Upgrading to DB2® Version 10.1 requires that you upgrade your existing DB2 servers.
Upgrading your DB2 server requires that you install a DB2 Version 10.1 copy and then upgrade all the instances and databases to be able to run them under the DB2 Version 10.1 copy.
You can directly upgrade existing DB2 Version 9.5, DB2 Version 9.7 or DB2 Version 9.8 instances and databases to DB2 Version 10.1. Learn details, limitations about the upgrade process, and possible issues that you must be aware of in Upgrade essentials for DB2 servers. Refer to the upgrading DB2 server tasks for details on how to upgrade to DB2 Version 10.1. In the upgrading DB2 server topics, the term pre-DB2 Version 10.1 copy refers to DB2 Version 9.5, Version 9.7 or Version 9.8.
On Windows operating systems, you have an option to automatically upgrade an existing pre-DB2 Version 10.1 copy. If you choose to upgrade your existing DB2 copy during installation, you only need to upgrade your databases after installation.
If your DB2 servers are running on a release before DB2 Version 9.5, migrate them first to DB2 Version 9.5, and then upgrade to DB2 Version 10.1. It is recommended that you migrate to the latest fix pack of DB2 Version 9.5.
