IBM DB2 manual Running a mass deployment, Example 2-21 Mass deployment using db2install

The following example demonstrates the use of the deployment script:

db2srv_install -D -N /tmp/v95ga/ese -H baltic,banda -n -p ese -b /opt/IBM/db2/ V9.5 -l /tmp/mass_db2dply.log

This command deploys DB2 Enterprise Server Edition to machines Baltic and Banda with installation location /opt/IBM/db2/V9.5 specified. A log file /tmp/ mass_db2dply.log is generated for each machine during the deployment.

For a mass deployment using the response file, the command line should look like this:

db2srv_install -R -N /tmp/v95ga/ese -H baltic,banda -r db2ese.rsp

Note: The sample deployment script db2srv_install can be placed in any path. As we are using a root user to perform the deployment, the script should be given sufficient permission to be read and executed by the root user.

Running a mass deployment

Here we deploy the DB2 server to two target machines Baltic and Banda. We outline the steps for performing a mass DB2 server deployment using our script:

1.Login to the file server machine Zaire where DB2 installation image is located.

2.Change the directory to where db2srv_install is located and run the db2srv_install script to start the deployment.

Example 2-21shows a db2_install based mass deployment. Option -D is used to specify db2_install.

Example 2-21 Mass deployment using db2_install

# ./db2srv_install.sh -D -N /tmp/v95ga/ese -H baltic,banda -n -p ese -b / opt/IBM/db2/V9.5 -l /tmp/mass_db2dply.log
