Issues related to db2 UDB installation on Linux Fedora Core2

 

  


Hi Friends,

I'm getting following errors while trying to install db2 UDB 8.2 on Linux Fedora Core 2 on my PC;
though I've done all following set ups.

For db2setup procedure
======================
(1) Copied the db2 UDB linux software on linux system at /root/Linux-db2

(2) Modified kernel parameters on Linux Operating Environment.
(a)vi /etc/sysctl.conf
#Included By Mrinal
kernel.shmmax=268435456
kernel.msgmni=1024
fs.file-max=8129
kernel.sem=250 32000 32 1024

(3) Checked & installed following packages.
[[Email Address Removed] root]# rpm -qa|grep -i pdksh
pdksh-5.2.14-24
[[Email Address Removed] root]# rpm -qa|grep -i rsh
rsh-server-0.17-21
rsh-0.17-21
[[Email Address Removed] root]# rpm -qa|grep -i nfs
nfs-utils-1.0.6-20
system-config-nfs-1.2.3-2
[[Email Address Removed] root]# rpm -qa|grep -i liba
libaio-0.3.99-2
libacl-2.2.7-5
libart_lgpl-2.3.16-2.1
libaio-devel-0.3.99-2
libattr-2.4.1-4

(4) Checked whether following processes are running or not
[[Email Address Removed] root]# ps -ef|grep -i inetd|grep -v "grep"
root 9466 1 0 Nov28 ? 00:00:00 xinetd -stayalive -pidfile
/var/run/xinetd.pid

(5)Checked for software requirements for running db2utility and other GUI tools.
Installed : jre-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.rpm, & JDK

And then created :
cd /usr/java/jre1.5.0/
mkdir jre
cd jre
ln -s ../bin bin

(6) Now I started installing the DB2 product using the DB2 Setup wizard (Custom Feature).
And also did DB2 Administration Server setup (including DAS user setup).

(7) Then I found following error :
error: IBM_db2cliv81-8.1.0-64.i386.rpm: MD5 digest: BAD
Expected(ab3cc472492d9570168e2e96bffac114) != (648a19a9bef8dddf3ffab5e076707361)
error: IBM_db2cliv81-8.1.0-64.i386.rpm cannot be installed


For db2_install procedure
=========================

(1) Failed to create filesystem.
[[Email Address Removed] root]# mkfs /db2home 1
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/db2home is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
mkfs.ext2: Filesystem larger than apparent device size.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) n

But I created directory. (/db2home/images)

(2) - Created required groups and users
--------------------------------------------
As root on ServerA and ServerB (and each remaining machine in the cluster) perform the
following to create the appropriate OS users and groups for DB2 (Note: user and group IDs on
each machine must be the same):
groupadd -g 999 db2iadm1
groupadd -g 998 db2fadm1
groupadd -g 997 dasadm1
useradd -u 1004 -g db2iadm1 -m -d /db2home/db2inst1 db2inst1 -p password1
useradd -u 1003 -g db2fadm1 -m -d /db2home/db2fenc1 db2fenc1 -p password2
useradd -u 1002 -g dasadm1 -m -d /home/dasusr1 dasusr1 -p password3
passwd db2inst1
passwd db2fenc1
passwd dasusr1
