DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63992 Status: Closed

Downlevel DB2 instance wont autostart after install higher level

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
If you have 2 versions of DB2 on the same machine configured 
correctly for autostart (DB2AUTOSTART set to yes), only the 
latest version will autostart due to library incompatibility 
with the old version.  Even if the instance is migrated from a 
lower level, the newly migrated instance will autostart, but the 
older ones will not. The fix for APAR IZ45208 will resolve this. 
 
There should only be 1 entry (latest DB2 version) in 
/etc/inittab.  The db2fmcu is then expected to start all the 
other instances (same version AND older versions of DB2) on the 
same machine. However due to this APAR, the older versions of 
DB2 will not autostart. 
 
The solution is to upgrade the most current DB2 version 
(whichever one has is in the /etc/inittab) to the fixpack that 
contains the fix to resolve it.
