Hi,

I need to run an old DB2 V8-Database on Power7. Our Oracle-Team told me
they needed special patches to run their O 11 on Power7. Am I going to
face such difficulties with DB2 V8? I know, migrating to 9.7 would be
best but this is currently no option on this specific database.

By the way: How about 9.5 on Power7?

Google didn´t help this time. ;-)

cu,

Norbert

Hi Norbert,

DB2 version 8.1 and 8.2 are out of support. We will not provide any official
patches, if you run into problems using DB2 8.x on Power7.

It will either run or it won't.

Everything >= 9.1 is supported on Power7 at a specific FP level:

9.1 FP9
9.5 FP6
9.7 FP2

Hope this helps.

Knowing that, anyone else out there having tried running V8 on Power7?

It did. In a way. ;-)
