    Creating a DB2 Instance from the Command Line (Unix/Linux)

    I am new to DB2 or any other DB system so I need a lot of help, and would appreciate any help anyone can give me on this one. While installing DB2, the instance was created, I guess by the Wizzard. Thus, everything required for the instance to be done successfully was done in the background without my involvement. I am looking for information on what is required to create an instance. So far, the information I have gives me the db2icrt as the command line command to use. I ran this on the server and created an instance. I only had to specify the fenced ID and the instance using an existing ID. Is there a requirement for anything else, such as data space or buffer space or any such things?

    With the wizards for installing DB2 for LUW, a lot of this can be done automatically by choosing the automatic management options.

    It's really quite nice. Not so much fuss and trouble as setting up and administering an Oracle DB, in my opinion.
