This is not really a problem since the Control Center and Admin tools
running on x86 can connect to DB2 LUW running on other platforms,
including Linux on System z.

I’m upgrading our db2connect 8 to 9 and came across this tidbit.
*Note:* In previous releases, the DB2 Administration Tools, such as
the Control Center, were supported on all platforms. As of Version 9,
the DB2 Administration Tools are supported only on Windows^® x86,
Windows x64 (AMD64/EM64T), Linux™ on x86, and Linux on AMD64/EM64T.
For all platforms, you can use the DB2 command line processor (CLP) to
administer instances and databases.

Huh? No zLinux. This is not exactly helping the rush to zLinux mainframe.
We’ve been using zLinux DB2 since 2004 and I use it these tools all
the time. And yes, I know it’s /*GUI*/ - so shoot me.
