This problem can be worked-around with the following: 
   Specifiy a new, different instance name in the response file 
for the migration install, instead of an existing instance 
 
Then, all the existing V8 DB2 instance(s) will be migrated to 
version 9.7, and the new 
instance specified in the response file will be created too.
