question on un-installing fixpaks

We plan to do a fixpak un-install and re-install up to previous version of fixpak for our database server. On FP10a with DB2 UDB 7.2 with AIX 5.2L, would I need to do a restore after un-installing DB2 and the fixpak?

Thanks
Scott

I don't see it necessary, though I suggest you to take a full offline backup of the database before uninstall

Cheers

Found out that all I needed to do was stop db2

1. uninstall the fixpaks
uninstall db2 binaries
stop db instance
drop instance
2. re-install db2 binaries
3. re-install fixpak
4. re-create instance
5. catalog db to new instance

No restore thankfully was required. Still did take some time to do this however.
