Hello Richard,
in addition to my mail, keep in mind:
- Instanceuser and -group
- settings under /etc/security/ belonging to this user.
- /etc/tunables/nextboot
- Stanzas in /etc/services belonging to the TSM-Instance ( often to be found
at the end consisting of 5-6 consecutive lines, naming schema DB2_<instance>
till DB2_<instance>_END)
