Error description

  • DB2 does not distinguish between Solaris x64 Fixpacks and
    Solaris SPARC Fixpacks. However, Solaris x64 Fixpacks should not
    be installed on Solaris SPARC and Solaris SPARC Fixpacks should
    not be installed on Solaris x64.
    
    If a Solaris fixpack that is incorrect for the platform
    architecture is installed, the following messages will be
    observed in the install log:
    /var/sadm/pkg/db2cliv81/install/postinstall:
    /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/db2greg: cannot execute
    /var/sadm/pkg/db2engn81/install/postinstall:
    /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/db2fmcu: cannot execute Additionally,
    executables with the wrong ELF class might be found in
    $DB2_ROOT/bin or $DB2_ROOT/lib. E.g. On Solaris SPARC, the
    command "file " should output: "ELF 64-bit ... SPARCV9 ..."; or
    "ELF 32-bit ... SPARCV9 ..." Whilst on Solaris x64, the command
    "file " should output: "ELF 32-bit ... 80386 ..."; or "ELF
    64-bit ... 80386 ..."
    
    
    DB2 does not distinguish between Solaris x64 Fixpacks and
    Solaris SPARC Fixpacks. However, Solaris x64 Fixpacks should not
    be installed on Solaris SPARC and Solaris SPARC Fixpacks should
    not be installed on Solaris x64.
    

Local fix

  • Ensure that the Solaris Fixpack appropriate for the platform
    architecture is downloaded and installed.
    
     Uninstall the fixpack using backoutallpatch.
