Enable DB2 instances on AUFS (Docker)

DB2 can be installed on AUFS, but database instances cannot be created (see https://github.com/jeffbonhag/db2-docker/issues/2#issuecomment-52920986). DB2 express (and every other edition) uses O_DIRECT to access the file system, which is not avail...

AIX IOCP activation should be optional(RIMS)

Currently, when you install DB2 10.1 on AIX, it assumes that you want to use IOCP. But not only does it default DB2_USE_IOCP to ON, it also turns on IOCP at the AIX level. Some customers (including us) have bad experiences of IOCP and do not want ...
