This section shows the minimum amount of disk space that is required by DB2 products. It does not include the disk requirements necessary for the operating system, application development tools, and communications products. Consult each product's documentation for these values. Estimates for disk space requirements are listed here. The actual amounts required depend on the functions you are using. Use this information to plan for systems with a large number of concurrent clients or databases.
To estimate the disk requirements for a particular configuration, add the recommended minimum disk sizes for the products and components you want to install. Include an allowance for your application data.
Use Table 1 to estimate the amount of disk space you need to install DB2
and associated products on your operating system.
