APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• If issuing the "db2licm -a" operation using a root-id on a
  Linux IA64 platform, the operation might trap and produce a
  coredump file.
  .
  The stack trace from the coredump file will show a problem in
  the libdb2licm.so.1 library with the following call stack:
  .
  get_linux_node_id ()
  .
  ... or the call stack will show the following stack trace:
  .
  canon_str ()
  get_disk_serial_number ()
  get_linux_node_id ()
  gen_target_from_rom ()
  ifor_create_target_vector ()
  ifor_uuid_gen ()
  netls_create_job_id ()
  LicInitializeNetls ()
  NetlsRequestLicense ()
  LicGetAccessKey ()
  

Local fix

• Create a blank nodelock file in the /opt/ibm/db2/V9.1/license
  directory, and then append the last 4 lines from the license
  file (example db2ese.lic) into the nodelock file.  Then restart
  DB2.
