Chapter 2. DB2 server deployment

In this chapter, we cover DB2 server deployment considerations and steps involved in the deployment process. In general, the DB2 server deployment takes place prior to the deployment of DB2 clients or DB2 applications.

We present various tools from the DB2 and operating systems that facilitate deployment tasks and provide various customization capabilities. We discuss both single server and multiple servers deployment as well as providing deployment scripts to accelerate mass deployment.

We also cover preventive maintenance in the form of fix pack deployment.
