Creating groups

Three user group accounts are required on each node in the cluster.

 To create the group accounts on each node in the cluster for AIX systems

1. Create a group for the DB2 UDB instance owner. For example, enter:

   # mkgroup id=999 db2iadm1

2. Create a group for the user to execute fenced user-defined functions (UDFs) or store procedures. For example, enter:

   # mkgroup id=998 db2fadm1

3. Create a group for the database administration server. For example, enter:

   # mkgroup id=997 db2asgrp

 To create the group accounts on each node in the cluster for Linux and Solaris systems

1. Create a group for the DB2 UDB instance owner. For example, enter:

   # groupadd -g 999 db2iadm1

2. Create a group for the user to execute fenced user-defined functions (UDFs) or store procedures. For example, enter:

   # groupadd -g 998 db2fadm1

3. Create a group for the database administration server. For example, enter:

   # groupadd -g 997 db2asgrp
