Creating an instance
ƒ Windows (as Admin)
db2icrt myinst

ƒ Linux (as root)

/home/db2inst1/instance> ./db2icrt -u db2fenc2 db2inst2

ƒ db2fenc2 and db2inst2 must exist before hand.

To create an instance using the GUI:

ƒ /home/db2inst1/instance>./db2isetup
ƒ In this case, the user IDs are created for you.
ƒ Note if you run as non-root, you can only see the current configuration of
existing instances.

Note: Running from db2inst1 home directory, which has soft links to
/opt/ibm/db2/V9.5 (from which the same commands could be run)

Switching instances

ƒ Windows (as Admin)

set DB2INSTANCE=<instance_name>

ƒ Linux
su – <instance name>
An instance maps to a Linux user
The db2profile file is normally added to the .profile or .login files when the
instance was created.
ƒ The db2profile file has a line for DB2INSTANCE=<instance name>

11

Reviewing instance information

ƒ List all instances on the server:

db2ilist

ƒ Showing the current instance:

db2 get instance

12

Starting and stopping instance

ƒ db2start

ƒ db2stop [force]

13
IBM Software Group | DB2 Information Management Software

Dropping an instance
ƒ Windows (as local Admin)
db2stop
db2idrop myinst

ƒ Linux
db2stop (as the instance owner, eg: db2inst1)
/opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/instance> ./db2idrop db2inst1 (as root)
