Activating an instance

Edit online

During the activation process, the necessary files are copied from the installation directory to an instance-specific directory. The installer does not activate the instance. In order to activate an instance, follow the procedure.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the production server and use the root user ID. Change to the global installation directory.
  2. Run the following command:

    If the home directory of the database instance owner is not identical to the database instance directory, install the product in the database instance directory.

    ./setup_db2.sh -a install -d <DB2_instance_owner_$HOME_directory>/sqllib/

What to do next

After activating the instance, you must configure the instance to complete the setup.
