1g)  Before installation
1. Switch to root authority by running su - root command.
2. Run the following commands for each instance:
       su - iname
       . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile
       db2 force applications all
       db2 terminate
       db2stop
       db2licd -end      # run at each physical node
       exit

   where iname represents the instance owner name.
3. Run the following commands:
       su - aname
       . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile
       db2admin stop
       exit

   where aname represents the administration server instance name.
4. On AIX, you should also run, as root, slibclean to unload unused
   shared libraries from memory before installing this FixPak:      
   /usr/sbin/slibclean

5. Stop all instances that are using DB2 Version 8, including the Fault
   Monitor if it exists and is using DB2 Version 8.

1g.i)  Data Warehouse functionality on Linux, AIX, and Solaris Operating 
          Environments

If you are running Data Warehouse functionality on Linux, for example
the Data Warehouse Agent that comes with some server products, you will
need to back up your /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/IWH.environment. Basically,
if you have this file, back it up before applying any Version 8 FixPak.

On AIX and Sun, you should back up the same file (for AIX, this file is
found in /usr/opt/db2_08_01/bin/IWH.environment).

1h)  Installing the DB2 FixPak



Restrictions

The following restrictions apply when installing the DB2 FixPak:
*  The DB2 Version 8 FixPak for AIX 4.3.3 can only be applied on AIX
   4.3.3 and the DB2 Version 8 FixPak for AIX 5 can only be applied on
   AIX 5.
*  On AIX, the installFixPak script provides installation prerequisite
   checking that is not provided when you install the FixPak using SMIT
   or installp. Using SMIT is still supported, but installFixPak is the
   only method documented in this readme. For instructions on using
   SMIT, please see your AIX manuals. It is strongly recommended that
   you use the installFixPak script to install this FixPak.
*  On Linux (Intel or S/390), once you have installed the FixPak, you
   cannot uninstall it.



Prerequisites
*  Ensure that you've reviewed your software, hardware, and operating
   system requirements. See the Release Notes for the latest
   information.



Procedure

To install the DB2 Version 8 FixPak:
1. Change to the directory in which the FixPak image is located.
2. Type the ./installFixPak command to launch the installation.

By default, installFixPak will commit all of the updated filesets.

However, on AIX, if you do not wish to commit the updates, you should
issue the installFixPak command with the -a option (for "apply" as
versus "commit") as follows:

   ./installFixPak -a

1i)  After installation

1i.i)  Updating instances to use the new fix level

You need to be logged on as root to update the instances.  For each
instance, issue the command:        

   INSTHOME/instance/db2iupdt iname

 where iname represents the instance name and INSTHOME represents the
install directory appropriate to your operating system.

Run the dasupdt command if the database administration server (DAS)
instance exists and is a DB2 Version 8 DAS instance. To update the DAS
instance, issue the command:   

    INSTHOME/instance/dasupdt dasname 

 where dasname represents the DAS and INSTHOME represents the install
directory appropriate to your operating system.

For more information on the db2iupdt or dasupdt commands, run these
commands with the "-h" option.

1i.ii)  Restart the instances

To restart an instance:
1. Type su <instance_name>.
2. Type the db2start command.

Repeat for each instance.

To restart the administration server, login the DAS owner ID and run the
db2admin start command.

1i.iii)  Re-binding bind files

Due to the new bind (.bnd) files that have been shipped with this
FixPak, you will need to bind your DB2 utilities against all your
databases after the FixPak installation.  This step is necessary for the
fixes in this FixPak to become effective.  The procedure of binding,
which follows, only needs to be performed once per database.

Re-binding to DB2 UDB databases

After applying fixes, you must do the following:

At a command prompt:
       db2 terminate
       db2 CONNECT TO <dbname>
       db2 BIND <path>/@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
       db2 BIND <path>/@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
       db2 terminate
  or,

At the DB2 command line:
       TERMINATE
       CONNECT TO <dbname>
       BIND <path>/@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
       BIND <path>/@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
       TERMINATE

Where <dbname> represents the name of a database to which the utilities
should be bound, and where <path> represents the full path name of the
directory where the bind files are located, such as $HOME/sqllib/bnd
where $HOME represents the home directory of the instance for the
database server.  db2ubind.lst and db2cli.lst contain lists of required
bind files used by DB2 UDB.

Re-binding host databases

If you are connecting to host databases, you will also need to bind the
new bind files to the host.  As above, use the DB2 Command Line
Processor to connect to the host database, and then bind the utilities
as follows:


  HOST    COMMAND
  ======= ===================================================
  MVS     BIND <path>/@ddcsmvs.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE
  VM      BIND <path>/@ddcsvm.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE
  VSE     BIND <path>/@ddcsvse.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE
  OS400   BIND <path>/@ddcs400.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE

See "Binding Applications and Utilities" in the DB2 Connect User's Guide
for a list of bind files that are used for your specific client
operating system.  If a bind file changes and your clients do not use
that bind file, you do not need to bind it.

Re-binding specific packages

If you want to bind only a specific .bnd file to the database, issue the
following commands for each database.

At a command prompt:
       db2 terminate
       db2 CONNECT TO <dbname>
       db2 BIND <path>/<bind_file> BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
       db2 terminate
  or,

At the DB2 command line:
       TERMINATE
       CONNECT TO <dbname>
       BIND <path>/<bind_file> BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
       TERMINATE

where <bind_file> represents the name of the bind file, and <dbname>
represents the name of your database.

Binding database utilities using the Run-Time Client

The Run-Time Client cannot be used to bind the database utilities
(import, export, reorg, the Command Line Processor) and DB2 CLI bind
files. You must use the DB2 Administration Client or the DB2 Application
Development Client instead.

You must bind the database utilities (import, export, reorg, the Command
Line Processor) and DB2 CLI bind files to each database before they can
be used with that database. In a network environment, if you are using
multiple clients that run on different operating systems or are at
different versions or service levels of DB2, you must bind the utilities
once for each operating system and DB2 client-version combination.

Bind db2schem.bnd to existing databases

For FixPak installations on the server, an additional bind file needs to
be bound to existing databases after applying the FixPak. This
requirement does not apply to clients.



Procedure

To bind db2schem.bnd on the server, execute these commands: 

At a command prompt:
        db2 terminate
        db2 CONNECT TO <dbname>
        db2 BIND <path>/db2schem.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
        db2 terminate
  or,
At the DB2 command line:
        TERMINATE
        CONNECT TO <dbname>
        BIND <path>/db2schem.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
        TERMINATE  

where <dbname> represents the name of a database to which the utilities
should be bound, and where <path> is the full path name of the directory
where the bind files are located.

1j)  Known problems and workarounds

DB2 Data Links Manager install
         The DB2 Data Links Manager install will fail when creating the
         dlfm instance if DB2 ESE is already installed on the machine.
         The workaround is to modify the response file and continue or
         to perform a response file installation to install the DB2 Data
         Links Manager. For more information on response files, see the
         Installation and Configuration Supplement or search for
         "response file" in the Information Center.

Loss of Control Center functionality
         Consult the Client/Server Compatibility and Migration
         Considerations whitepaper which is available at: 
         *  http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/pubs/papers/

1k)  Installing the Alternate FixPak

For more information about the Alternate FixPak, see the FixPak Release
Notes.

To install an Alternate FixPak, ensure that:
*  You have root authority.
*  You have a copy of the Alternate FixPak image. The DB2 Alternate
   FixPak can be downloaded from IBM's anonymous FTP server at
   ftp.software.ibm.com. Go to ps/products/db2/fixes/%L/%P/mfp where %L
   represents the appropriate locale (for example, english-us, spanish,
   german), and %P represents the product name/version.

The following restrictions apply:
*  It is only available on DB2 Enterprise Server Edition for UNIX-based
   operating systems.
*  You cannot install a Regular FixPak on top of an Alternate FixPak.
*  There is currently no plan to support full FixPaks on top of an
   Alternate FixPak. Therefore, the Alternate FixPak is not intended for
   use in a production environment.
*  Response file installations of Alternate FixPaks are not supported at
   this time.
*  An Alternate FixPak is always installed to a predetermined path,
   meaning that you cannot select a different path for installation.
*  If you install an Alternate FixPak without an installed copy of DB2
   Version 8, you will need to obtain the license key from the Version 8
   release level media. You can then install the license by using the
   db2licm command.

To install the Alternate FixPak for Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) on
UNIX operating systems:
1. Run the installAltFixPak utility from the directory where you
   untarred the Alternate FixPak image.
2. The install program checks to see if DB2 Version 8 is installed. If
   it detects an existing DB2 Version 8 installation, it will prompt you
   to install the same filesets/packages from the Alternate FixPak.
   *  If the answer is yes, then the installation program proceeds to
      install the same set of filesets/packages as are already
      installed.
   *  If the answer is no, or if DB2 Version 8 was not detected in
      either /usr/opt/db2_08_01 or /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1, then it starts
      db2_install.

Note: No licenses are shipped with the Alternate FixPak - licenses must
      be installed from the Version 8 release level media.
