Installing DB2 servers (Linux)

This task describes how to start the DB2 Setup wizard on Linux systems. The DB2 Setup wizard is used to define your installation preferences and to install your DB2 product on your system.

Prerequisites:

Before you start the DB2 Setup wizard:

vEnsure that your system meets installation, memory, and disk requirements.

vYou must have root authority to perform the installation.

vThe DB2 product image must be available.

vThe DB2 Setup wizard is a graphical installer. You must have X windows software capable of rendering a graphical user interface for the DB2 Setup wizard to run on your machine. Ensure that the X windows server is running. Ensure that you have properly exported your display. For example, export DISPLAY=9.26.163.144:0.

vIf NIS/NIS+ or similar security software is used in your environment, you must manually create required DB2 users before you start the DB2 Setup wizard. Refer to the referenced Centralized user-management considerations topic before you begin.

Restrictions:

The use of XML features is restricted to a database that is defined with the code set UTF-8 and has only one database partition.
