Problem IC95455
|
Status: Closed |
DB2IUPGRADE MAY RETURN MISLEADING "CTRL/.INSTUSE" ERRORS BECAUSE IT CHECKS OTHER UNRELATED INSTANCES |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
When you upgrade a DB2 V.9.7 instance to V.10.1 you might see
error messages related to sqllib/ctrl/.instuse:
E.g.: db2iupgrade -k -u db2inst1 db2inst1
Task #2 start
Description: Initializing instance list
Estimated time 5 second(s)
cat: cannot open /home/db2inst2/sqllib/ctrl/.instuse
cat: cannot open /home/db2inst2/sqllib/ctrl/.instuse
cat: cannot open /home/db2inst2/sqllib/ctrl/.instuse
cat: cannot open /home/db2inst2/sqllib/ctrl/.instuse
Task #2 end
...
Upgrade itself completes successfully, though.
This problem can occur if there are multiple instances created
on this machine, but at the time of upgrading the filesystem of
instance db2inst2 might not available, so that
sqllib/ctrl/.instuse of that other instance is not accessible.
This issue happens because db2iupgrade internally attempts to
access .instuse file of other unrelated instances. |
