Veritas NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Specifying the DB2 home path (UNIX)

After you install NetBackup with a valid license for NetBackup for DB2, run this script on the computer where the DB2 vendor software is installed. With this script, NetBackup can gather additional information about your DB2 environment.

Complete this procedure at the following times:

  • After you specify a log archiving method in DB2.

  • If you licensed NetBackup for DB2 for the first time.

  • When you create a new DB2 instance.

To specify the DB2 home path

  1. Change to the following directory:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin

  2. Run the following script:

    ./db2_config

  3. Supply the home path for the database instance.

    For example:

    /home/db2inst1

  4. Add any other database instances, or enter n if you are finished.
