Running the installation program for a setup that includes Db2 clustering

Create administrator and component owner accounts and groups. Run the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server installation program.

Procedure

  1. Create identical administrator and component owner accounts and user groups on all servers in the cluster. Make sure that the group IDs and user IDs are identical on both servers.
    The following sample commands create some of the accounts and groups:
    Operating system Commands
    AIX®
    /usr/bin/mkgroup id='202' db2iadm1
    /usr/bin/mkgroup id='203' db2fadm1
    /usr/bin/mkgroup id='205' xmeta
    /usr/bin/mkgroup id='206' iauser
    /usr/bin/mkgroup id='207' dstage
    
    /usr/bin/mkuser pgrp=db2iadm1
      groups=db2iadm
      home=/home/db2inst1 db2inst1
    /usr/bin/mkuser pgrp=db2fadm1
      groups=db2fadm
      home=/home/db2fenc1 db2fenc1
    /usr/bin/mkuser pgrp=xmeta
      groups=xmeta
      home=/home/xmeta    xmeta
    /usr/bin/mkuser prgp=iauser
      groups=iauser
      home=/home/iauser   iauser
    /usr/bin/mkuser pgrp=dstage
      groups=dstage
      home=/home/dsadm    dsadm
    Linux
    /usr/sbin/groupadd db2iadm1
    /usr/sbin/groupadd db2fadm1
    /usr/sbin/groupadd xmeta
    /usr/sbin/groupadd iauser
    /usr/sbin/groupadd dstage
    
    /usr/sbin/useradd -g db2iadm1
      -d /home/db2inst1 db2inst1
    /usr/sbin/useradd -g db2fadm1
      -d /home/db2fenc1 db2fenc1
    /usr/sbin/useradd -g xmeta
      -d /home/xmeta xmeta
    /usr/sbin/useradd -g iauser
      -d /home/iauser iauser
    /usr/sbin/useradd -g dstage
      -d /home/dsadm dsadm

  2. Run the InfoSphere Information Server installation program in graphical mode. Complete the entire InfoSphere Information Server installation as described in Scenario D: Clustered metadata repository tier and services tier configuration.
