IT25601: "DB2CLUSTER -CM -ENTER -MAINTENANCE" COMMAND FAILS IF RUN ON A TIEBREAKER HOST IN GDPC ENVIRONMENT

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In a GDPC pureScale environment, the following error may be
  encountered when attempting to enter maintenance mode on the
  tiebreaker host:
  
  $ /opt/IBM/DB2/V11.1.3/bin/db2cluster -cm -enter -maintenance
  DBT8066E Unable to enter maintenance mode on host "TBhostA".
  Reason code = "3".
  A diagnostic log has been saved to
  '/tmp/ibm.db2.cluster.qyFz13s.
  

Local fix

• In order to workaround this issue, RSCT can be stopped via
  native RSCT commands, e.g. the "stoprpnode TBhostA" command can
  be used to stop RSCT on the tiebreaker host. In order to then
  exit maintenance mode, RSCT can be started back up on the host
  via the "startrpnode TBhostA" command. Note that the startrpnode
  command must be issued from another host in the cluster.
