Troubleshooting
Problem
I am trying to run db2icrt and receive a permission error. I have run the db2icrt as an ID with sudo access, and also as user root. Either way the same error DBI1088E occurs.
Cause
This is a permission issue.
Resolving The Problem
The following two actions might resolve the issue:
- While logged in as user root, go to the home directory for the instance and check the mount point of the directory by executing the following command:
Example:
/usr/bin/su db2inst1 -c /bin/pwd
In this example, the instance is named db2inst1. If this command fails you should check the directory mount point of the file system to make sure access permission is not restricted. You can also try giving the ownership and permission's of the mount point to the instance owner.
- If the permissions do not include "r" and "x", unmount the drive, change the permissions, and remount the drive.
Example:
[<code>]
unmount /<directory>
chown <instance_owner> /<directory>
chmod 755 /<directory>
mount /<directory>
