Installing Additional Linux Servers (DSA)

For each additional server that you want to add to your deployment, ensure that they are communicating with each other, and then follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that each server uses the same DB2 server version being used by the Master server.
  2. Copy the license.pvk and masthead.afxm files from the master server to a folder on each machine that you are installing.
  3. Run the install.sh script on each machine that you want to configure as an additional Server. Use the same domain administration that you used for the local DB2 Server install in order to have the SA authority.
  4. On the Select Install Type prompt, choose:
    [2] Production: Install using a production license or an authorization from 
    a production license
  5. On the Select the IBM Endpoint Manager Features you want to install prompt, choose either to install All Components, or Server and Client only.
  6. On the Select Database Replication prompt, choose:
    [2] Replicated Database.
  7. On the Select Database prompt, choose [1] Use Local Database (typical for most applications).
    Note: You can also select a remote database hosted on a different server. In this case ensure that the server you are installing can resolve the hostname of the remote server where the database resides.
  8. On the DB2 Local Administrative User prompt, assuming you chose Use Local Database earlier, enter the user name and password of the DB2 administrative user for the database on the computer where the installation script is running.
  9. Enter the folders of the Web Servers Root and WebReports Server Root
  10. Enter the port number of the WebReports Server.
  11. Define the credentials of the WebReports administrative user. The default is: IEMAdmin.
  12. Specify the location of license.pvk and its password.
  13. Specify the location of the existing masthead.afxm file that was generated when installing the master server.
  14. On the Secondary Server DNS Name prompt, enter the DNS name of the new server. This name must be resolvable by other servers and by clients.
  15. On the DB2 Connection prompt, enter the port number of the local DB2 instance where the installer is running.
  16. Enter information about the master server DB2 instance to allow the new server to connect to DB2 on the master server:

    On the Master Server Database Hostname prompt, specify the hostname of the system where the Master Server Database is located.

    On the Master Server Database Port prompt, specify the database port number of the system where the Master Server Database is located.

    On the Master Server Database Administrative User prompt, specify the username of the DB2 Administrative user of the system where the Master Server Database is located.

    On the Master Server Database Administrative User Password prompt, specify the password of the DB2 administrative user of the system where the Master Server Database is located.
