Well... Nothing that makes sense to me actually...

This just says that "db2star2" is invoked with the options
"/home/db2inst/sqllib/adm/db2star2". This looks quite fine as far as it
goes.
Stupid question, maybe: you did update your instange after you applied the
FP? (Or when did you create the instance in the whole process?)

Hmmm.. during the initial install...
Should I perhaps recreate the instance with the fixpak installed?
Is this always needed?
It's not actually in the spirit of updating, is it? :)

Manually recreated the instance, and it works like a charm...
Thanks :)

You don't need to recreate the instance after a fixpak install, you just
need to update it. See the fixpak readme instructions.

No, you just can run the "db2iupdt" command. You'll find it here:
/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/instance/db2iupdt
The reason why you must update the instance is simply that a few files and
executables reside as a _copy_ in the instance's directory. If you install
a new FP, only the system-wide files are updated, and you have to ensure
that the copies pick up any changes as well.

Lol... sorry for the ignorance...
I never updated a DB2 install before...
Most were test databases which never lasted long enough to need an update :)
Thanks for the info people.
