Hi All,

ENV: DB2 UDB v8.2 FP 7, AIX 5.2 (both the servers)

I have to migrate the database from our old prod to the new prod server.
I have installed the DB2 software , applied the fixpaks on the new prod server. But before creating the instance i copied the /etc/services from old to the new one. I then used this command to create the instance

db2icrt -s ESE -p DB2_prod2 -w 32 -u prodf2 prod2

Though the instance is created successfully but I get this error:

An error occurred while updating the services file on the system for the service
name "DB2_prod2" with port "60000"

This this how the new prod server's services file look like:

DB2_prod2 60000/tcp
DB2_prod2_1 60001/tcp
DB2_prod2_3 60002/tcp
DB2_prod2_END 60003/tcp

DO I need to be worried and recreate this instance with some different setting? Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks
Anks

just check db2 get dbm cfg |grep SVCE
check that svcename is pointing to correct entry in /etc/services with expected port number and start db2 (db2start) if binding with tcpip fails, this will be indicated at start of db2.
otherwise db2 update dbm cfg using svcename xxxx
