Response files contain values that are used
to answer questions during the installation process that you would
normally answer. Use this installation method to install multiple
copies of your DB2® pureScale® Feature on
multiple computers, or to have the same installation decisions in
all DB2 pureScale Feature installations.
Before you begin
Before
you begin the installation:
- Ensure that you created your DB2 pureScale Feature installation
plan, that your system meets the prerequisites, and that you completed
the preinstallation tasks.
- Create a response file.
- All DB2 processes
associated with the copy of DB2 you
are working with are stopped.
- Ensure
the response file keyword LIC_AGREEMENT is set to ACCEPT.
Procedure
To install the DB2 pureScale Feature using
a response file:
- Log in as root.
- Enter the db2setup command as follows:
./db2setup -r responsefile_directory/response_file
where: - responsefile_directory represents the directory
where the response file is located; and
- response_file represents the name of the response
file.
- Check the messages in the
log file when the installation finishes. The installation
logs are located, by default, in the /tmp directory:
- db2setup.log (db2setup_username.log for
non-root installations, where username is the non-root
user ID under which the installation was performed)
- db2setup.err (db2setup_username.err for
non-root installations, where username is the non-root
user ID under which the installation was performed)
You can specify the location of the log file. An installation
history log db2install.history is located in DB2DIR/install/logs where DB2DIR specifies
the path where the DB2 database
product was installed. The default installation directory is: - For AIX®, /opt/IBM/db2/V10.5
- For Linux, /opt/ibm/db2/V10.5
If more than one DB2 database
product is installed in the same location, you will see db2install.history.xxxx,
where xxxx are digits, starting at 0001 and increasing
depending on how many DB2 copies
you have installed.
Example
The
following example installs the
DB2 pureScale Feature using
response file
db2dsf.rsp:
db2setup -r /mydir/db2server.rsp -l /tmp/db2setup.log -t /tmp/db2setup.trc
where
mydir represent
the directory where you saved the
db2server.rsp file.
