  • 1.  DB2 12.1 Community Edition INSTALL_TSAMP in RSP file not known

    Posted Wed November 27, 2024 02:15 AM

    Hello,

    I downloaded the Db2 12.1 community edition. I tried to install it as I do it normally with command:

    ./db2_install -b /opt/ibm/db2/V12.1 -p SERVER -y -f NOTSAMP -f NOPCMK
    This was working in the early access version od Db2 12.1.
    In the current GA version of Db2 12.1 I see the following messages:
    [root@db2121 server_dec]# ./db2_install -b /opt/ibm/db2/V12.1 -p SERVER -y -f NOTSAMP -f NOPCMK
    A response file error occurred. Unknown keyword "INSTALL_TSAMP" at line "6". 
    A major error occurred during the execution that caused this program to
    terminate prematurely. If the problem persists, contact your technical service
    representative.
    
    
    For more information see the DB2 installation log at
    "/tmp/db2_install.log.1812".
    The RSP file looks like this:
    [root@db2121 ~]$ cat /tmp/db2_install.5197.rsp
    PROD=DB2_SERVER_EDITION
    INSTALL_TYPE=COMPLETE_BASIC
    FILE=/opt/ibm/db2/V12.1
    PROGRAM=db2_install
    INTERACTIVE=YES
    INSTALL_TSAMP=NO
    INSTALL_PCMK=NO
    LIC_AGREEMENT=ACCEPT
    [root@db2121 ~]$
    When I remove the INSTALL_TSAMP=NO, it runs without issues. I found, in the documentation that the INSTALL_TSAMP parameter is deprecated but not removed.
    Was this parameter removed in Db2 12.1, and is the documentation not updated? Do you see the same issue for your installations?

    Starting Db2 v12.1:

    • TSA (Tivoli System Automation) is the only supported cluster manager on AIX
    • Pacemaker is the only supported cluster manager on Linux (On Linux TSA is not supported starting Db2 v12.1)

    According to the official documentation only one of three options can be selected:

    You can't specify NOTSAMP and NOPCMK in the same command anymore:

    • NOTSAMP is now AIX only and NOPCMK does not make any sense on AIX
    • NOPCMK is now Linux only and NOTSAMP does not make any sense on Linux

    The docs could be improved with at least some (1) at the end of NOTSAMP and (2) at end of NOPCMK and then in Notes explained the usage.

    Regards
