IBM DB2 manual Example 2-7 The response file generated from sample

3.Specify the instance information:

When the desired components are selected, scroll down in the sample response file to the instance section to specify the information for creating DB2 instance. Here we define two instances, db2inst6 and db2inst7, with respective instance owning user and fence user. We create a local database ITSO under instance db2inst6, and catalog a remote database ITSOD for db2inst7. A DB2 Administration Server db2das is also defined.

Note: When you manually create the response file and define new users in the file, the password of each user can be explicitly written down in the response file. This is only applicable for root user installation. For security reasons, we recommend that you change the password after the deployment.

The user’s password is encrypted in the response file when it is generated using the DB2 Setup wizard.

4.Instance configuration information:

In addition, you can specify database manager configuration parameters for each instance in the response file, as well as instance profile registry and global profile registry. Installer will set these parameters after the creation of instance.

5.Now we have finished the modification based on the sample response file. Example 2-7shows sample response file with unused keywords and comments removed.

Note: The keyword INTERACTIVE is set to NONE here because we want a non-interactive deployment. This keyword can be changed to another value for a different interaction mode. See “Deploying DB2 server with application” on page 55 for another case.
