Problem IC70199

Status: Closed |
INSTALLFIXPACK WRITES TO FILES IN THE INSTANCE'S SQLLIB FOLDER REGARDLESS IF THE DIRECTORY EXISTS OR NOT. |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
In certain cases, the home directory of a user does not have
write access. This could be because it is a mount point that was
created by the root user. Thus, installfixpack will fail because
it calls an internal script, db2prechk, which attempts to create
files within the sqllib directory.
You can verify if you have this issue by running the following
command as the instance owner:
<Install Path>/instance/db2prechk -i
====
Example:
$ /opt/IBM/db2/V9.7/instance/db2prechk -i
Cannot create /home/db2inst1/sqllib.
/home/db2inst1/sqllib: Permission denied
touch: /home/db2inst1/sqllib/ctrl/.dbmchk/.host_not_stopped
cannot create
touch: /home/db2inst1/sqllib/ctrl/.dbmchk/.host_not_accessible
cannot create
/opt/IBM/db2/V9.7/instance/db2prechk:
/home/db2inst1/sqllib/ctrl/.dbmchk/.hostlist: cannot create
cat: cannot open /home/db2inst1/sqllib/ctrl/.dbmchk/.hostlist
/opt/IBM/db2/V9.7/instance/db2prechk:
/home/db2inst1/sqllib/ctrl/.dbmchk/.host_not_accessible: cannot
open
/opt/IBM/db2/V9.7/instance/db2prechk: test: argument expected |
