Install Fixpack 7a and stop Db2fmd

stash

I would like to install fixpack 7a and the instructions say to stop all DB2
processes. I can see the Fault Monitor (db2fmd) running and I (and also my
Unix Administrator) can not seem to stop it. It always just spawns another
process. We have tried the commands db2fmcu -d and db2fm -d - with no
success. These commands error out with some error message that complains
about some env variable. Can someone help?

Hi,

go slap your admins and tell them that something like inittab exists on
their system. During DB2-Installation, the following line is added to
/etc/inittab (example from DB2 UDB Express on Linux):

fmc:2345:respaw n:/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor
Coordinator

so any time your admins kill the process, it is restarted automatically
which causes the effect described.

fmc:2345:off:/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator

and use "init q" to reinitialize the system.

Works on all known Linux Systems and should work similary or equal on
proprietary Unixes.

references: inittab(5)

regards,

Norbert

Fixpack 6b?

by: Todd McNeill | last post by:

Hi- Does anyone know anything about Fixpack 6b for DB2 V8.1 LUW? We were attempting to download the latest 8.1 Windows 32-bit runtime client last week from the IBM site and all of the links were bad. The links currently seem to be fixed, but when we were digging a bit further on the FTP site, we found links for FixPack 6b dated 1/12/2005: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/fixes/english-us/db2winIA32v8/client/admin/

Re-install Development Center

by: Henry Reardon | last post by:

Can someone remind me how to re-install the Development Center? I was playing with the Environment Settings a bit the other day and, ever since, it hasn't worked right. I can create a new Project but that's all I can do; the File and Edit menus are grayed out and I can't seem to find anything that will re-enable them. I upgraded from DB2 (LUW) Version 7.2 to Version 8.2 (FP7) on Friday and applied Fixpack 8 on Saturday. I'm running...

Hi, I have the following version of DB2 installed on a server: FP9a_WR21350_WSE.exe I have 2 client computers with the DB2 Admin version FP9a_WR21350_ADMCL.exe I need to install the DB2 client on a third computer.
