Removing the DB2 administration server (Linux)
You must remove the DB2 administration server (DAS) before you remove your
DB2 product. You only need to remove the DB2 DAS if this is the last DB2 Version
9 copy that you’re removing. Otherwise, you should run the dasupdt command
from the DB2 copy that you would like to have the DB2 DAS associated with.
Procedure:
To remove the DB2 administration server:
1. Log in as a user with root authority.
2. Stop the DB2 administration server.
3. Remove the DB2 administration server by entering the following command:
DB2DIR/instance/dasdrop
where DB2DIR is the location you specified during the DB2 Version 9
installation. The default installation path for Linux is /opt/ibm/db2/V9.1.

Removing DB2 instances (Linux)
You can remove some or all of the DB2 instances on your system. Once an instance
is removed, you can use the DB2 databases owned by the instance if you catalog
them under another instance of the same release. Even though you remove the
instance, the databases are still intact and can be reused unless the database files
are expressly deleted.
Remove DB2 instances only if you are not planning to use your DB2 products, or if
you do not want to migrate existing instances to a later version of the DB2
product. Migration requires that both the new and old DB2 versions are still
installed. You cannot migrate an instance if the DB2 copy it is associated with has
been removed.
Procedure:
