For installing DB2 in a VCS environment, Veritas recommends that you follow the installation procedure in the relevant IBM DB2 UDB guide.
Install binaries on local disks of each node, and the database instances on shared storage, accessible by each cluster node.
To install DB2 in VCS environment
# /opt/IBM/db2/V9.7/adm/db2licm -a db2ese.lic
Keep in mind the following when you install:
When you use the db2setup, do not select the option to Auto start DB2 instance at system boot in the DB2 Instance Properties window. Note that this option does not exist on all DB2 versions. VCS needs to bring up the resources for the DB2 instances in a specific order before it brings the instance online.
The instance's home directory is a mount point on the local system.
