I installed the last fixpack of DB2 Udb Ese 64-bit (FP17_MI00252.tar) but I can not update the instance with command:
/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/instance/db2iupdt db2inst1

"
In fact this is the error:
DBI1250E Applications are still using instance
db2inst1.

Explanation:
There are applications that are still running that are using the
specified instance. All applications using this instance must be
terminated before the command can be completed successfully. You
can get a list of the applications that are currently using the
instance by issuing the command:

db2 list applications

User Response:
You can either wait for the applications to end by themselves, or
you can explicitly force the applications to end. You can logon
as the instance owner and run the command

db2 force application all

Note that some applications may have unexpected behaviour when
terminated using the above command. After all the applications
have stopped, stop the database manager using "db2istop"
command.

DBI1122E Instance db2inst1 cannot be updated.
"

but I don't have any DB2 processes and I follow the readme of the FIXPACK, that is:

as db2inst1:

db2
db2stop
update dbm cfg using sysadm_group db2grp1
db2start
force applications all
db2stop force
terminate
db2licd -end
exit
db2_kill

as dasusr1:
db2admin stop

as root:
db2fmcu -d
db2fm -D
$HOME/sqllib/bin/ipclean
ipclean
slibclean
ipcrm

fixpack:
./installFixPak -y

The installation was ok but I can't understand why I have that problem...

Best regards.
Fabio

Did you runor alternatively try doing

Thank you Peter for the answer, but I also did it. In fact there isn't DB2 process:

I don't understand what, which and where there is a cause of the impossibility to use the db2iupdt command..

Seems like your system is not in intensive use.
Did you consider a reboot?

I already did it, without startup scripts.. :-(

looks like this is on Linux. you may try creating the following link and then update the instance:

ln -s /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/lib/libdb2gcf.so /usr/lib/libdb2gcf.so
