db2 创建实例 The host name "fordatabase" is invalid. Specify a valid host name.
有这样一个现象，在DB2安装后，使用db2icrt 来创建实例时，提示主机名无效，提示如下：
[plain] view plain copy
[root@centos-0 instance]# ./db2icrt -u db2inst1 db2inst1
The host name "centos-0.msdomain" is invalid. Specify a valid host name.
DBI1922N The host name is not valid.
Explanation:
The TCP/IP host name parameter is not valid or does not exist.
User response:
Ensure that TCP/IP is operational on the system. If a domain name server
is used, ensure that the domain name server machine is active. Issue the
command again using the correct TCP/IP host name.

/opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/instance/db2iutil: line 2528: DB2INSTVER: parameter null or not set
检查 /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/instance/db2iutil 文件（非提示的2528行），发现有如下内容
[plain] view plain copy
${DB2DIR?}/instance/db2isrv -addfcm -i ${INSTNAME?} ${DB2ISRVOPTS?}
if [ $? -eq 3 ]; then
db2isrv
${DB2DIR?}/instance/db2isrv -addfcm -i ${INSTNAME?} ${DB2ISRVOPTS?}
if [ $? -eq 3 ]; then
display_msg ${DB2CAT?} 922 \
'DBI1922N The host name is not valid.\n'
stop_prog 1
fi就是当db2isrv -addcfm -i ${INSTNAME?} ${DB2ISRVOPTS?} 返回为3的时候提示主机名称不正确。
这个db2isrv 找了很多东西，没找到具体的内容，看名字是给系统增加一个服务。后面是addfmc ，这个fmc是DB2的故障守护进程。
这个是监测DB2实例正常运行，当实例异常宕机后，它会自动启动实例。那么以上的错误可以连起来了：
再给系统增加一个DB2守护进程的时候失败了，原因是主机名不对。
好的，看一下主机名定义
[root@centos-0 instance]# hostname
centos-0.msdomain这没问题
再看
[root@centos-0 instance]# vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
这个地方不知为什么CENTOS装好之后没有修改，修改一下。修改后内容如下
[root@centos-0 instance]# vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost centos.msdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
保存再次执行创建实例，正常
