Problem IC66939
|
Status: Closed |
INSTALLFIXPACK MAY NOT INFORM CORRECT ERRORS |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The installFixPack command calls the db2prechk command to do
some pre-checking. However, any error that occurs in db2prechk
is reported as the same in the DB2 installer. For example, if
the instance user's home directory is not mounted, you would get
the following misleading message in the terminal.
"The DB2 installer detects that one or more DB2 instances
"<Instance Name>" are still active. Stop the active instances
and rerun the command again."
The fixpack calls the db2prechk command located in the install
path to check if the instance can be updated. Therefore,
applying the fixpack will update the install path with the new
script and any follow on fixpack installations will show the
correct message when the instance user's home directory is not
mounted or
inaccessible:
DBI1165E Instance <Instance Name> is not accessible on the
following nodes:
<hostname> |

Prior to applying the fix pack, check the prerequisites via the
command, <DB2 Install Path>/instance/db2prechk -i.
This will show you the correct error message if the prerequisite
checking had failed. |
