Diagnosing The Problem
Turn on debugging for the db2icrt command using the -d option with the command. For example :
/opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2icrt -d -u tsminst1 tsminst1
The /tmp/db2icrt.trc.xxxx file shows:
...
DBI1088E Invalid access permission detected for directory /home/tsminst1/
...
The "ls -al /home/tsminst1" shows the correct permissions however the "ls -al /home"command returns an "access denied" error.
Resolving The Problem
In this example, correct the permissions for the /home mountpoint and re-run the db2icrt command.
