Chapter 1. Disk and memory requirements
Ensure that an appropriate amount of disk space is available for your DB2®
environment, and allocate memory accordingly.
Disk requirements
The disk space required for your product depends on the type of installation you
choose and the type of file system you have. The DB2 Setup wizard provides
dynamic size estimates based on the components selected during a typical,
compact, or custom installation.
Remember to include disk space for required databases, software, and
communication products.
On Linux operating systems, 2 GB of free space in the /tmp directory is
recommended.
