Configuring Db2 on UNIX or Linux®

Before you begin

  • supports Db2. From the Passport Advantage V10 image assemblies download the part numbers as specified in the download document. Follow the documentation provided for the Db2 version that you are using.

Procedure

  1. Create the database. Refer to the Db2® documentation for information about creating the database, including creating a schema repository, login, and tablespace. Be sure to install the correct version and fix pack. Be sure to install the client components and compilers before you install the fix pack.
  2. Size the database by estimating the required disk space.
  3. Set the database connection properties.
    Note: The installation script creates tables and indexes. Certain tables require a page size of 32K. You should have a tablespace to accommodate such tables. Db2 automatically places tables and indexes in the available tablespaces using its internal logic. You can move the tables to a different tablespace after the installation is complete.
  4. Install Client Components, Compilers, and Fix Pack.
  5. Set Parameters for Db2.
  6. Grant Permissions for Db2.
  7. Install JDBC Drivers for Db2.
