Error description

• Update dbm cfg fails with SQL5126N on a client instance which
  was created on 10.5 or older version and upgraded to V11.
  
  $ db2 update dbm cfg using diaglevel 4
  SQL5126N  The UPDATE DATABASE MANAGER CONFIGURATION command
  failed because the
  specified database manager configuration parameter is not
  supported by the
  current instance node type. Database manager configuration
  parameter:
  "fcm_buffer_size". Instance node type: "2".
  
  The dbm cfg fcm_buffer_size is introduced in V11. During
  upgrading a client instance, a certain value is set as the
  default but it is not correct for client instances. After the
  upgrade the problem occurs when running update dbm cfg. If the
  client instance is newly created in V11, the problem does not
  occur.
  

Local fix

• Re-create the client instance on V11.
