DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Supported instance management functions in a thin server instance environment

As of DB2® Version 10.5 release, instance management functions are enabled for non-root instances in a thin server instance environment.

The following instance commands are supported in a thin server instance environment. They are not supported for an instance that is automatically created during a non-root DB2 installation on the code server.

db2icrt
db2idrop
db2iupdt
db2iupgrade
db2ilist

Note: The non-root commands such as db2rspgn, db2val, db2iprune, and db2_deinstall can be used only on the code server. They are not supported for an instance that is created locally on the remote server.
