DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC89202 Status: Closed

ADDING A MEMBER/CF USING DB2IUPDT -ADD MAY GENERATE AN ERROR IN THE
DB2IUPDT LOG

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
When adding a member/CF using the command "db2iupdt -add" in a 
DB2 pureScale environment, you may observe an error "ERROR: An 
error occurred while configuring the instance" in the db2iupdt 
log closing to the end of the installation. 
 
For example, below are the messages extracted from the db2iupdt 
log: 
 
<db2iupdt log> 
.... 
 
ERROR: An error occurred while configuring the instance 
"db2inst1". 
 
The shared file system cluster has been setup properly for DB2 
usage. 
Configuring DB2 instances :.......Failure 
Updating global profile registry :.......Success 
 
Post Install Recommendations 
----------------------------- 
 
Required steps: 
There were some errors detected during DB2 installation. To 
collect the information files from the system, run the 
"db2support -install" command with the proper options before 
reporting the problem to IBM service. For information regarding 
the usage of the db2support tool, check the DB2 Information 
Center. 
 
... 
</db2iupdt log> 
 
The error occurs because DB2 installer was attempting to update 
the dbm cfg parameter SVCENAME using an empty string value. The 
issue has been seen occurring when 
1) a pureScale instance was manually created and then the dbm 
cfg parameter SVCENAME was manually set to a port number rather 
than a service name, and 
2) there was no mapping in the /etc/services from the port 
number to a service name when db2iupdt -add was run. 
 
Although the error was reported in the db2iupdt log, it can be 
ignored as the member/CF should have already been successfully 
added and the functionality of the instance won't be affected.

Local Fix:
To avoid the error: 
1) update the dbm cfg SVCENAME to use a service name, instead of 
the port number before running db2iupdt -add 
2) Or alternatively, adding a mapping from the port number to a 
service name in /etc/service  before running db2iupdt -add.
