Note: You must install the IBM Data Server
Client (64-bit) in a distributed environment
only. It is not required in a standalone
environment. In a distributed environment,
install the DB2 client software on each
server where you plan to install a Tivoli
Netcool Performance Manager component,
with the exception of where you installed
the DB2 server.
Note: Install DB2 Version 10.1 Fix Pack 3 to
resolve some issues that you may
encounter in relation to administering and
performance of DB2. For more information,
see Release Summary.
