Duplicate records similar to following could be observed in /etc/services /etc/services shows duplicate ports : comm_serv1 5616/tcp DB2_db2inst1 5617/tcp DB2_db2inst1_1 5618/tcp DB2_db2inst1_2 5619/tcp DB2_inst1_END 5620/tcp comm_serv2 5616/tcp DB2_db2inst2 5617/tcp DB2_db2inst2_1 5618/tcp DB2_db2inst2_2 5619/tcp DB2_db2inst2_END 5620/tcp /etc/services verification is not new to DB2, but it was changed in a significant way in 10.1 . In 9.5 and 9.7 these checks exist for new instance creation (not for upgrades), and are only performed if GUI is used or silent installation method is used. Neither command line installation, nor upgrades, would perform this environmental validation in 9.5 and 9.7. In 10.1, due to a number of serious customer issues where incorrect service names and/or ports lead to other issues and difficult to diagnose problems for different customers production environments, these checks were made to common one and now it affects both instance upgrade and new instance creation. After close review it's decided that shared /etc/services file with duplicates is a valid and useful architecture for an LPAR'd environment. So, this defect is created to fix the issue as needed to get migrations to 10.1 succeed without failure due to duplicate records. | |
