Solaris clustered server: Install DB2
- On the DB host, update OS kernel parameters based on recommendations in the DB2 Quick Beginnings guide.
- When you install DB2 it automatically creates a DB2 administrative user with the correct operating system rights.
- Verify sufficient disk space for the DB2 instance home directory to be able to create the required databases.
- All DB2 instructions apply to DB2 pureScale except where specifically noted.
- For JDBC Type 2 drivers, perform additional steps.
See the Type 2 configuration section for more instructions.
- If the DB2 instance that maintains the databases for WebSphere Portal is used by other applications, for example, another portal, accessing databases on the same DB2 instance, it maybe necessary to increase the value of NUMDB.
To set NUMDB to 30:
UPDATE DATABASE MANAGER CONFIGURATION USING NUMDB 30
- WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/dbdrivers/db2jcc4.jar
- WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/dbdrivers/db2jcc_license_cu.jar
- On the DB2 system, verify the DB2 instance port was added to the services file during the DB2 installation.
- Edit /etc/services
- Ensure that...
DB2_db2inst1 50000/tcp
...where db2inst1 is the DB2 instance name, is in the services file. If you do not see DB2_db2inst1 50000/tcp in the services file, add this entry to the services file.
Ensure that the port number used is not in use. If the port number is already in use, select a different port number.
