Windows clustered server: Create a remote or local DB2 database manually


When we use a remote DB2 server, manually create the required databases.

Before creating these databases:

To create a database, you must be a DB2 System Administrator with sufficient database privileges (SYSADM or at a minimum SYSCTRL).

  1. Log in as a DB2 instance system authority.

    For example, we can log in as db2inst1 as the DB2 instance owner.

  2. Ensure that the database user has been created, granted appropriate privileges, and has a password assigned to it. If the user has not been created, refer to the Creating users topic for information on how to create users.

  3. Initialize a DB2 command environment by opening a command prompt and typing db2cmd.

  4. Configure the DB2 database instance:

    db2set DB2COMM=TCPIP
    db2set DB2_EVALUNCOMMITTED=YES
    db2set DB2_INLIST_TO_NLJN=YES
    db2 "UPDATE DBM CFG USING query_heap_sz 32768"
    db2 "UPDATE DBM CFG USING sheapthres 0"
    
    

  5. Create databases:

    • Replace dbname with the actual name of the database. Run the commands and each time replace dbname with the actual values for release, community, customization, Java Content Repository, Feedback, and Likeminds. You will need to run the commands once for each database for a total of six times.

      DB2 database names cannot exceed eight characters. Therefore, consider using these database names: release, commun, custom, jcrdb, fdbkdb, and lmdb.

    db2 "CREATE DB dbname using codeset UTF-8 territory us PAGESIZE 8192"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING applheapsz 4096"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING app_ctl_heap_sz 1024"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING stmtheap 32768"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING dbheap 2400"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING locklist 1000"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING logfilsiz 4000"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING logprimary 12"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING logsecond 20"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING logbufsz 32"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING avg_appls 5"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING locktimeout 30"
    db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname using AUTO_MAINT off"
    

  6. On the DB2 server systems to create bufferpools and table spaces for the IBM Java Content Repository database (jcrdb). This step is only required for the IBM Java Content Repository database.

    • jcrdb is the name of the database used to store user data and objects
    • jcr is the jcr user for jcrdb

      This value can be replaced with any Ithat has administrative authority.

    • dbpassword is the password for the jcr user for the jcrdb

    The commands in this step are different for DB2 and DB2 pureScale. Run the appropriate commands for the environment.

      DB2

      db2 "CONNECT TO jcrdb USER jcr USING dbpassword"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL ICMLSFREQBP4 SIZE 1000 PAGESIZE 4 K"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4 SIZE 16000 PAGESIZE 4 K"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32 SIZE 16000 PAGESIZE 32 K"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL CMBMAIN4 SIZE 1000 PAGESIZE 4 K"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMLFQ32 PAGESIZE 32 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMLFQ32') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMLNF32 PAGESIZE 32 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMLNF32') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMVFQ04 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMVFQ04') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMSFQ04 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMSFQ04') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSFREQBP4"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE CMBINV04 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('CMBINV04') BUFFERPOOL CMBMAIN4"
      db2 "CREATE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE ICMLSSYSTSPACE32 PAGESIZE 32 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('icmlssystspace32') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32"
      db2 "CREATE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE ICMLSSYSTSPACE4 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('icmlssystspace4') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4"
      db2 "CREATE USER TEMPORARY TABLESPACE ICMLSUSRTSPACE4 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('icmlsusrtspace4') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4"
      db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR jcrdb USING DFT_QUERYOPT 2"
      db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR jcrdb USING PCKCACHESZ 16384"
      db2 "DISCONNECT jcrdb"
      db2 "TERMINATE"
      

      DB2 pureScale

      db2 "CONNECT TO jcrdb USER jcr USING dbpassword"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL ICMLSFREQBP4 SIZE 1000 PAGESIZE 4 K"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4 SIZE 16000 PAGESIZE 4 K"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32 SIZE 16000 PAGESIZE 32 K"
      db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL CMBMAIN4 SIZE 1000 PAGESIZE 4 K"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMLFQ32 PAGESIZE 32 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMLFQ32') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMLNF32 PAGESIZE 32 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMLNF32') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMVFQ04 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMVFQ04') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ICMSFQ04 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('ICMSFQ04') BUFFERPOOL ICMLSFREQBP4"
      db2 "CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE CMBINV04 PAGESIZE 4 K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ('CMBINV04') BUFFERPOOL CMBMAIN4"
      db2 "CREATE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE ICMLSSYSTSPACE32 PAGESIZE 32 K BUFFERPOOL ICMLSMAINBP32"
      db2 "CREATE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE ICMLSSYSTSPACE4 PAGESIZE 4 K BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4"
      db2 "CREATE USER TEMPORARY TABLESPACE ICMLSUSRTSPACE4 PAGESIZE 4 K BUFFERPOOL ICMLSVOLATILEBP4"
      db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR jcrdb USING DFT_QUERYOPT 2"
      db2 "UPDATE DB CFG FOR jcrdb USING PCKCACHESZ 16384"
      db2 "DISCONNECT jcrdb"
      db2 "TERMINATE"
