Installation of DB2 11.1.3.3 or later fix level and License Key Activation Process

High level procedure to use DB2 11.1.3.3 (or later fix levels) with SDS 6.4.0.20 or later fix levels on AIX and Linux
1. Install DB2 11.1.3.3 or later fix level and apply Activation Keys. Refer the steps mentioned below in -
2. Install recommended fix levels of latest GSKIT and Java SDK by referring to SDS 6.4 recommended fixes table.
3. Install SDS 6.4.0.20 using native operative system commands.
Note: If you are upgrading from previous SDS 6.4 versions to SDS 6.4.0.20 -
  • If Previous fix level of SDS 6.4 is installed using DB2 prereq check skip file, then make sure to delete IBMLDAP_INSTALL_SKIPDB2REQ file, so that ldapdb.properties file is created and populated with correct details of installed DB2 11.1 version.

    Location of IBMLDAP_INSTALL_SKIPDB2REQ file:
    AIX: /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4/install/IBMLDAP_INSTALL_SKIPDB2REQ
    Linux: /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/install/IBMLDAP_INSTALL_SKIPDB2REQ
     
  • If DB2 prereq check skip file is not removed before upgradation, then blank entries are created in ldapdb.properties file (specified as below) so that the end user can fill it later.
    currentDB2InstallPath=
    currentDB2Version=
4. After upgradation to SDS 6.4.0.20 or in case of fresh install of SDS 6.4.0.20, the global ldapdb.properties file gets created and populated with correct details of installed DB2 11.1:
  • Location of global ldapdb.properties file for SDS 6.4:
    AIX: /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4/etc/ldapdb.properties
    Linux: /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/etc/ldapdb.properties
     
  • Sample of updated contents of ldapdb.properties file:
    AIX:
    currentDB2InstallPath=/opt/IBM/db2/V11.1
    currentDB2Version=11.1.3.3

    Linux:
    currentDB2InstallPath=/opt/ibm/db2/V11.1

  • Find DB2 11.1 install location, and version info: /usr/local/bin/db2ls
  • Create/Update SDS 6.4 global ldapdb.properties file using a normal text editor like vi / vim on Linux and AIX:
    • ldapdb.properties file requires two lines in the format:
      currentDB2InstallPath=<supported_db2_install_location>
      currentDB2Version=<supported_db2_version_level>
    • AIX - Sample of updated contents of ldapdb,properties file:

    • Windows operating systems using a "DB2 command window as Administrator":
      <db2_11.1_install_path>>\bin\db2licm -a <unpack_path>\hc\db2\license\db2hc.lic
    • Verify the DB2 activation:
      db2licm -l
Next Steps after successful SDS 6.4 installation:
  1. Create and configure a new SDS 6.4 instance
  2. Upgrade an instance of a previous version (V6.3 / V6.3.1) to SDS 6.4 instance:
  3. On an existing SDS 6.4 instance with DB2 10.5, upgrade the DB2 to 11.1 using "idsdbmigr" tool provided by SDS 6.4 (in sbin folder of SDS 6.4 installation)
    • Stop ibmslapd and ibmdiradm processes for the SDS 6.4 instance.
