Creating the Administration Server

To create the Administration Server, you must have root authority to run the dasicrt command at a command prompt. The syntax of the dasicrt command is as follows:

   DB2DIR/instance/dasicrt ASName

where	DB2DIR	= /usr/lpp/db2_05_00	on AIX
		= /opt/IBMdb2/V5.0	on HP-UX or Solaris

and where ASName is the name of the Administration Server, which is composed of a string of up to eight alphanumeric characters long. Refer to Appendix D. "Naming Rules" for further information.

You use the name of the Administration Server to set up the directory structure and access permissions.

To start the newly-created Administration Server: Use the db2admin command for a manual start (refer to "Starting the Administration Server"). Reboot the system and it will be automatically started during the boot up.
