12.1.5 Using Cluster Agent for IBM DB2 UDB

VERITAS Cluster Server provides so-called Enterprise Agents for different third party applications. The Enterprise Agent for IBM DB2 UDB provides a more extended failure detection than the Bundled Agents, for example: - In depth monitoring allows checking the output of db2nps (shows active processes of the instance).

- Also possible is an evaluation of the output of db2gcf (shows, for example, the current status of an instance).

Important: Enterprise Agents usually need a separate license. Contact VERITAS for detailed information.

To install this agent, for example on UNIX/Linux, follow the instructions provided in VERITAS Cluster Server Enterprise Agent 4.0 for DB2 Installation and Configuration Guide, which is available at: 

http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/ClusterServer_UNIX/

After the agent is installed, you have to import the DB2udbTypes.cf file. Then, you are able to create and configure a service group for IBM DB2 UDB.
