Creating the configuration files

When you set the IBM Storage Protect™ password with the backom utility, the configuration files for all DB2® partitions are automatically created in the paths path/%DB2NODE/.

About this task

The path is the directory is the value of keyword CONFIG_FILE in the profile. %DB2NODE is replaced automatically by a DB2 partition name that is referenced in the DB2 configuration file db2nodes.cfg.

Procedure

  • If the directory denoted by the value of keyword CONFIG_FILE is not in the same network file system as the DB2 configuration file db2nodes.cfg, you must set the password for each system where a partition of the database is located.
  • If the database is not partitioned, NODE0000 is used as the only DB2 partition name.
