Stopping DB2 instances (Linux)
You must stop all DB2 instances associated with the DB2 copy you are uninstalling.
Instances associated with other DB2 copies should not be affected by uninstalling
the current copy.
Procedure:
To stop a DB2 instance:
1. Log in as a user with root authority.
2. To obtain a list of the names of all DB2 instances associated with your current
DB2 copy, enter the following command:
DB2DIR/bin/db2ilist
where DB2DIR is the location you specified during the DB2 Version 9
installation. The default installation path for Linux is /opt/ibm/db2/V9.1.
3. Log out.
4. Log back in as the owner of the instance you want to stop.
5. Run the start up script if it is not included in .profile.
. INSTHOME/sqllib/db2profile (bash, Bourne, or Korn shells)
source INSTHOME/sqllib/db2cshrc (C shell)
where INSTHOME is the home directory of the instance.
6. You might want to save the database manager configuration file, db2systm, the
db2nodes.cfg file, or user defined function or fenced stored procedure
applications in INSTHOME/sqllib/function.
7. Stop the DB2 database manager by entering the db2stop force command.
8. Confirm that the instance is stopped by entering the db2 terminate command.
9. Repeat these steps for each instance.
