I just attempted to install DB2 ESE 9.7 on a Linux machine

I ran ./db2setup and choose the typical options, and then let it run, below is my selections summary:

Response file name:                        /root/db2ese.rsp

When I came back to my screen, the install GUI was not there, and I did not have a complete installation. I could not log into db2inst1.

I could log into dasusr1, I logged in, the das subdirectory was there, but the db2admin was not started

Below is my response file:

Code:

What should I do to fix this.

Should I delete all files from the /opt/ibm/db2 and install again ?

Thanks

Check db2setup.log, db2setup.err files ( db2setup_username.log for non-root installation ) in /tmp directory for setup log and errors.

Satya..

The /tmp/db2setup.log contained the following:

Quote:

DB2 Setup log file started at: Thu 14 Jul 2011 03:46:43 PM EDT EDT
================================================== ==========

Operating system information: Linux 2.6.18-238.el5.#1 SMP Sun Dec 19 14:22:44 EST 2010 x86_64

DB2 Setup log file finished at: Thu 14 Jul 2011 04:49:26 PM EDT EDT
================================================== ==========

The /tmp/setup.err existed, but did not contain any data

I looked for the db2_deinstall, and found the following:

Quote:

[root@HX20-12 /]# cd /
[root@HX20-12 /]# find . -name db2_deinst*
./opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/install/db2_deinstall_exec
./opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/install/db2_deinstall
./tmp/db2/ese/db2/linuxamd64/install/db2_deinstall
./tmp/db2/ese/db2_deinstall

How should I proceed at this point.

1> Should I deinstall

2> Which one of those deinstall commands should I use

3> Should I skip deinstall and just delete /opt/ibm/db2 ????

Thanks

What happens when you try to login as db2inst1? Can you "su - db2inst1" from root? If this is successful, try to start the instance.

Try the following commands: db2ls, db2ilist

You can also try creating a new instance using db2icrt.
