Advantage of automatic restart

When Db2 and IRLM restart automatically, locks that are held by failed members are released quickly.

Applications that are running on other members can then access data for which the failed member is holding incompatible locks. Consider using automatic restart in conjunction with the RETAINED LOCK TIMEOUT option of installation panel DSNTIPI.

You must install Db2 with a command prefix scope of started to take advantage of automatic restart.
