Installation phases
Error conditions that occur and the log files available to you depend on the phase in which the error occurred:
- Introductory that includes panels for language selection, details of the packages to be installed, and the license agreement. The installation program also runs a system prerequisites check to verify the minimum requirements to install the product.
- Db2 installation that includes panels to gather information for installing Db2. After you enter the information, the installation program installs Db2.
