DB2 instance won’t start and db2 fault monitor

A DB2 instance wouldn’t start at boot time. I checked db2set and it was AUTOSTART=YES.

After some investigation I discovered the missing fmc section from inittab.

The fmc refers to the Fault Monitor Coordinator

I resolved the problem by executing :

/opt/IBM/db2/V9.5/bin/db2fmcu -u -p /opt/IBM/db2/V9.5/bin/db2fmcd

I checked inittab and these line were added.

# Run xdm in runlevel 5
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
fmc:2345:respawn:/opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator

Upon reboot the instance restarted .
