  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * See error description.                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Apply fixing level when available. This problem is currently *
  * projected to be fixed in level 7.1.3. Note that this is      *
  * subject to change at the discretion of IBM.                  *
  *                                                              *
  * After applying the fixing level.  Use the following          *
  * instructions to change the DB2 temporary directory during    *
  * the installation on AIX, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris.           *
  *                                                              *
  * Using a non-default DB2 temporary directory                  *
  *                                                              *
  * The Tivoli Storage Manager installer uses the /tmp directory *
  * as the default temporary location to extract the DB2 package *
  * and run the DB2 installer.  The DB2 installer program also   *
  * uses the /tmp directory as part of the installation process. *
  * You can override Tivoli Storage Manager temporary location   *
  * as follows:                                                  *
  *                                                              *
  * 1.  Install the IBM Installation Manager, if it is not       *
  * already installed.                                           *
  *                                                              *
  * 2.  Add the following line to the                            *
  * /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/IBMIM.ini file:         *
  *                                                              *
  * -DDB2TMPDIR=/new_db2_tmp_location                            *
  *                                                              *
  * 3. Set the DB2TMPDIR environment variable to point at the    *
  * new temporary directory:                                     *
  *                                                              *
  * export DB2TMPDIR=/db2home/db2inst1/tmp                       *
  *                                                              *
  * 4.  Ensure that you run the Tivoli Storage Manager in the    *
  * environment with the DB2TMPDIR variable set.                 *
