DBI1703E  No valid service name or port number found. 
 
Explanation: 
 
No valid service name or port number for this instance can be 
found in 
the TCP/IP services file. This information is either missing or 
is 
invalid. 
 
If you installed "DB2 Extended Server Edition" product, a 
service name 
must be specified for the instance before using this command. 
 
User response: 
 
Specify valid service name and port number for this instance and 
enter 
this command again. 
 
DBI1079I  Output is saved in the log file 
/tmp/db2icrt.log.1179922. 
 
Explanation: 
 
All processed and failed operations have been saved into this 
log file. 
 
User response: 
 
Do not modify this file in any way. This file is for IBM

Support reference. 
 
./db2icrt: DB2INSTVER: parameter null or not set 
 
db2icrt tries to generate 4 consecutive ports that are not used 
by the system, starting from port 60000. 
db2icrt is doing that by searching /etc/services for the first 
port that is available. 
However, db2icrt will fail if, for example, only 3 ports are 
available and the forth consecutive port is not available. 
In this example the first available port is 60046, an it appears 
ports 60046 through 60049 are available, therefore db2icrt will 
try to use all 4 ports: 
 
This is an example /etc/services that can trigger the error: 
DB2_XXXXXX_2   60044/tcp 
DB2_XXXXXX_END 60045/tcp 
DB2_YYYYY     60050/tcp 
DB2_YYYYY_1   60051/tcp 
... snip ... 
DB2_ZZZZZ_1   60047/tcp 
DB2_ZZZZZ_2   60048/tcp 
DB2_ZZZZZ_END 60049/tcp 
 
However, port 60047 is not really available and db2icrt will 
fail to bind it. In this case, instead of exiting with an error, 
db2icrt should continue testing ports from 60052 and up.

Local Fix:
Sort /etc/services by port number and if there are gaps with 3 
or less consecutive ports available then add dummy entries for 
those ports. db2icrt will continue scanning /etc/services until 
the end of the file.
