Hi guys,

I have a DB2 7.1 on AIX. I have a requirement where-in i have to install DB2 8 also on the same machine. I was able to install the DB2 8 and also create a new db2inst8 db2 8.x instance.

I got the following messages when i did the db2icrt.
I could make out just that its referring to the das of db2 7.x version for sure with the /home/db2as directory something....
Any ideas if this is a error or just a warning ..

---------------------------------
# ./db2icrt -a server -u db2fenc8 db2inst8
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /home/db2inst8/sqllib/bin/db2ftok because of the following errors:

0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
'dump -Tv' command.
DBI1070I Program db2icrt completed successfully.
------------------------------------

Also, when i tried to start the new db2 8 instance with db2start.
It gives me a message
------------------------------------
$ db2start
12-11-2003 11:50:11 0 0 SQL1220N The database manager shared memory set cannot be allocated.
SQL1032N No start database manager command was issued. SQLSTATE=57019
------------------------------------
Any ideas where i am going wrong with the installation or if there is any setting which i have missed.

Hi,

I am not sure, but under the 32 bit operating systems there is a memory limit for roughly around 2.5 GB per instance. We have faced the same problems and realised that if we limit the memory usage to approx 1.7 GB then it works fine.

What is suggest is based on your physical memory in the server try to resize your parameters and ensure that the memory is split across all instances.

Please refer to the admin-performance guide that's a great starting point.

Cheers

I searched for db2ftok on the IBM Technical Support site and found a technote which could solve your problem.

Hope this helps.

Copied from that technote:

========================================

The problem here is that the DB2 V8 binary is trying to use the DB2 V7 library.

db2iexec runs db2ftok as the instance owner which gets the environment from the instance owner's .profile and then from the db2profile. As per the db2profile, it will pickup correct migrated path for all binaries and libraries. However, many times a manual update in .profile might create an unwanted problem. In this case the following were entered in .profile:

---------------------------------
LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:/usr/lib:/usr/lpp/db2_07_01/lib
export LIBPATH
---------------------------------

So, in .profile of the instance owner, there should not be any DB2 libpath entry.

Similar problems also might be faced if following are done:

Unwanted DB2 references are manually entered in .profile of root user.
Links to DB2 libraries are created from /usr/lib either accidentally or by some tools.
db2profile is manually updated to make quick fix of path problems.
/lib does not point to /usr/lib

========================================

YES,

This LIBPATH thing changes worked.


Thank you all for your help
