""ERROR: Could not switch current DB2INSTANCE to "db2inst1". The return code is "-2029059916" ""

can any one post your view plz...

Thanks & Regards

Here is what "db2diag -rc" says to this error message:
Since I didn't understand what exactly you tried and where you got the error, I can't figure out what's going on.

hello,

i uninstalled the previous db2 and tryed to install the db2 udb with linux. In installation of product... when i tryed to create a new instance it showing that db2inst2 insted of db2inst1 as per the ibm for c shell the default instance must be db2inst1 .... when i forcely given the db2inst1 name in the setup.log file it given that error message and in db2iupdt.log.5220 file if given regarding that error as follows:

The error may occur because of the following reasons:
1. This user id does not exist on the system.
2. The home directory of this user is not set up properly.
3. One of the user attributes needed by db2 is unset.
4. The UID of this user is 0.

i tried mannualy also but the same error message is comming...

can u plz now....

What is the output of "db2ilist"? What is the output of "grep db2inst /etc/passwd"? What is the output of "ls -l /home" (assuming that's where your home directories are)?

The "db2inst1" is a suggestion only. You can always change that to whichever user you like. For example, I use "stolze" as default instance on my laptop.

What about the 4 things from the db2iupdt.log? Have you checked those? If so, what were the results?

hello friends,

thanks for all of you..... its working with db2inst1 instance .... problem is with variable present in the profile file.... i removed that and re-installed its working now....

thanks again for all...
