Problem description: | |
After a new installation of DB2 V9.7 or a FixPack is done, the DB2 fault monitor daemon might fail to start automatically. Cause : This problem is specific to Operating Systems like Solaris 10 that allows the user to start processes in specific projects which describe the resources the process is able to use (in /etc/project file). In the case of such Operating System if the user has already specified a project under which db2fmcd process should start (ie. by adding /usr/bin/newtask -p <project> in front of the db2fmcd path in /etc/inittab) then the entire line gets removed from /etc/inittab by a new installation of DB2 software or a DB2 fixpak and a new line that do not contain the newtask command will be added. | |
