Starting the database

You can start the database on the library server using the ARSDB program.

Procedure

To update the command, enter: opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.5/bin/arsdb -gv >> /tmp/arsdb.log 2>&1

Alternatively, you can start Db2® manually with the db2start command.

The following example shows an INIT record to automatically start the database when the operating system is initialized on the library server:

ars2:2:wait:/opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.5/bin/arsdb -gv >> /tmp/arsdb.log 2>&1

Important: If the Db2 installation program adds a record to the INIT facility to automatically start the Db2 services, make sure that you place the ARSDB record after the record that starts the Db2 services.
