Creating a IBM Db2 Database
This page covers the configuration specific to IBM Db2 — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
IBM Db2 is deployed as a single logical instance. Set the Number of Replicas to control how many nodes back the instance for availability.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of Replicas | Number of nodes for the instance (e.g., 1 for a single node, 3 for high availability). |
