Specifying permissions for the database directories

The group that the instance owner belongs to must have write access to the database directory names that are specified in the ARS.CFG file (the ARS_DB2_DATABASE_PATH, ARS_DB2_PRIMARY_LOGPATH, and ARS_DB2_ARCHIVE_LOGPATH parameters). You created the instance owner and group when you installed the database manager (see Installing the database manager on Linux™). See Specifying the ARS.CFG file for the instance for help with configuring the ARS.CFG file.
