We also have been having issues with servers running weblogic and db2
connect.
I have asked the db2 support person to stop running db2fmcd.

We are running db2 connect 9.7 fix pack 1. Does the new variable
 DB2_MIN_IDLE_RESOURCES pertain only to running a db2 database on linux
on z? In our case hipersockets are being used to connect to a db2
database over in zOS. So I didn't know if the new variable would apply
to our servers.

Turn it off with the command and not by editing /etc/inittab.  Otherwise
it may come back when you apply maintenance.

I've seen db2fmcd completely thrash the paging subsystem on
non-virtualized systems, so I almost always turn it off.  To do that,
comment out the line in /etc/inittab that refers to it.
