| A1: | Two methods are available: the DB2 Setup Wizard and Silent install. |
| A2: | Four methods are available: the DB2 Setup wizard, Silent install, the db2_install script, and the operating system's native install tools. |
| A3: | The default instance name is db2inst1. The user owner ID db2inst1 is created as well. If db2inst1 already exists, DB2 will try db2inst2, db2inst3, and so on. |
| A4: | An alternate FixPak contains all fixes, as does a regular FixPak, but the fixes are built into the product. Moreover, it is installed under a different directory, so DB2 treats it as a different product. This way you can have different DB2 FixPak levels for the same version on the same computer. |
| A5: | By default, three logs are generated under the /tmp directory: db2setup.his, db2setup.log, and db2setup.err. To redirect the logs to a different location, run the db2setup program with the l option. |
| A6: | By default, two logs are generated under the My Documents\DB2LOG directory: db2.log and db2wi.log. To redirect them to a different location, run the setup program (from the DB2 installation media) with the l option. |
| A7: | DB2ADMNS and DB2USERS. |
| A8: | You need to run the db2iupdt command for all of your DB2 instances after you install a DB2 FixPak to update the instance with the new libraries and to update the logical links to the installed libraries. |
| A9: | The following user rights are granted to the instance owner: |
| A10: | The user who is installing DB2 must have Local Administrator authority. If you want to have the DB2 Setup Wizard create a domain user account for the Instance owner or the DAS user, the installation ID must have the authority to create domain user accounts. |
| A11: | B. The DB2 Setup Wizard and the Silent install are the only two methods available on Windows. |
| A12: | C. A response file is a text file containing all the options to be used during the install process. Use this file as input during a silent install. |
| A13: | C. 50000 is the default |
| A14: | D. You need root authority. |
| A15: | A. The DAS User ID. |
| A16: | B. The db2_install script is not a valid method of installation on Windows. |
| A17: | C. The db2_install script. |
| A18: | A. db2setup r response_file |
| A19: | D. The db2_install script. |
| A20: | B. Using a response file so you install DB2 interactively only once, and save the responses in a response file that you later use to install DB2 on the other machines. |
