Failover problems

2 servers with solaris,veritas cluster and DB2 UDB ESE v8.1 with
fixp10. ON the primary db2 server did I create 2 db2 instances and the
admin instance. It is possible to start both db2 instances and the db2
admin server on the primary server but ...failover works only for the 2
db2 instances and not for the admin server.. Manually ,db2admin start ,
fails with
SQL4404N The DB2 Administration Server does not exist.
Explanation:
The DB2 Administration Server was not found on the machine

Is it something special you have to do with DB2 UDB ESE to get failover
working ? I have done this many times but only with DB2 UDB WSE...
my hair is turning grey because of this so if anyone has some ideas pls
let me know.

The DAS instance should not need to be an HA resource. You can just set
up an identical DAS instance on your standby server (which is always
running), and you should be fine.

Ian... maybe I was a bit unclear but my configuration is not with a
standby server ! so it's impossible to have more than one DAS instance
because the home dir is switched between the servers ....

This is obviously a shared disk setup, and not HADR.

Why not create the DAS on a userid which has a home directory on the
local drives, not the shared disk. Then just create a DAS on each
server.

The DAS (and the resources it depends on, i.e. the DAS instance owner's
home directory) should NOT be set up to failover between the two
servers. The DAS owner's home directory should be local (and unique) to
each server.

we have a similar setup in windows 2k3 environment, where the DAS is
local at each participating node, and the user instances are shared.

Is it possible to failover a single or a selected number of databases onto a standby server? We're currently log shipping about 12 databases to a standby and I was wondering if it was possible to randomly failover onto selected dbs. My understanding of log shipping is that when the primary server goes down, the standby takes over. But, does that mean that all of the db's on the standby server now become the primary? Or, can failover...
