|When using db2setup to install a 64-bit AIX DB2 image on an |existing AIX operating system, ensure that you are using compatible AIX |versions or the installation will fail. AIX Version 5 DB2 images cannot |be installed on an existing AIX Version 4 operating system. Similarly, |the installation of a 64-bit AIX Version 4 DB2 image on an existing AIX |Version 5 operating system will also result in an installation error.
|When attempting to install incompatible 64-bit AIX versions, the db2setup |utility finds the version mismatch on a prerequisites check resulting in an |error message such as the following:
|DBI1009E Install media and AIX version mismatch.
|To avoid this error, ensure that you are installing the correct 64-bit AIX |version.
|If you use SMIT, you will receive an error for AIX Version 4 DB2 being |replaced by AIX Version 5 DB2, however, the reverse does not occur. |Therefore, 64-bit AIX Version 5 users should ensure that they are installing |the correct version. If db2setup can be launched, without an error |message, then the checking of AIX version compatibility was successful.
