Known Issues and Limitations

This section summarizes some of the issues that were encountered during the DB2 UDB V8.1 validation process and lists any possible solutions.

Please note that some of the workarounds or solutions provided below might require that the DB2 UDB installation be upgraded to a recent fixpack. In order to upgrade to a fixpack, you must have the base DB2 UDB GA version installed before installing the fixpack. It is sufficient to install the fixpack you require; there is no need to install previous fixpacks to the one you need. i.e. if you need FP4, you do not need to install FP1, FP2, FP3 before installing FP4. You do, however, need to install DB2 UDB V8.1.0 (GA). DB2 UDB fixpacks can be obtained from http://www.ibm.com/db2/.

Symptoms Problem Recommended Solution
Kernel reports max number of open files limit has been hit This problem has been seen in Red Flag Environments. The file-max file in the /proc/sys/fs directory holds the limit for the number of open files on the system. Sometimes, this number is reached even when it is already pretty high (65536) Change the value in the file-max value in the /proc/sys/fs directory to a higher number that can still be handled by your system.
