IBM DB2 8.0 under Red Hat Linux 9.0

Hello,

I'm having trouble running IBM DB2 under Red Hat Linux 9.0. More
specifically, the IBM JDK 1.3.1 (needed for UDF's and the graphical
installer) crashes. After some googling I tracked the reason down to the
new Native Linux Threads (NLT) included in Red Hat 9.0. Apparently, Java
versions prior to 1.4.0 are not supported by Red Hat, while you need IBM
JDK 1.3.1 in order for User Defined Functions to work under DB2.

Does anyone know a solution towards this? Does anyone know of other Linux
distributions with similar problems? On what Linux distributions is DB2
guaranteed to work? Or does anyone have an idea if/when there will be an
update to DB2?

DB2-RH 9 Linux Installation Instructions

1. Intall IBM Java 1.41 (or latest code)

2. Set display
xhost + host_name
export DISPLAY=host_na me:0
3. Set Kernel for DB2 install only

LD_ASSUME_KERNE L=2.2.5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNE L
4. Run ./db2setup

Install DB2 with an instance but DO NOT install tools catalog. You must be
on root id to do install.

5. Reboot and logon as instance owner

6. Update java path (your path may be diffferent depending on which Java you
install):

db2 update dbm cfg using JDK_PATH /opt/IBMJava2-141
db2 update admin cfg using jdk_path /opt/IBMJava2-141

This will point DB2 to the correct JDK for DB2 and Admin Server.

7. You can now install Tools Catalog in you want one.

8. Start First Steps (db2fs) to create sample database.

I'm not sure about RH 9 but IBM Java 1.4.1 is not fully functional under
RH Enterprise 3. Java works ok for the first user logging on at a GUI
terminal but will not function for additional GUI logons. The problem is
so bad that a "java -version" command hangs and never returns.

IBM has new release of 1.41 (1.4.1 SR2 ), so you might want to try that. I
have not had any problems with DB2 version 8 and IBM Java 1.4.1 on RH9 after
using the steps I posted previously. I am using the latest kernel release
available for RH9.

Do you mean the stuff that comes on DISK 9 of RHEL 3? I installed those
and they tended to segfault even for the simplest things.

I then downloaded the stuff below from IBM and it works for simple Java
programs, but I have not actually tried them with DB2 V8.1.5 yet. Over the
years I have gotten used to not using Java with DB2. I had a Blackdown
version that partially worked with DB2 V6.1, but was impossibly slow.

Is that these:
