Tivoli Storage Manager DB2 instance directory location.

Troubleshooting


Problem

A Tivoli Storage Manager server is installed and creates the DB2 instance directory for the Tivoli Storage Manager server on the root of the installation disk.

Resolving The Problem

It is not possible to change the DB2 Instance directory for the Tivoli Storage Manager during installation to a specific directory path. It will be installed at the root of the physical drive letter. As per the installation instructions the following command must be used :

db2 update dbm cfg using dftdbpath instance_location

Instance_location can only be a drive letter, not a directory path.
