, the notification message will be sent to the contact's pager.
Accept
the default, New contact, and click Next.
- The Installation summary page opens and summarizes your installation and
configuration settings. Scroll through this window to verify that the settings
are correct, and then click Finish.
- A status panel opens to show the overall progress of the DB2 installation.
The status panel has two notebook tabs, which show the following information:
- The post-installation steps of DB2 installation
- The installation status report of the DB2 installation
Click Finish to close the status panel.
