Error in creating SAMPLE database in DB2 express in mac os mavericks

Question

I have performed the steps given here(How do I install db2 Express-C 10.1 on OSX Mavericks) to install the db2 in mac os(mavericks), but when I come to step number 13. i.e. to create a sample database it says:

bash-3.2$ db2sampl

Starting the DB2 instance... Creating database "SAMPLE"... Attempt to create the database "SAMPLE" failed. SQL1032N No start database manager command was issued. SQLSTATE=57019

'db2sampl' processing complete.

Can somebody help me regarding this.

Thank you.

Answer 1

It seems you need to start the instance:

db2start

However, that is weird, and you should see the db2diag.log file that can be found at:

/Users/YOURUSERNAME/sqllib/db2dump

Take a look at that file, and put the error messages (not all) here.
