Error description

  • The Tivoli Storage Manager Server installation or upgrade will
    fail at the DB2 installation stage with the following error:
    
    
    ANRI1020E: The DB2 installation failed. To review errors and
    correct any issues, review:
    C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation
    Manager\logs\native\tsm_logs\db2_install.log
    
    The DB2 installation on Windows requires Microsoft 8.3 filename
    convention and if this is disabled, the installation or upgrade
    will fail.
    NOTE: Starting with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, the 8dot3
          filename support is disabled by default on non-system
          drives (e.g. D:\)
          Starting with WinPE 4.0 (Windows Preinstallation
          Environment), the 8dot3 filename support is disabled for
          all volumes including the system drive.
          Any Windows images created using WinPE 4.0 or later will
          have 8dot3 filename support disabled.
    
    
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    All supported versions of Tivoli Storage Manager Server on
    Windows platform

Problem conclusion

  • Update the Installation Guide with a new topic as follows:
    
    Prepare to install DB2 on Windows
    
    Before you install DB2 on Windows operating systems, ensure that
    you correctly configured your directory names.
    
    Short file names
    If DB2 is installed on a drive on which 8.3 file names are
    disabled, and the DB2 installation directory name has spaces in
    it, DB2 must be reinstalled on a drive that has 8.3 file names
    that are enabled, or in a directory that does not have spaces in
    the name.
    
    8.3 file name support is disabled by default for all non-system
    drives, for example D:\, since Windows Server 2012 R2. 8.3 file
    name support is also disabled by default for all volumes since
    Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) 4.0.
    
    To check the current 8.3 file name settings for a drive, in a
    DB2 command window, run the fsutil.exe behavior query
    disable8dot3 command.
    These are the values when you run the command:
    0 = Create 8.3 short file names (default)
    1 = Do not create 8.3 file names
    2 = Set 8.3 file names on a per volume basis
    3 = Disable 8.3 file names on all volumes, except the system
    volume
    
    The registry state of NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is 0, which
    means that 8.3 file names are enabled on all volumes
    
    To enable 8.3 file names on a global basis, run the fsutil.exe
    behavior set disable8dot3 0 command.
    
    This problem is currently projected to be fixed in
    levels 6.3.6 and 7.1.4. Note that this is subject to change at
    the discretion of IBM.
    
    Affected platforms:  Windows.
