Problem IC78968
|
Status: Closed |
AUTOMATIC RESTART OF DB2 ON REBOOT BY DB2FMCD DOES NOT WORK ON SOLARIS 10 |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
Due to the fact that DB2 uses db2fmcd entry in /etc/inittab to
start DB2 instances, and on Solaris 10 /etc/inittab should no
longer be used for starting applications, instead Service
Management Facility (SMF) should be used to stop/start the
applications including DB2.
This APAR is to use SMF (instead of deprecated inittab) to
startup, respawn and stop db2fmcd through SMF. So Live Update of
the OS would be handled more smoothly as the OS will be able to
stop/start the db2fmcd service itself as a maintenance step. |
