Installing the instances
Install the database instances on the shared storage only on the one node where the instance's home directory is currently mounted. You can choose to install single-partition instance or multi-partition instance. You can use the db2setup tool.
-
When using db2setup, do not select the option to "Auto start DB2 instance at system boot" in the DB2 Instance Properties window (if this option exists for your DB2 version). VCS needs to bring up the resources for the DB2 instances in a specific order before bringing the instance itself online.
-
The instance's home directory is a mount point on the shared storage.
