Db2 Pacemaker Mutualfaiover -add all Filesysystems releated to db2 instance & database as part of configuration

Mutual failover meant for Db2 shared storage between primary and secondary servers and all FS related to instance/db would be up and running on primary. Current Mutual failover configuration consists of ./db2cm -create -dbmount option but it is not mounting all the FS related to DB and instance. 

DB storage path, db active/archive log/mirror log and diagpath can be retrieved from catalog tables/db cfg/dbm cfg  and can be used to make it part of the db2 pacemaker resources list.

This will help to avoid any mistakes during configuration and no need of manual intervention to add them part of the pacemaker configuration. Only if there are any staging FS and non-mandatory File system can be added with  ./db2cm -create -mount option.

    Thank you for submitting this Idea. We discussed this internally - it would be a complex implementation with a high risk of unexpected issues. We will mark this as Future Consideration as we explore avenues to alert users about resources.

    We will continue to monitor user demand for such a feature through voting and comments. We will update this Idea in the future.
    Thank you.
