DB2 - SQL1051N while Redirected Restore

You’ll get this error message when attempting to restore a database with automatic storage onto a server where the path doesn’t exist

 I had this problem when attempting :

 db2 restore db db1 from /db2inst1/backups into db1 redirect without prompting

The  error message was

 SQL1051N The path "/db2inst/files" does not exist. SQLSTATE=57019

 The resolution was :

1)Create path where the automatic storage should install

2)use the following syntax :

 db2 "restore db db1 from /db2inst1/backups ON /db2inst1/files/db1 into db1 redirect without prompting"
db2 “restore db db1 continue”
