I downloaded db2 v12 1.1 and wanted to upgrade a community edition install v11.5.9

it complains that it can not create the file sqllib/ctrl/.fencedID

the file already exists and keeps the name of the fenced userid

according a doc IBM Support  

but in this doc the speak about db2iupdt and I use db2iupgrade

and another doc indicated the file should be fencedid owned ??

you have to : drop/create the file = this gives same error

removing the file : upgrade fails - file does not exist

modify the code in db2iutil to create it conditionally

so i commented the line where it puts the fencedid in the file - but same error

any hint how to modify this db2iutil to avoid this problem

there is also a check of file ownership : if I understand well it should be root owned and it was instanceowner owned = chown did not resolve problem

still complaining about create of file

AFAIK  .fencedID is owned by fenced user:
