DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Installing database partition servers on participating computers using a response file (Linux® and UNIX®)

Prerequisites

• You have installed DB2 on the primary computer using the DB2 Setup wizard and have created a response file for installing on participating computers.
• You must have root authority on participating computers.

To install additional database partition servers using a response file:

1. As root, log on to a computer that will participate in the partitioned database environment.
2. Change to the directory where you copied the contents of the DB2 product DVD. For example:

        cd /db2home/db2dvd

3. Enter the db2setup command as follows:

   ./db2setup -r /responsefile_directory/response_file_name

   In our example, the response file, AddPartitionResponse.file, was saved to the /db2home directory. The command for our example, is:

   ./db2setup -r /db2home/AddPartitionResponse.file

4. Check the messages in the log file when the installation finishes.

You must log onto each participating computer and perform a response file installation.

If you want your DB2 product to have access to DB2 documentation either on your local computer or on another computer on your network, then you must install the DB2 Information Center. The DB2 Information Center contains documentation for the DB2 database system and DB2 related products.
