IC63555: DB2 UPDATE DBM CFG USING DFTDBPATH EXAMPLE INCORRECT

APAR status

• Closed as user error.

Error description

• The Tivoli Storage Manager install instructions contain an
  example which is incorrect. In the section labeled "Creating
  the server instance", step 2 has this as an example:
  -
  db2 update dbm cfg using dftdbpath /home/tsminst1/tsminst1
  -
  This example is incorrect. The previous examples use the
  correct instance directory, which is:
  -
  /home/tsminst1
  -
  Therefore, the correct example would be:
  -
  db2 update dbm cfg using dftdbpath /home/tsminst1
  -
  The instance directory has both of these attributes:
  1. It is the home directory of the instance owner
  2. It contains a directory called sqllib
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  6.1 servers on Linux and unix
  Initial Impact: Medium

  s specified in
  the example.
