+I **do** know Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is still not supported by IBM for any Version of SP even after 1.5 years on market.
-**BUT** Do I really install an almost osolete OS like Ubuntu 16.04 for a brand new server? An OS that maybe do not support the newest hardware I've bought? -- I don't think so.

 ==== Finding the solution ====
 The hint leading to the solution i found at a [[https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/anr0236e-io-error-when-attempting-start-database-manager| Support page for "ANR0236E I/O error when attempting to start the database manager"]]. In that case the db2 must be stopped, using a ''db2stop force'' command, which fails on my server:
@@ Line 286: / Line 268: @@
 db2stop: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 </code>
-whoa, there's a library missing to run the db2 properly!
+**whoa, there's a library missing to run the db2 properly!**
+===== Solution =====
+Well, just install the libaio.so.1:
+<code>
+# apt install libaio1
+Reading package lists... Done
+Building dependency tree
+Reading state information... Done
+The following NEW packages will be installed:
+  libaio1
+upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
+</code>
+... and run the ''dsmserv format'' again :-)
