Hello DB2 experts,
I have some questions concerning an upcoming upgrade.
I will have to perform an upgrade on AIX DB6 SAP 4.6B 32bit to a new machine LINUX DB9 ECC 6.0 64bit.
My plan was
1. Install Linux 64bit on new machine
2. Install DB6 64 bit on new machine + Install SAP
3. Move database (32bit to 64 bit) + change active DB
4. Upgrade to DB8.2
5. Upgrade to DB9
6. Upgrade SAP
Questions
-
a) Is this a correct way ? Who has experience in this and maybe can define a better way to go ?
b) Can I simply copy the AIX 32bit DB2 DB to the LINUX 64bit DB2 ?
The best way would be to move the DB6 DB directly under the DB9 DB but apparently this is not support ? Is this correct ?
c) If paths etc stay the same how hard is it do attach the DB to the running installation ?
(system copy guide ?)
I'm counting on your expertise as I am new to AIX/LINUX and DB2.
Thank you guys for your time and response.
Kind Regards
Hans
