Installing the VCS agent for DB2 software
The agent binaries for Cluster Server Agent for DB2 is part of VRTSvcsea package. The VRTSvcsea package is already installed if you chose to install all packages or recommended packages during VCS installation. You must manually install the VRTSvcsea package if you installed minimal packages during VCS installation.
You can install the Cluster Server Agent for DB2 from the product disc. You must install the VCS agent for DB2 enterprise agent on all nodes that will host the DB2 service group.
To install the agent on a Solaris SPARC node
- Log in as superuser.
- Make sure that the agent is not already installed. Navigate to /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin and list the contents of the directory.
If the command returns the VCS agents for DB2, you can skip this procedure.
- Create a temporary directory for installation:
# mkdir /tmp/install
Insert the disc into a drive connected to your node:
If you are running Solaris volume-management software, the software automatically mounts the disc as/cdrom/sxrt-6.0-dvd1-sol_sparc. Type the following command to go to the location:
# /cdrom/sxrt-6.1.0-dvd1-sol_sparc
If you are not running Solaris volume-management software, you must mount the disc manually. For example:
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
Where, in this example, /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 is the default for the CD drive. After the disc is mounted, go to the location where the package files are present:
# cd /cdrom
- Copy the package files from the software disc to the temporary directory:
# cp -r pkgs/* /tmp/install
- Navigate to the temporary directory and install the package:
# cd /tmp/install # pkgadd -d VRTSvcsea.pkg
The VRTSvcsea package includes the agent binaries for the DB2 agent. The package also installs the VCS agents for Oracle and Sybase.
To install the language pack
- Log in as superuser.
After installing the agent, insert the language disc into a drive connected to the system.
If you are running Solaris volume-management software, the software automatically mounts the disc as /cdrom. Type the following command to go to the location:
# cd /cdrom
If you are not running Solaris volume-management software, you must mount the disc manually. For example:
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
Where, in this example, /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 is the default for the CD drive.
After the disc is mounted, go to the location where the package files are present:
# cd /cdrom
- Copy the package files from the language disc to a temporary directory:
# cp -r pkgs/* /tmp
- Navigate to the temporary directory and install the VRTSjacse.pkg file.
# cd /tmp # pkgadd -d VRTSjacse.pkg
