New features

This release features a new installation path for the agent for DB2. The path is
/opt/VRTSagents/ha/. The change in the path is to better align it for consistency across the Symantec product line.

The attributes StartUpOpt and ShutDownOpt provide new start up and shut down options. Using the StartUpOpt attribute, you can start the instance or partition, activate database commands after processes start, or create customized start up sequences. Using the ShutDownOpt attribute, you can perform a normal stop or customize your shut down sequence.

See Db2udb resource type attributes.

In previous releases when you enabled in-depth monitoring (IndepthMonitor=1), it executed a default SQL query. The in-depth monitor now allows you to classify action for DB2 errors according to their severity. You can associate predefined actions with each error code with a monitoring script that you can customize. You can find a sample of in-depth monitoring script is in the
/etc/VRTSagents/ha/conf/Db2udb/sample_db2udb directory. Install the custom script in the /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/Db2udb directory.

See Handling DB2 error codes during in-depth monitoring and Db2udb resource type attributes.

You can enable the AgentDebug attribute to get more debugging information from the agent and the database.
