Introduction

This chapter provides recipes in order to create a database and get operational in simple and easy steps. We will do so in a manner that respects best practices in the industry.

You have created an instance named db2inst1 on nodedb21, in the previous chapter. You will prepare for available disk space. You will then be able to configure your database for its mission and prepare it for automatic maintenance, so its operation is worry free.

While the nature of these recipes makes them useful right away, it is strongly recommended that they be attempted in a test environment first. We suggest you execute the commands individually, so you can learn as you go along.
