• Local Configuration -- Domino 8 and DB2 9.1 installed and running on one computer. (See Figure 1)
• Remote Configurations -- See Remote Configuration, Figure 2 and Figure 3.
  • DB2 Run-Time Client is installed on the same servers as Domino, and the Domino server is pointing to one instance of DB2 9.1 installed on another computer. The DB2 Run-Time Client must be installed on the Domino server. (See Figure 2)
  Caution Do not confuse the DB2 Run-Time Client with the DB2 Run Time Client Lite (RTCL). We do not support the DB2 Run Time Client Lite.
  • Multiple Domino servers are reinstalled on one partitioned server. DB2 is installed on another server. (See Figure 3)

• DB2 Run-Time Client -- Must be installed on the Domino server in all configurations where DB2 is installed on one computer and Domino is installed on another computer.
• DB2 Universal Database™ Enterprise Server Edition -- Includes all components of a DB2 server and connects to a remote DB2 server.
• DB2 Workgroup Edition -- We do not provide this but if a customer has purchased and is using this, we will support it.

A DB2 server can support multiple Domino servers, each connected to its own database. These can be separate databases in the same DB2 instance or separate DB2 instances -- each supporting a single database / Domino server (recommended).
