- DB2 Universal Database Extended Enterprise Edition (including DB2 Connect
Enterprise Edition)
| RISC System/6000 and the following:
- AIX Version 4.1.4 or later
| APPC, IPX/SPX, or TCP/IP
- For APPC connectivity with two-phase commit, you require IBM
Communications Server Version 4.1 or later for AIX in order to use the
LU6.2 Syncpoint Manager function. If you do not need to use
two-phase commit, IBM SNA Server/6000 Version 1.x or later is
sufficient.
- The AIX base operating system provides TCP/IP connectivity.
For two-phase commit, TCP/IP connectivity is supported only on the AIX
Version 4.1.4 or later server.
- IPX/SPX connectivity is provided by:
- IBM NetBIOS and IPX/SPX for AIX Version 2.1
- IBM NetWare for AIX Version 3.11B
- AIX Connections feature of AIX 4.1.4
- AIX base operating system 4.1.4 or later
Notes:
- DB2 Connect requires SNA Server for AIX Version 2.1 or higher, or
Bull DPX/20 SNA/20.
- If you want to install the DRDA Application Server function of the DB2,
you must install the Syncpoint Manager (SPM) and its prerequisites in order to
use two-phase commit.
- If you want to use DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) with Version 5
of the DB2 Universal Database products, you require a DCE product that is at
OSF DCE level 1.1, which is provided by the AIX Version
4.1.4 operating system with its latest DCE PTF. For DB2
Connect support, you require DB2/MVS Version 5.1 plus its prerequisite,
OS/390 DCE Base Services Version 3 for DCE support.
With DB2 Connect, you must install DCE Directory Services on the client and
the DRDA server. You do not need DCE installed on a DB2 Connect
Enterprise Edition server.
- If you plan to use the ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager (ADSM)
facilities for backup and restore of your databases, you require the ADSM
Client Version 2.1.x.7.
- If you want to use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent,
you require DPI 2.0 provided by IBM SystemView Agent.
