When you migrate from a Version 5.x database system to a DB2 Enterprise - Extended Edition Version 6 database system, depending on the installation option you choose, the setup program will migrate all instances to the Version 6 multipartition or single-partition format. If you are migrating a database with populated tables, refer to the Administration Guide for descriptions of how to add database partition servers to a system and redistribute data across database partitions.
After you install DB2 Enterprise - Extended Edition, any databases that you
created with earlier versions of DB2 will not automatically work with the new
version of DB2. You must follow the steps in this section to migrate
your instances and then to move data from the previous database system to the
new one. Although your data is not changed during the process, the
database is different from the original one. The differences depend on
the type of database system from which you are migrating.
