DB2 Version 10.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Installing a fix pack to update existing DB2 database products (Linux and UNIX)

If a DB2® database product is already installed, follow these instructions to apply a new fix pack level.

Before you begin

Procedure

To install a fix pack:

  1. For root installations, log on as root. For non-root installations, log on with the user ID that owns the non-root installation.
  2. Change to the directory that contains the fix pack image.
  3. Launch the installation by issuing the installFixPack command. For example,
    ./installFixPack -b DB2DIR
    where DB2DIR is the location of the DB2 database products that you want to update.
    In clustered environments where some instances are not mounted, add the -f ha_standby_ignore option. For example,
    ./installFixPack -b DB2DIR -f ha_standby_ignore

What to do next

To complete the installation, perform the necessary post-installation tasks for fix packs. Refer to Post-installation tasks for fix packs (Linux and UNIX).
