  ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
 
       This document describes how to make an instance for DB2 v1.1
       and v1.2 and is applicable to AIX versions 3.2.5 and 4.1.
 
  STEPS TO MAKING AN INSTANCE
 
       1.  Login as root.
 
       2.  Create a group and user for the database instance owner,
           such as:
 
              mkgroup sysadm1
              mkuser pgrp=sysadm1 groups=sysadm1 home=/home/inst1 inst1
              passwd inst1  (set the password for inst1)
 
           NOTE:  The group and user name have restrictions in
           their naming.  Documentation can be found in the DB2
           "Installation Guide".  These restriction vary slightly
           across platforms.  In this example inst1 is the instance
           owner and sysadm1 is the group.
 
       3.  Instance Command:
 
              /usr/lpp/db2_01_01_0000/instance/db2instance inst1
 
           Once you run this command a new directory tree will be
           created under /home/inst1/sqllib.  This should not be
           altered or used outside of the database.
 
       4.  Edit the .profile created in /home/inst1.
 
              vi /home/inst1/.profile
 
           Add the following line:
 
              . /home/inst1/sqllib/db2profile
 
           NOTE There is a "." before "/home...".  If you forget
           the "." then the command will not update your current
           shell.

                                                                12/08/95
 
       5.  You have now completed the process of making an
           instance.  You can now proceed to issue a db2start,
           after logging in as the instance owner.
