PID : 188630 TID : 258 PROC : db2wdog 0

Setting the effective userid to root failed.

Cause

This problem can occur if the filesystem is mounted with the 'nosuid' option set in the 'etc/filesystems' configuration file. Normally the db2start program is configured to run with the 'suid' as the DBA user.

Resolving The Problem

1. Unset the 'nosuid' option in /etc/filesystems file. (the system admin should be consulted regarding this setting)
2. Remount the filesystem
3. Reissue the db2start command
