Overview

This class install’s specified version of the the DB2 software on the system. The source zip file from IBM is found at the location specified at source. By default it will install only the minimal required set.

Here is an example on how to use it:

class { '::db2_install::software':
  source     => '/software',
  version    => '11.5',
  location   => '/opt/ibm/db2/V11.5',
  file_name  => 'DB2S_11.5.4_MPML.tar.gz',
  version    => '9.0.0.0'
  temp_dir   => '/my_tmp'
  logoutput  => 'true,
}

On systems with a secured /tmp direcory, you MUST specify the temp_dir parameter and specify a directory that puppet is allowed to execute scripts from. It must also have enough space to receive the extracted DB2 installation kit.

Attributes

ensure

State to obtain.

The ensure attribute can be one of two values:

• present
• absent

When you specify present, Puppet will make sure the resource is available with all specified options and properties.

When the resource is already available(installed), and all attributes are as the are specified, Puppet will do nothing.

When you specify absent, Puppet will remove the resource if it is available. If it is not installed, Puppet will do nothing.
