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. | |
