DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC76150 Status: Closed

The DB2 fault monitor daemon is not started automatically after a new
installation of DB2 V9.7 or a FixPack is done.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
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.
