He have an AIX box with Version 4.3.3 and DB2 V7.2 FP6.
We need to upgrade the AIX to 5.1.
Does DB2 need to be reinstalled. Are there DB2 installation images
specifically for AIX 5.1.
Any help will be much appreciated.
You don't _need_ to reinstall (DB2 for AIX 4.3 does run on AIX 5), but
I would recommend doing it, if you can.
Why recommend that?
You say implicit that there's a differance in behaviour when you don't
reinstall db2 on a newer aix version?
Nevermind, I take this back. For DB2 v7.2, there is no separate AIX5
build. That is only in V8.
Regardless, I believe that the AIX 5 build of DB2 takes advantage of
the new features provided by AIX 5. If you run the old code, you don't
get access to these. Unfortunately, I'm not one of the developers, so I
can't speak to what features you may or may not have access to.
