Problem description: | |
When performing a cloning operation with the IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot for DB2 in an environment that does not contain the database name in upper case for the path to the data/logs, the processing may fail with the error: DBT2103N Directory "/db2/fcmprdlogs/fcmcln/SQLOGDIR/NODE0000/LOGSTREAM0000/" does not exist In this example the production data is located on the /db2/fcmprdlogs filesystem within the /fcmprd/SQLOGDIR/NODE0000/... directory During the relocate processing the relocate_cfg_file* is updated with the paths for the data/logs for the clone. Depending on the path that is used for this non-default configuration it is possible that the correct location will be created on the file system but the path within a configuration file or this relocate will not be updated appropriately. In this example the /fcmprd/ subdirectory is updated to /fcmcln/ but the file system with name "/db2/fcmprdlogs" is not. This results in DB2 looking for the logs within "/db2/fcmprdlogs/fcmcln/SQLOGDIR/NODE0000/LOGSTREAM0000/, but they are actually in /db2/fcmclnlogs/fcmcln/SQLOGDIR/NODE0000/LOGSTREAM0000/. This can affect both the data and the log directory paths depending on how they are configured IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: all IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot for DB2 Initial Impact: High Additional Keywords: TSM, Tivoli, Storage, Manager, TDP, FCM | |

**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users of Spectrum Protect Snapshot for DB2 all versions up * * to 8.1.0 and users of Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for * * DB2 all versions performing a database cloning. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See ERROR DESCRIPTION * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply fixing level when available or implement a workarround * * described in the "Local Fix" section. This problem is * * currently projected to be fixed in level 8.1.0.2.

Local Fix: | |
Use database name with upper case in all paths where database data and log files are located. For example file system name where DB2 database saves log files may be similar to: /db2/PRD/db2prd/SQLOGDIR/NODE0000. | |
