Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 2.1

The information contained in this page outlines Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 2.1 specific information on DB2 UDB V8.2 and V8.1.

 

Validated Platforms

The base kernel level and the base library levels listed here are the default levels provided by the Linux Environment in question. Kernel and library levels that differ from this due to update packages provided by the Linux distributor are also supported.

Platform DB2 Instance Base Kernel Level Libraries Comments
x86 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 2.1 AS/ES/WS 2.4.9 glibc-2.2.4 -Update 5 of RHEL 2.1 is strongly recommended
IA64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 2.1 AS/ES/WS 2.4.18 glibc-2.2.5 -Update 5 of RHEL 2.1 is strongly recommended
-See Errata Information Below

 

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
Some applications fail to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 2.1 AS/ES/WS for IA64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 2.1 AS/ES/WS ships with gcc 2.96 Applications that have been compiled with any other newer gcc libraries such as gcc 3.2 may not run if older gcc library is installed. Try upgrading the gcc library on your system (contact Red Hat if needed to ensure it does not affect your support contract if one is in place) or, alternatively, recompile your application with the older gcc level.
