Installing, updating, and uninstalling automated failover scripts for the IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP)

If you use the Db2® High Availability (HA) Feature with IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) as your cluster manager, the database manager uses scripts to support automated failover solutions. You can install, upgrade, and uninstall these SA MP scripts using the Db2 installer, or the installSAM or uninstallSAM scripts that are included in the Db2 install media.

Before you begin

  • To install, upgrade, or uninstall the SA MP scripts using the Db2 installer or the installSAM or uninstallSAM scripts that are included in the Db2 install media, you must purchase the Db2 High Availability Feature.

    If you perform a non-root install of IBM Data Server, you can install the SA MP scripts from the Db2 install media separately. When you install the SA MP scripts separately, you still must have root authority.
