The instance doesn't disappear - the processes disappear. There's a difference, and that's the difference that I think has confused a number of people ;-)
In short, you managed to get DB2 to crash.
In DB2 v8, there is a new feature called the Fault Monitor which can detect a crash and restart the server for you automatically. This may alleviate (but not eliminate) your problem.
All that said, there are a number of people who would be interested in the PMR number for this problem to see what they can do about getting it fixed even without the Fault Monitor. Received on Tue Sep 16 2003 - 01:07:45 CEST
