IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install DB2 for the base HACMP™ cluster
There are several ways to install a DB2 database in a clustered environment; the configuration described in this section is one of many scenarios.The basic cluster resources required for this DB2 configuration, the shared file system, and the virtual IP address, might already be online on the active node. These resources will be required post-installation.
For installing the DB2 server, the DB2 Enterprise Server Edition is used.
Install the DB2 database and its services locally on each cluster node. Accept the default directory as the installation directory. Ensure that the DB2 user IDs are created using the same group ID (GID), and user ID (UID) on each node.
During the installation, create an instance, usually db2inst1.
Procedure
- Turn off the automatic startup of the DB2 server on each node.
- As the root user:
cd sqllib/instance ./db2iauto -off db2inst1
- Edit the file /etc/inittab on both nodes and comment out this line:
fmc:2345:respawn:/opt/IBM/db2/V9.7/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator
- Stop the DB2 on each node. To do so, switch to the user ID of the instance owner and run this command:
db2stop
