Before you begin

Ensure that there is 15 GB of space available for the CI9G8ML.tar.gz file that contains the compressed pattern installer, and a further 16 GB of space available for the extracted files.

DB2® Enterprise V9.7.5.0 must be installed on the Cloud appliance before the pattern can be installed.
