IBM DB2 UDB Scan Requirements

AvailabilityGuard™ collects DB2 configuration data by connecting to each DB2 database through JDBC and running read-only (meta-data) queries and procedures.

To scan IBM DB2 UDB database, you should make the following preparations:

• Identify the database virtual IP (name or address) - if not automatically discovered.
  
• Identify the database connection port - if not automatically discovered.
• Obtain a user account on each database. 
• On version 9 and above, the user assigned to AvailabilityGuard should be a member of the DB2 SYSMON group.
  
• On version 8.1 fix-packs 7 and above, the user assigned to AvailabilityGuard should be a member of the DB2 SYSMON group.
  
• On version 8.1 fix-packs 1-6, the user assigned to AvailabilityGuard should be a member of the SYSCTRL, SYSMAINT, or SYSADM group.
• Make sure that IP connectivity through JDBC (default port 50000) is available between the
  AvailabilityGuard™ collector server and each database.
