Error description
When upgrading the Tivoli Storage Manager server from 7.1.1.0 to 7.1.1.100 the path to db2fmcd is changed and and will not run. db2fmcd may respawn repeatedly. The upgrade will stop the DB2 fault monitor service and then start it again after an update. The problem occurs with the command to update the path to the fault monitor service executable when upgrading a DB2 fix pack. This problem will not occur when upgrading to a different DB2 release (for example DB2 9.7 -> DB2 10.5), but it happens when going from DB2 fix pack to fix pack - for example DB2 10.5 FP3 (special build 2) to DB2 10.5 FP3 (special build 3). This is the update path for 7.1.1.000 to 7.1.1.100. Customer/L2 Diagnostics (if applicable) Checking /etc/init/db2fmcd.conf revealed the path to db2fmcd was incorrect. The correct path is /opt/tivoli/tsm/instance/bin/db2fmcd. The upgrade updates this path in the db2fmcd.conf to point to /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2fmcd which doesn't exist. *NOTE* None Platforms affected: AIX, HP, Solaris and Linux 7.1 Initial Impact: Medium
Local fix
Update the /etc/init/db2fmcd.conf file to have the correct path of: /opt/tivoli/tsm/instance/bin/db2fmcd Then restart db2fmcd by running the command: initctl start db2fmcd On AIX, change inittab entry to; 'fmc:2:respawn:/opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator'.
