I've got an instance of DB2 installed as part of an IBM WebSphere Portal development AMI on the Amazon EC2 cloud. Its installed a separate, persistent file system from the rest of the AMI.

Yesterday, the AMI was terminated, and DB2 went down as part of that. It was not shut down cleanly, just terminated.

Today, I am trying to restart the WebSphere portal server, which needs to connect to the DB2 instance. But the DB2 instance is down.

So I need to restart my DB2 instance, but how to do that is not immediately obvious. Can someone tell me what I need to run to get it going again?

OS is SuSE Linux, DB2 version is 9.1
