Creating and configuring a multipartitioned database

In this recipe, we will proceed to create the NAV database as a multipartitioned database.

Getting ready

We will use nodedb21 and nodedb22 for all recipes in this chapter. The NAV database will be created under instance db2instp, created and configured in the Creating and configuring instances for a multipartitioned environments recipe in Chapter 1, DB2 Instance—Administration and Configuration.

For database storage, we have defined a new Linux partition /data. The database storage path will reside on the /data/db2 directory.

How to do it...

1. Navigate to the /db2partinst/db2instp/sqllib directory. Here, open db2nodes.cfg with your preferred editor; you should find three nodes already configured in the Creating and configuring an instance for multipartitioned environments recipe, in Chapter 1, DB2 Instance—Administration and Configuration:

   [db2instp@nodedb21 sqllib]$ more db2nodes.cfg
   0 nodedb21 0
   1 nodedb22 0
   2 nodedb21 1
   

   These three nodes...
