Docker Secrets - And there's more ....
I am on another voyage of discovery, this time using IBM Cloud Automation Manager (CAM) to build out IBM middleware such as DB2, WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Liberty Profile on VMs, hosted on the IBM Cloud ( aka SoftLayer ).
So, having got CAM up-and-running, and having learned a few lessons about building VMs ( the subject of the next few posts ), I started by attempting to build out a DB2 VM ....
This went smoothly, until I hit this exception: -
...

It took me but a little while to work out what I'd missed ...
Having built CAM, and the underlying IBM Cloud Private (ICP) platform, I somehow assumed that the requisite IBM software packages would magically download themselves from Passport Advantage, Fix Central etc.
Well, guess what ....
They did not :-)
Using this as inspiration: -
Managing a software repository
I downloaded the required DB2 binary, fix pack and activation kit: -
ls -al /tmp/v11.1.2fp2_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2092136927 Jun 15 2017 /tmp/v11.1.2fp2_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz
ls -al /tmp/DB2_Svr_11.1_Linux_x86-64.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1945576016 Jun 11 2016 /tmp/DB2_Svr_11.1_Linux_x86-64.tar.gz
ls -al /tmp/DB2_ESE_AUSI_Activation_11.1.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3993254 Jun 3 2016 /tmp/DB2_ESE_AUSI_Activation_11.1.zip
and placed the files in the requisite locations: -
cp /tmp/DB2_Svr_11.1_Linux_x86-64.tar.gz /opt/ibm/docker/software-repo/var/swRepo/private/db2/v111/base
cp /tmp/v11.1.2fp2_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz /opt/ibm/docker/software-repo/var/swRepo/private/db2/v111/maint
unzip -j -p DB2_ESE_AUSI_Activation_11.1.zip \*db2ese_u.lic > /opt/ibm/docker/software-repo/var/swRepo/private/db2/v111/license
and validated the same: -
ls -R -al /opt/ibm/docker/software-repo/var/swRepo/private/db2/v111/
/opt/ibm/docker/software-repo/var/swRepo/private/db2/v111/:

With the right files in the right place, guess what, the CAM build of a DB2 VM just flippin' worked :-)
