Specifying the list of machines in a partitioned database environment
By default, the list of computers is taken from the database partition configuration file, db2nodes.cfg.
About this task
Note: On Windows,
to avoid introducing inconsistencies into the database partition configuration
file, do not edit it manually. To obtain the list of computers
in the instance, use the db2nlist command.
Procedure
To override the list of computers in db2nodes.cfg:
- Specify a path name to the file that contains the list of computers by exporting (on Linux® and UNIX operating systems) or setting (on Windows) the environment variable RAHOSTFILE.
- Specify the list explicitly, as a string of names separated
by spaces, by exporting (on Linux and UNIX operating systems) or setting
(on Windows) the environment
variable RAHOSTLIST. Note: If both of these environment variables are specified, RAHOSTLIST takes precedence.
