Removing the Db2 administration server (Linux and UNIX)

If you are removing your last Db2 copy, you must remove the Db2 administration server (DAS) before you remove your Db2 database product.

About this task

Important: The Db2 Administration Server (DAS) has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release. The DAS is not supported in Db2 pureScale® environments. Use software programs that use the Secure Shell protocol for remote administration. For more information, see Db2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated .

If you are removing a Db2 copy, but have other Db2 copies, run the dasupdt command from the Db2 copy that you want to have the Db2 DAS associated with.
