DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Removing the DB2 administration server (Linux and UNIX)

If you are removing your last DB2® copy, you must remove the DB2 administration server (DAS) before you remove your DB2 database product.

About this task

Important: The DB2 Administration Server (DAS) has been deprecated in Version 9.7 and might be removed in a future release. The DAS is not supported in DB2 pureScale® environments. Use software programs that use the Secure Shell protocol for remote administration. For more information, see DB2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated .

If you are removing a DB2 copy, but have other DB2 copies, run the dasupdt command from the DB2 copy that you want to have the DB2 DAS associated with.

Restrictions

This task applies only to DB2 database products that were installed with root user authority.

Procedure

To remove the DAS:

Log in as a user with root user authority.
Stop the DAS. For example:
```
db2admin stop
```
Remove the DAS. Enter the following command:
```
DB2DIR/instance/dasdrop
```
where DB2DIR is the location you specified during the DB2 database product installation. The default installation path for UNIX is /opt/IBM/db2/V10.5. The default installation path for Linux is /opt/ibm/db2/V10.5.
