Upgrading Db2 servers with specific characteristics
There are many factors that can impact the overall upgrade process, and the complexity of your environment is one of these factors.
If you installed multiple Db2 product components, if you are upgrading from a 32-bit Windows operating system to a 64-bit Windows operating system, or if you are upgrading from a partitioned database environment, you must perform upgrade tasks that include steps specific to that environment instead of the basic Db2 server upgrade task.
Determine which of the following upgrade tasks apply to your Db2 server, and perform
those tasks:
- Upgrading Db2 32-bit servers to 64-bit systems (Windows)
- Upgrading non-root installations
- Upgrading a Db2 server with multiple Db2 copies
- Upgrading to a new Db2 server
- Upgrading a Db2 server by using online backups from a previous release
- Upgrading partitioned database environments
- Upgrading a Db2 pureScale server
- Upgrade Db2 High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) environments
- Upgrading Db2 Text Search for administrator or root install
- Upgrading Db2 Text Search for non-root install (Linux and UNIX)
- Upgrading a multi-partition instance without Db2 Text Search
- Upgrading Db2 servers in Microsoft Cluster Server environments
- Upgrading Db2 Spatial Extender version 11.5
