Table 1-8 Installation methods
These DB2 installation methods are further discussed in Chapter 2, “DB2 server
deployment” on page 29 and Chapter 3, “DB2 client deployment” on page 89.
Proper consideration should also be given to the deployment testing prior to any

installer be used to help you understand all terms and keywords that are present
in the non-interactive modes of installing prior to testing.
