    64 bit SO + 32 bit Media + Db2 V8

    Guys,

    For several reasons, I have a RedHat Linux AS4 64 bits SO, with a DB2
    v8 FP15 installed with a 32 bit media (CDROM).

    I do have access to 64 bit DB2 media, and need to migrate this
    instance to 64.

    What is quickest way to do that ? I think i need to uncatalog all DBs,
    uninstall DB2 v32, install DB2 64 media, install FixPak 15 64bits
    then catalog all DBs again.

    Will this work ? Or is there any other better way to achieve the same
    goal ?

    Thanks, Michel

      That's interesting... normally, the 32-bit media would prevent you from
      installing on a 64-bit operating system.  (But you could install the 64-bit
      DB2 on a 64-bit operating system, and then create/use a 32-bit instance...
      which would make all this much simpler.)

      I did not know that.

      I really want to make sure that DB2 prevented a 32 bit media
      installation, and confirm that I do have 64 bit media installed.

      For testing purposes, I should be able to create a new 64 bit instance
      on this machine, right ? I have tried to do that but got into the
      following problem:

      ./db2icrt -d -a SERVER -s wse -u db264 -w 64 db264

      (...)
      + echo '## call function updt_dbmcfg'
      + tee -a /tmp/db2icrt.log.306 08
      ## call function updt_dbmcfg
      + set -x
      + rc=1
      + rm -f /tmp/db2icrt.tmp1.30 608
      + /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/instance/db2iexec db264 '/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/
      instance/db2idbm db264 /home/db264 db264 3 SERVER /tmp/
      db2icrt.tmp1.30 608'

      (... hang ...) -- I have to press ctrl-c.

      Is there any other way to confirm a 64 bit media installation ?

      Thanks, Michel

          The easiest way is to look in the DB2DIR directory - are there "bin64"
          and "lib64" (and other *64) directories? Then you have 32- and 64-bit.

          Or this. You have 64-bit installed. If you didn't, you'd get a nice little
          message telling you that you don't have 64-bit support installed.
          (...)
          + echo '## call function updt_dbmcfg'
          + tee -a /tmp/db2icrt.log.306 08
          ## call function updt_dbmcfg
          + set -x
          + rc=1
          + rm -f /tmp/db2icrt.tmp1.30 608
          + /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/instance/db2iexec db264 '/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/
          instance/db2idbm db264 /home/db264 db264 3 SERVER /tmp/

          Well, now, this is a different problem. You should open a PMR with IBM on
          this.
          Is there any other way to confirm a 64 bit media installation ?
          Many, but they'll all get the same answer: you have it ;-)
