"Recommended & Security Patches" can be obtained from the sun Web site. On the SunSolve · Online Web site, click the "Patches" menu item in the left-side navigation pane. J2SE Solaris Operating Environment Patch Clusters and SUNWlibC are also required. For DB2 systems that use 64-bit Fujitsu su PRIMEPOWER, the following software resources are required:

The Solaris 9 Kernel updates patch 112233-01 or later to obtain the revision of patch 912041-01.

The Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER patch for Solaris Operating Environment is available from FTSI. We recommend that you do not install DB2 on NFS (Network File System.

Run DB2 products on NFS (for example, NFS needs to install/opt/IBM/db2/V9.1, and then run the code physically installed on a remote system ), you need to perform several setup steps manually.

You should understand many potential problems before setting NFS for DB2. For detailed instructions.
