DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC66616 Status: Closed

DB2 ON LINUX: SQLOKADETERMINEKERNELINTEGRITY "INDETERMINABLE
OPERATING SYSTEM" MESSAGE IN DB2DIAG.LOG

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
DB2 on Linux (Redhat or Suse) uses the /etc/issue file during 
db2start to determine the operating system. This file typically 
contains a string like: 
 
"SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)" 
 
Some system admistrators may change the /etc/issue file due to 
security concerns and remove that default string. 
 
db2start will then cause the following message in db2diag.log: 
 
2010-02-18-11.18.17.579021+060 E3493E313           LEVEL: Info

to implement an alternative way to safely determine the 
operating system.
