DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2

db2cluster -create -filesystem command may not create a new 
cluster filesystem due to an error like as below: 
 
# db2cluster -create -filesystem data1 -disk /dev/hdisk12 -mount 
/db2/data1 
There was an internal db2cluster error. Refer to the diagnostic 
logs (db2diag.log or 
/tmp/ibm.db2.cluster.*) and the DB2 Information Center for 
details.

This error occurs if ODMDIR environment setting is not 
propagated to GPFS command. The fix have the forked process that 
executes GPFS command to inherit the caller enviroment instead 
of overwrite it.
