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 Daniel

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. - Mike
