DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Stopping root DB2 instances (Linux and UNIX)

You must stop all DB2® instances associated with the DB2 copy you are uninstalling. Instances associated with other DB2 copies might not be affected by uninstalling the current copy.

About this task

Note: This task applies to DB2 database products that were installed with root user authority. To stop DB2 instances that were installed as a non-root user, see Stopping non-root instances (Linux and UNIX)

Procedure

To stop a DB2 instance:

Log in as a user with root user authority.
Obtain a list of the names of all DB2 instances associated with your current DB2 copy by entering the following command:
```
DB2DIR/bin/db2ilist
```
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.

Run the script if it is not included in .profile.

. INSTHOME/sqllib/db2profile       (bash, Bourne, or Korn shells)
source INSTHOME/sqllib/db2cshrc    (C shell)

where INSTHOME is the home directory of the instance.

It is recommended that you save the following files:
- The database manager configuration file, $HOME/sqllib/db2systm
- The node configuration file, $HOME/sqllib/db2nodes.cfg
- User defined functions or fenced stored procedure applications in $HOME/sqllib/function
Stop the DB2 database manager by entering the db2stop force command.
Confirm that the instance is stopped by entering the db2 terminate command.
Repeat these steps for each instance.
