Question & Answer
Question
In V10.5 you might run into the following error when running db2_install with '-p' option. $ ./db2_install -b /opt/IBM/db2/V10.5 -p ESE DBI1324W Support of the db2_install command is deprecated. For more information, see the DB2 Information Center. DBI1060E Invalid package name ESE. Explanation: An incorrect name has been entered. The package either does not exist or the name has been entered incorrectly. The db2_install Information Center says to look into the provided ComponentList.htm file to check for the 'Short Name' when using -p option. However, looking into this file you will see the following: DB2 Server Edition Product Short Name: ESE Product Response File ID: DB2_SERVER_EDITION You would see the same error for any other editions.
Cause
Starting from V10.5 there has been a change to only use short name 'SERVER' when specifying for -p option.
Answer
The ComponentList.htm file has not been modified to show SERVER as a short name. This will be addressed in future V10.5 fixpack releases.
As shown below, use SERVER as -p input:
$ ./db2_install -b /opt/IBM/db2/V10.5 -p SERVER
