In version 8.2 ESE we used alternate fixpacks to allow multiple fixpack
levels for different instances, and to allow an instance to be deprecated
back to the previous fixpack (with certain limitations).
In looking at V9.5 install procedures there are no alternate fixpacks. There
is only a db2_install and a installFixPack script (not counting the db2setup
GUI program).
It looks to me like the installFixPack script is used to update (overlay) an
existing install (not add a separate set of binaries like an alternate
fixpack in 8.2) and that db2_install using a new directory should be used to
emulate the functionality of the an alternate fixpack in V8.2.
Is this interpretation correct?

You can install more than one instance of DB2 9.1 or 9.5. Then you can
fixpack some of them (or install new DB2 9.5 instance by db2_install
script - fixpack for DB2 9.x is now full installer).

I am quite aware that in V9+ the fixpack code can be installed without any
previous GA code, but you didn't answer the question. Maybe you are not
familiar with alternate fixpacks in version 8.2.
Also, there is no such thing as installing an instance. You install the code
or a fixpack, and then create or update an instance.

Does installing in a new path using db2_install not work? There should
be no need for alternate fixpacks as there can be many parallel
installations.
If you want to apply a fixpack, you have to chose the path to apply
the fixpack to (using -b or -p to ./installfixpack) , so that DB2 know
which installation to update.
By the way, DB2 V9.1 didn't need a GA to install a fixpack, but when I
looked at the DB2 V9.5 FP 2 installation requirements, they did
require a DB2 V9.5 GA.

Mark,
You install the fixpack into a new location. For example, you have
/opt/IBM/db2/v9.5 with GA code, and you can install FP2 into
/opt/IBM/db2/V9.5_fp2.
Then, just use /opt/IBM/db2/V9.5_fp2/instance/db2iupdt to switch
your instance over to the FP2 code.
To switch back, use /opt/IBM/db2/V9.5/instance/db2iupdt. (And,
presumably, restore your database to the pre-FP2 image).

Actually, 9.5 FP2 does not need 9.5 GA (or any previous code). That is an
error (or at least a very poorly worded) install instructions.

Yes I have figured that out now. But to do that one must use the db2_install
script, and not the installFixPack script. That is not clear from the
instructions, but I figured it out by trial and error. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hallo!
I have the following situation:
DB2 V6.1 OS/390 and DB2 V6.1 auf AIX 4.3.3 running the database servers.
A windows NT machine with db2 V7.1.040 FP3 (WR21254) client.
Now I have a JDBC application which crashes when it tries to find out
the primary keys of a table on the AIX db server using getPrimaryKeys on
tables with primary keys (it don't crash with tables without primary keys!).

Hi Folks,
We are going to start a grand new project, which is DB2v7 FP10a
sitting on AIX4.3.3 on M80 server. Here is my question,
1) According to Fixpack installation guide, I have to install
Fixpack1(Pre-request of Fixpack 3 installation), Fixpack 3(Pre-request
of Fixpack 10a) in order to successful install Fixpack 10a.Question is
do I have to follow this sequence or there is a way jump to fixpack
10a.

I was reading the FixPackReadme.txt file in preparation for installing v8.1
Alternate FP7. The prerequisites section says that all DB2 processes must be
stopped and doesn't differentiate between regular an alternate fixpacks. I
was hoping the alternate fixpack would help to avoid downtime. Do you really
need to stop all DB2 process for alternate fixpack installations?

Trying to upgrade alternate FP9 to alternate FP9a on Red Hat Linux. After
running the following command:
../installAltFixPak -y
it says it was successful, but no new directory is created in /opt/IBM/db2
Assuming that maybe fixpack 9a updates the existing /opt/IBM/db2/V8.FP9
directory, I ran db2iupdt on the instance (using root), but db2level still
shows the signature for fixpack 9 (not 9a). "DB2 v8.1.0.88", "s050422"
