  • In case an application such as the IBM Systems Director needs the DB2 client to be installed, the process has a couple of pitfalls. Here are steps that make the installation very simple.
    • Download the DB2 client from IBM: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/9/download.html
    • Create a directory and unpack the tarball in that directory, and install the client:
      wget 'https://www6.software.ibm.com/sdfdl/v2/regs2/smkane/dsclients/IBM_DATA_SERVER_CLIENT/Xa.2/Xb.YZomhqTjd0WgkJqNENbocjIpCoqHi4eEhNMEPXE/Xc.v9.5_aix64_client.tar.gz/Xd./Xf.LPr.D1vk/Xg.4962564/Xi.swg-idsc11/XY.regsrvs/XZ.JOzao7W3aaunX0L_IE0SvHPww1I/v9.5_aix64_client.tar.gz'
      mkdir db2
      cd db2
      gtar xvzf ../v9.5_aix64_client.tar.gz
      cd client
      ./db2_install
    • Create users in the system for the client to use:
      mkgroup -'A' id='999' db2iadm1
      mkgroup -'A' id='998' db2fadm1
      mkgroup -'A' id='997' dasadm1
      useradd -u 1004 -g db2iadm1 -m -d /home/db2inst1 db2inst1
      useradd -u 1003 -g db2fadm1 -m -d /home/db2fenc1 db2fenc1
      useradd -u 1002 -g dasadm1 -m -d /home/dasusr1 dasusr1
    • Create a client instance for the client to use:
      /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/instance/db2icrt -a server -u db2fenc1 db2inst1
    • Add the db2 profile to the default profile:
      echo ". /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile" >> /etc/profile
    • Test the db2 client:
      su - someuser
      db2
    • Add DB2 servers to the catalog:
      db2 catalog tcpip node node_name remote fqdn_of_db2_server server port_number_of _server_instance
      db2 catalog database database_name at node node_name authentication server
    • At that point you are ready to test the database connection:
      db2 connect to database_name user user_name using user_password
