SOLMAN 7.0 Error at sapinst execution

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am installing Solman 7.0 on HP-UX 11.23 with oracle. I created all the file systems with temp space of 6GB. when I am going in to /SAP_Solution_M._7.0_Inst._Master/IM_HPUX_IA64 and running ./sapinst it started extracting the file but immediately after that it is throwing an error

*root@sapsm2[/sminstall/im_ia64_newsapinst/SAP_Solution_M._7.0_Inst._Master/IM_HPUX_IA64]# ./sapinst /?

[==============================] \ extracting... done!

unable to get the handle to iamodell701 ...*

and setup exit from there I set all the env variables and permissions I checked all but I am not able to get this through. Please help urgently.

Thanks,

[==============================] \ extracting... done!

unable to get the handle to iamodell701 ...

but no problem of Temp

Please try with a separate installation directory as given, do not call sapinst in the directory directly but relatively (as given in the example).

Really strange - what Java version do you use?

Hi Markus,

I used below version of Java for SOLMAN 7.0 release.

Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.4.2 1.4.2.20-080814-22:10-IA64N IA64, mixed mode)

thanks,

Oh - then you need to execute the sapinst for IA64 (Itanium-2) - not for PA-RISC!

I use

root@parv4671:/install$ java -version

java version "1.5.0.14"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0.14-_25_jul_2008_05_19)

Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0.14 jinteg:07.25.08-04:19 PA2.0 (aCC_AP), mixed mode)

There is a command to extract sapinst in some other directory. First you should have a directory like /sapmnt/SID/install with 775 permissions and extract the sapinst file in to that with the command help

sapinst /sapmnt/SID/install -extract

You should be on that same directory where your current sapinst is lying. copy all corresponding files in to that new /install directory. after extraction you will get some more files including a new sapinst at new location i.e. /sapmnt/SID/install. run that file ./ sapinst and you hopefully you will be able to install it without this iamodell701 ... error.

Thanks,

Kamal

Sorry - two persons writing likewise - I didn't pay attention.

1.5 is not released too - you need to use 1.4.2.

You can try to set the TEMP variable to a different place than the normal /tmp

export TEMP=<directory>
export TMP=<directory>

I would also create an installation directory rather than using /tmp:

mkdir /install
cd /install
/sminstall/im_ia64_newsapinst/SAP_Solution_M._7.0_Inst._Master/IM_HPUX_IA64/sapinst
