our application server is devxxxx2 with instance db2v8c1, our db server is devdb2 and I created a new db db1 on devdb2 in new instance db2v8s1. There are other instances on devdb2 server - db2v8i1, db2v8q1, etc.

How do I catalog this new db db1 on the application server if we have 3 other instances on the db server? Catalog db command does not specify where remote instance/server is. Pls help (ask more questions if not enough info)

Catalog the node first.

Andy

there are 4 nodes on devxxxx2 appl server:

devxxxx2: db2 list node directory
Node 1 entry:
Node name = D1DEVDB2
Comment =
Directory entry type = LOCAL
Protocol = TCPIP
Hostname = devdb2
Service name = 60012
Node 2 entry:
Node name = I1DEVDB2
Comment =
Directory entry type = LOCAL
Protocol = TCPIP
Hostname = devdb2
Service name = 50000
Node 3 entry:
Node name = PFDEVDB2
Comment =
Directory entry type = LOCAL
Protocol = TCPIP
Hostname = devdb2
Service name = 50004

Which one should I catalog? Aren't they already cataloged?

You need to catalog this node : db2v8s1. Then catalog the DB at that node.

I got it - 'instance' is 'node' in this case, right?

That would be a correct statement.
