Appendix S. Configuring Multiple Logical Nodes

You can configure multiple logical nodes in one of two ways:

Configure the logical nodes (database partitions) in the db2nodes.cfg file. You can then start all the logical and remote nodes with the DB2START command or its associated API.
Restart a logical node on another processor on which other logical database partitions (nodes) are already running. This allows you to override the hostname and port number specified for the logical database partition in db2nodes.cfg.

To configure a logical database partition (node) in db2nodes.cfg, you must make an entry in the file to allocate a logical port number for the node. Following is the syntax you should use:

   nodenumber hostname logical-port netname

Note: You must ensure that you define enough ports in etc/services for FCM communications.
