JR33410: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO SETUP FILESYSTEM USED BY IS INSTALL

APAR status

• Closed as requirement.

Error description

• Currently the IS install "Table 1. Planning worksheet for file
  systems" mentions
  
  the decriptions for Home directory for pre-created user IDs or
  the
  default location of the home directory for IDs that the install
  program
  creates.
  
   It suggests to confirm that the Administrator ID or the root
  user ID
  that will be used for the installation is able to write to these
  directories. If these directories are defined on mounted drives,
  authentication might not recognize that the root user ID has
  write
  authority.
  
  Customer's  is looking for a more detailed explanation, such as
  a direct mention of having the 777 or 755 on the top directory
  mentioned in the table 1.
  
  According to them they had to do a chown bin:bin and a chmod  R
  755 on the following
  filesystems, or a 777, for the root  installation process to
  succeed
  
  /dstage/IBM/WebSphere
  /dstage/IBM/db2"
