DB2 Version 10.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
DB2 Version 10.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
The db2icrt, db2iupdt, db2cluster_prepare commands have new parameters, changes to existing parameters, and deprecation of parameter value format.
In Version 10.1, the -m and -cf parameters in the db2icrt, db2iupdt, and db2cluster_prepare commands indicate the hostname of a member or a cluster caching facility (CF) respectively. The cluster interconnect netname is the hostname of the interconnect used for high speed communication between members and cluster caching facilities. To specify the cluster interconnect netname for members, use the new -mnet parameter. To specify the cluster interconnect netname for CFs, use the new -cfnet parameter.
In previous releases, you could use the -m and -cf parameters to indicate the hostname and the network name using a colon as separator. This format for these parameters is deprecated and might be discontinued in a future release.
If you want to indicate an IPv6 IP address for the hostname, you must indicate the hostname with the -m and -cf parameters, and the network name with the -mnet and -cfnet parameters. Using the old format available in previous releases to indicate both hostname and network name will return an error.
In addition, you can use the instance_shared_mount parameter in Version 10.1 to indicate the directory where you want to mount a newly created DB2® managed clustered file system. If you do not use this parameter, the database manager generates a name.
Start using the new -mnet and -cfnet parameters to indicate the network name before the old format becomes discontinued. Modify any existing scripts and applications to use the new parameters.
Start using the instance_shared_mount parameter to indicate a directory to mount the DB2 managed clustered file system instead of having a system-generated name.
