IBM manual Example 2-19 NFS path where db2 image has been extracted, 70 DB2 Deployment Guide

￿Option -D or -R determines which deployment method is to be used, D for db2_install and R for response file.

￿Option -N specifies the NFS path which has been exported on the file server machine Zaire. In our case, it is /tmp/v95ga/ese. This directory contains the DB2 server image, db2_install, and db2setup as shown in Example 2-19.

￿Option -H specifies all of the machines where the DB2 server are to be deployed. Each machine name is separated by a comma (,). No spaces are allowed between host names, before or after the comma.

￿Option -r specifies the name of the response file. It can not be used together with option D. If used, it is ignored. The response file has to be placed on the path specified by the option N.

Note: Keeping the response file accessible and consistent to every machine is critical to the success of the deployment. Therefore, it is placed in the NFS path and shared with everyone.

We continue using the response file we used in 2.2.3, “Response file” on page 48. In Example 2-20,we copy it to /tmp/v95ga/ese.

Example 2-20 Copy response file to NFS path

# cp /tmp/db2rsp/db2ese.rsp /tmp/v95ga/ese/

￿All other command line options are for the db2_install command. They follow the same syntax stated in the DB2 Information Center:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/topic/

com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0023669.html

Our script just passes these options to db2_install without change.
