ECC 6.0 installtion on HP-UX cluster (HA)

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

While installing ECC 6.0 on HP-UX High Availability Cluster, I am facing some issues...

First I installed the Central Servcies Instance for ABAP. It worked fine without any errors..

Then while installing the Database instance it gave me following error :

_----

Tried to stop the ASCS instance installed... But it gave error saying " kill: 7286: The specified process does not exist."

Just wondering where this user "p11adm" is being used.

Kindly Help...

Although i am not Markus, i will answer in his place

sapstartsrv is always started, when you start an instance (or at server boot). It is used to start the SAP from remote with SAPMMC on unix. When you stopsap, then the sapstartsrv process will remain. So in your case the sapstartsrv is most probably the one from the ASCS instance.

Hi Mho,

Just want to clarify that how does the sapstartsrv stops.

There is not specific command which stops the process, even though you stopsap. The only way is to kill the process?????

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

During the installation of an instance a script is created that starts that service on system boot. On HP-UX this is

/sbin/init.d/sapinit

You can use that script to stop and start the service (which is usually done e. g. on system reboot, it´s linked in the runlevels).

You can simply do

/sbin/init.d/sapinit stop

as user root.

Hi Markus,

You are right....

sapstartsrv is showing against p11adm...

Should I kill the process.....??

Hi Micheal,

I tried to add manually p11adm to DBA and SYSDBA groups but it gave same error...

[Former Member]

Hi

Yes you can kill the sapstartsrv. There is no sysdba group, so you did something wrong, or is it just a typo?

Try:

ps -ef | grep p11adm

This may be "sapstartsrv"...

Alternatively you can alter p11adm yourself and add him to the groups sapinst,sapsys,dba. You can then hit retry in sapinst and it will proceed (and probably complain about orap11).
