Quick Beginnings

Installing on Other UNIX Systems

To install the DB2 Client Application Enabler on SINIX, SCO OpenServer or Silicon IRIX, you will perform the following steps:

  1. Install the DB2 products. This includes mounting the DB2 Client Pack CD-ROM.

  2. Update the kernel configuration parameters.

  3. Create or assign groups and users.

  4. Create an instance of the product.

You can also set the DB2 operating environment and optionally create links for DB2 files.

Installing on a SINIX System

On the CD-ROM, the installation image for the DB2 Client Application Enabler for SINIX is available in the /cdrom/db2/sinix/IBMdb2directory. To install the DB2 products, you must use the pkgadd command.

Install the DB2 products as follows:

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Insert the Client Pack CD-ROM into the drive.

  3. Mount the CD-ROM using either the sysadm or the mount command as follows: 
       mkdir /cdrom
   mount -F hs /dev/ios0/sdisk006s0 /cdrom

    where /cdrom is the CD-ROM mount directory.

    The install images for DB2 for SINIX products are available in the /cdrom/db2/sinix/IBMdb2 directory.

  4. Install the DB2 Client Application Enabler. Type the following command: 
       pkgadd -d /cdrom/db2/sinix/IBMdb2 db2cliv21 db2msgDe db2conv

Some kernel configuration parameters must be changed to use DB2 Client Application Enabler for SINIX. Use the SINIX idtune command to update the values as given in Table 28. After doing so, rebuild the SINIX kernel and reboot the system for the changes to take effect.

The following values are the minimum recommended:

Table 28. SINIX Kernel Configuration Parameters (Recommended Values)
