DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

Before this APAR is included, the following error may occur: 
 
Summary of prerequisites that are not met on the current system: 
 
Required minimum kernel level : "5.10" Update "9" 
Actual kernel level: "5.10" Update "8" 
 
Even though the release file shows the proper patch level was 
applied, such as: 
 
# cat /etc/*release 
Solaris 10 10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC 
Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 
Use is subject to license terms. 
Assembled 16 September 2009 
 
Solaris 10 9/10 (Update 9) Patch Bundle applied. 
 
Due to inconsistent values stored in the /etc/release files on 
Solaris, this APAR will remove the OS level check from 
db2prereqcheck and the OS level is to be verified manually.

level, the warning can be ignored and DB2 can be installed using 
the "-f sysreq" option to bypass the system requirements check
