The user under which you are installing DB2 OLAP Server must have both
write and execute privileges in the directory where you are running the installation.
If you install the DB2 OLAP Server as root, then there will be
difficulties with other users accessing the server and updating the installation
with IBM FixPaks, so it is recommended that you install under a user name
other than "root."
Ensure that you have adequate disk space available on your system. You
can check this by running df-k to check
the percentage of space available on the mount where you are installing DB2 OLAP Server.
During the installation, you will be asked to enter the DB2 OLAP Server license
edition and options that you purchased. This information is used to build
a license key for DB2 OLAP Server and to enable the products for which you have licenses.
- Log on to the server as a user ID who will be the administrator of the
DB2 OLAP Server (do not use root).
- If you are installing on a Solaris operating system, set the locale to c. When you have finished installing, make sure the locale is still c when you start the server for the first time. Using the correct locale
ensures that the administration user ID will be configured correctly.
- If your workstation has a CD-ROM drive, follow these steps:
- Insert the DB2 OLAP Server CD into your CD-ROM drive.
- Use the ls command to find setup.sh on the CD. The
file name will be either uppercase or lowercase, depending on your operating
system.
- Enter setup.sh to run the setup script from the DB2 OLAP Server
CD. If a multi-threaded environment is not detected, you will receive an error
message.
- If your workstation does not have a CD-ROM drive, you must create a temporary
directory for use during the installation. To create a temporary directory,
follow these steps:
- Use FTP, NFS, or any similar utility to copy the DB2 OLAP Server installation
files into your temporary directory.
- Change to the temporary directory.
- Use the ls command to find setup.sh in the temporary
operating system subdirectory. For example. look in /temp/aix for
the AIX installation file. The file name will be either uppercase or lowercase,
depending on your operating system.
- Enter setup.sh to run the setup script from the temporary directory.
- If your operating system is not compatible with DB2 OLAP server, you will
receive a notification from the installation, which will then exit. If a multi-threaded
environment is not detected, you will receive an error message.
To install DB2 OLAP Server:
- Enter the directory to which you want to install DB2 OLAP Server. This
can be a pre-existing directory, or a directory that will be created by the
install. IBM strongly recommends that you install DB2 OLAP Server and its
features into a new separate directory; do not install into directory in which
a product other than DB2 OLAP Server and its features has been installed.
- If you have a current DB2 OLAP Server license in another directory that
you want to use for the current installation, enter that directory during
installation for licensing reference.
- You will then be presented with the IBM License Agreement Utility, which
will prompt you for the IBM license agreement approval. You will be asked
to do the following:
- Select the number that corresponds with the language in which you would
like to read the IBM license.
- Press Enter to view the license for approval.
- Press "1" to accept the agreement, "2" to decline it, or "99" to return
to the previous screen.
The IBM License Agreement Utility will then complete
the licensing. The installation will continue to the next panel if the license
was accepted, or exit the installation if the license was declined.
- Select the license edition that you purchased.
- Select the license options that you purchased, including the number of
users licensed. It is important that you select all of the options that you
purchased, as this will enable those options to be used by the DB2 OLAP Server
user.
- Select the products that you want to install.
- After verifying that the summary is correct, select Continue.
- Select Install to run the installation.
An Installation Status Report
panel appears and provides you with updates as the installation progresses.
If there are any errors during the installation process, you will be notified.
The installation file will include a log file (olapinst.log) located
in <ARBORPATH>/install, as well as a response file (olapisnt.rsp) that
can be used for silent or unattended installations. The log file will include
the license information and a list of the installed products. Additionally,
it will include any installation errors if they occurred.
