DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2

CREATE DATABASE or RESTORE DATABASE may fail due to a timeout 
when allocating a lock structure in the CF (Cluster Caching 
Facility).  This only affects 
systems with a large CF (in terms of memory).  The following 
Severe log message will be written to the log:

A workaround is to lower the value for DB2_DATABASE_CF_MEMORY so 
that the size of the lock structure is smaller and can be 
allocated more quickly.  The default value is 100%.  Example: 
 
db2set DB2_DATABASE_CF_MEMORY=75

Problem was first fixed in DB2 UDB Version 9.8 FixPack 5.
