Autostart DB2 v9 on Linux

[Roger Eriksson]

I want to thank all of you that have answered my earlier questions, thanks.

New problems though. The database doesn't start with the operating system
and I can't find out how it does that on the other server. Can't find
anything in the rc-files that seems to apply so I figure that there's some
kind of magic involved ;-)

The second question is why I have to re-apply the licence every time I
restart the dbm? Shouldn't it be enough to do a db2licm -a *.lic once?
The operating system is Fedora* core 6 with DB2 9 WSE.

*) I really wanted Red Hat 4 AS but since Red Hat Sweden after two weeks
still can't give me an answer about the Academic Edition (that we already
have two of btw) I just couldn't wait any longer.

Have you tried db2iauto ? According to the manual :
db2iauto - Auto-start Instance Command
Enables or disables the auto-start of an instance after each system
restart. This command is available on UNIX-based systems only.
check the syntax here
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce.../v8//index.jsp , search
for "db2iauto"
and answer on your second question , no license is applied once ....

Thank you. That did the trick.

That's what I thought. Unfortunatelly if I run db2stop and then db2start
it will tell me that there's no valid license:

[db2inst1@norrbo ~]$ db2stop
SQL1064N DB2STOP processing was successful.

[db2inst1@norrbo ~]$ db2start
ADM12026W The DB2 server has detected that a valid license for this

SQL1063N DB2START processing was successful.

[db2inst1@norrbo license]$ db2licm -a db2wse.lic

And so on...

Every other version I've installed before have worked just fine. Why is
this one giving me all these problems? Oh well..

Because the licensing for v9 has changed dramatically. With your WSE CD,
you should also have received a license CD to go along with it. There will
be a db2/license directory there with the license to install to convert
your install into a permanent license. I can't tell you the name of it
because there is more than one permanent license for WSE.

[Roger Eriksson]

I just wanted to thank you all for the your help.

All my troubles that I've encountered this far solved themselves when I
threw out Fedora core 6 and installed Red Hat AS 4 instead.

I realised that I could move the RH license from the old DB-server to the
new one which solved the problem with the updates to the OS.

I might be back in the future though, with new questions ;-)
