DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the installSAM install script

You can install IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the installSAM installation script that is included in the IBM Data Server installation media.

Before you begin

Whether you use the DB2® installer or the installSAM installation script to install SA MP, you must meet the basic prerequisites for installing SA MP. See: Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP).

If you plan to perform the installation from a Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2 or a later fix pack image, perform the following steps:

Go to the Passport Advantage® website and obtain a permanent SA MP license file from one of your entitled DB2 Version 9.7 activation CDs. For AIX® operating systems, you need the sam32.lic file if you are applying Fix Pack 3 or a later fix pack. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 system, you need the sam32.lic file if you are applying Fix Pack 4 or a later fix pack. For other operating systems and earlier fix packs, you need the sam31.lic file.
Copy the permanent license file into the Fixpack-path/db2/platform/tsamp/license directory where Fixpack-path represents the path where the fix pack image is located and platform represents the operating system used.
Remove the sam31tb.lic or the sam32tb.lic file from the fix pack image. The installation fails if you do not delete these additional license files.
Continue with the installation process.

Procedure

Run the installSAM installation script

The installSAM script is located on the IBM Data Server media at the following location:

db2/platform/tsamp

Where platform refers to the appropriate hardware platform.

For information about using installSAM, see: IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) .

What to do next

If the SA MP installation failed because of a license file mismatch between the fix pack image and the license file on your computer, perform the following steps:

Update your existing license with the correct SA MP permanent license from one of the DB2 Version 9.7 Activation CDs.
Reinstall SA MP using one of the following methods:
1. Use the installSAM script.
2. Reapply the fix pack by running the following command:
```
Fix-pack-image-path/installFixPack -f level -b base-install-path
```
  where Fix-pack-image-path represents the path where the fix pack image is located and base-install-path represents the path where the SA MP will be installed.
  Note: You must use the -f level option to force the DB2 installer to apply the fix pack regardless of the DB2 version that is currently installed.

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the installSAM installation script to install SA MP, follow the same post-installation steps. For more information about general post-install steps, see: Installing 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. These scripts are installed or updated automatically when you use the DB2 installer to install or update SA MP. When you install or update SA MP using the installSAM utility, you must then manually install or update these scripts. For more information about installing or upgrading the scripts manually, see: Installing, updating, and uninstalling automated failover scripts for the IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP).
