>However, I found that after a reboot, the DB2 instance was not being
restarted automatically, so clients could not connect to the database. To
correct this problem, execute this command as the instance owner:

This will ensure that the DB2 instance is initialized and ready to receive
incoming connections after a reboot (intentional or otherwise).</P
><P
>Also, to allow DB2 access through the iptables-based firewall (which
is enabled by default), it was necessary to modify the iptables firewall
ruleset, which is kept in the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>/etc/sysconfig/iptables</TT
>
file. If you have enabled your firewall (using the
<B
CLASS="command"
>iptables</B
> service), and you want to enable external
connectivity to your DB2 server, you must open up TCP and UDP access to
ports 523 and TCP access to any DB2 service ports. To make this work, add
these rules to the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>iptables</TT
>file (anywhere amongst the
<B
CLASS="command"
>-j ACCEPT</B
> rules):

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 50000 -j ACCEPT</PRE
></FONT
></TD
></TR
></TABLE
>
These rules were added directly to the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>iptables</TT
> file to
ensure that they persist in case of a system reboot. Note that you will need
to add another new TCP rule to allow firewall access if you create any
additional instances later.
</P
><P
>You can use <B
CLASS="command"
>db2 get dbm cfg | grep SVCENAME</B
> to retrieve
the service names and then check the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>/etc/services</TT
> for
the equivalent port values to open on your firewall.</P
