Hii

I have a problem, it looks so simple but I couldn't solve it yet.

There is Windows 2000 SP3 Server.

I have installed DB2 V7.2 FP9 on this server.
--I can stop-start DB2 from CLP using db2stop-db2start commands.
--I can stop-start DB2 from Services.

Then, I have uninstalled DB2 V7.2 FP9 and installed DB2 V8.1 FP3.
--I can stop-start DB2 from CLP using db2stop-db2start commands.
--But I cannot stop DB2 from Services although there is no any connection to the instance.

Because of this problem, I cannot setup a clustered DB2 running active/passive mode. I do this by defining a generic service in cluster. It works with DB2 V7.2.9 but not in DB2 V8.1.3. I am sure the problem is related with DB2 stop. Because Cluster Service cannot stop DB2 in order to move to other node.

Does anyone have any idea about this problem?

Thanks..

Are you getting any specific error message? As long as the database is not in use, you should be able to stop the service...

You can type "net stop <service>" from the command window and then you should be able to get a more meaningful error
