While installing db2 v8.1 ese on aix5.2, Though, we have given all the necessary permission for /u02/db2inst1 folder.. we are getting the following error.

DBI1088E Invalid access permission detected for directory
/u02/db2inst1.

Explanation:

There may be several reasons for this error. It is likely that
one of the following situations has occurred:

o Either the given name is not a directory, or it does not have
read and execute permission.

o The given directory can be created but cannot be accessed.
It could be that the permissions on any of its parent
directories in its path have been set incorrectly.



User Response:

Check permissions for the given directory and restart the install
process. Suggested directory permissions are u=rwx,go=rx.


Thanks.

Possible cause: /u02 or / do not have execute permission.

Possible cause: /u02 or / do not have execute permission.

chmod a+x / /u02
chmod a+rx /u02/db2inst1
chmod u+w /u02/db2inst1

thanks.. tried it already but no luck.

Maybe the disk is mounted in read-only mode?
In that case, try to remount it with "-o rw".

To verify this check if you can create a file manually:
> /u02/db2inst1/file

Try the 'chmod 0777 yourdirectory' to se if there are no
special file permissions/blocks on your file system

Remeber to set it to 0750 after you are done

thanks for all the suggestions.. I had already tried them all. But it rather seems to be an issue with the filesystem. Hence we are planning to reconfigure the same.
