As for directories, I usually try to collect all my directories under a 
specific path (DB, log, mirror log, archlog dir, failover dir, stgpool dir and 
config dir) such as itsm. When I only have one instance I use something such as:
 
/itsm/home for instance home directory
/itsm/db/dbXX for database directories
/itsm/log
/itsm/logmir
 
and so on. All of the directories are still filesystems of their own, placed on 
arrays/spindles of their own, but it keeps it simple.
 
As for using multiple directories I still try to collect them under a single 
path and then just add the instance owner:
 
/itsm/tsmsrv1
/itsm/tsmsrv2
 
Biggest reason for doing this is to keep it simple. I dont want to mix up a DB2 
instance home dir with other home directories under /home, and I want a clear 
structure for my TSM configuration.
 
Best Regards

Ärende: TSM V6 Instance ID

I was wondering what everyone else has done for instance ID's on their AIX or 
other UNIX systems for the DB2 instance ID. Are there any issues having the ID 
with no password but not being allowed to login via telnet/ssh outside of 
su'ing from root?

I was also going to request the file ulimit being set to unlimited, are there 
any other specific ulimit's I should change to unlimited or increase in 
general? For the user home directory did you just use the default /home or did 
you split it off in to a separate file space, we're thinking separate file 
space at this time.

I wasn't able to find too much on specifics for the user ID so I apologize if 
this has been asked before or covered in depth somewhere.
