The state can be one of the following values: Active, Quiesce pending, Quiesced, or Down. A non-Active state may generate an Attention alert.
The health monitor is unable to execute actions for the db2.db2_op_status health indicator if the indicator enters the down state. This state can arise, for example, when an instance that the indicator is monitoring becomes inactive because of an explicit stop request or an abnormal termination. If you want to have the instance restart automatically after any abnormal termination, you can configure the fault monitor (db2fm) to keep the instance highly available.
