  3. Introduction • Objectives • Bare Metal Install • Patch management on AIX • Other OS patch management – HP-UX, Linux, Solaris • Compliance • System config files • Other system consistency • “Two-Node” install • DB2 on a separate node • ITDS separation • Authentication in general

  4. Authentication Scheme

  5. Desired Phsyical Layout

  6. Prerequisites • Physical Constraints • Two Node install • Single Server • Installer System Req’s • Expect package

  7. Prerequisites (Cont.) • Target • 5 GB free in /tmp • DB2 – 1.6GB • ITDS – 6GB • WebSphere – 1GB • TPM – 7GB (per documentation)

  14. FP1 Installation (Cont.) • DB2 Seperation • Export data • Remove database, instance from TPM server • Create database and import on DB2 server • Catalogue database on TPM server • Different DB name on DB2 server

  15. Tips • NIM integration • NimSH • Nim discovery? • SSH discovery timeout • Favorite tasks

  16. Future • FixPack2 • End of March ETA • AIX patching driver • Integration with Suma and Nim
