Hi there,

I have been facing a problem for past two days by trying many options no luck so far, your expertise to help on this would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is in creating instance in DB2 V8.1 on Linux V5 32 bit.

When i try to run the following command from root

[root@sales5054 instance]# ./db2icrt -a server -u db2fenc1 miracle

i get the following message in the log file under /tmp

Program name = db2idbm
Instance home dir = /home/inst1, Sysadm group = db2admin
Instance type = 1, Auth type = SERVER

SQL6048N A communication error occurred during START
or STOP DATABASE MANAGER
processing.
Update DBM cfg SYSADM_GROUP errcode = 8
DBI1281E The database manager configuration file
could not be
initialized.

Explanation:

An error occurred when attempting to initialize the
database
manager configuration file. A DB2 instance could not
be created
or migrated.

User Response:

Refer to the log file for problem determination.
Resolve the
problem and try the command again. If the problem
persists,
please contact IBM Support.

DBI1079I Output is saved in the log file
/tmp/db2icrt.log.23798.
Explanation:

All processed and failed operations have been saved
into this log
file.

User Response:

Do not modify this file in any way. This file is for IBM
Technical Support reference.

Try specifying a port number:

./db2icrt -u db2fenc1 -p 50000 miracle

If you already have another instance, it may be using 50000 so use a different number (50010, etc).

You don't need to specify "-a" since server authentication is the default.

Also, check that the hostname is correct in /etc/hosts. Please refer to the following technote:
IBM - SQL6048N when creating a new instance

just check miracle is os user or not

check weather ay instance with miracle name

by db2ilist

if already exist just drop instance
