There are some tricks involved in getting db2 to start the database on a server 
with a different hostname, but in essence this should not be a problem. DB2 is 
supported on HACMP.

I've developed (but not tested yet) a setup for a manual fail-over of TSM 6.1 
using LVM mirroring of the database and logs across two sites.

A hint is to look at commands like 'db2 catalog' and look into files as 
'db2nodes.cfg'.

I think that the db2 database is more robust, and less likely to be corrupted 
after a crash than the old tsm 5 database.
