hi gurus
i have to install SAP BI on one HP-UX server. unfortunately the OS admin is not available and i have to cretae file systems too.
can any one tell me how to create file systems in HP-UX which are required for SAP installation on Oracle. i know the all the directories required for the installation but i just wonder is it like just create directory like
/usr/sap/<SID> and mount on to any logical volume. or the procedure is different from what i am thinking
please help
Hi Akhil,
Mounting Directories in HP-UX:
There are two ways of mounting directories via NFS:
u2022 Manually
u2022 Using SAM
Procedure
Mounting Directories via NFS using SAM
On the host on which the main instance runs, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the command /usr/sbin/sam
2. Select Networking and Communications u2192 Networked File Systems u2192
Exported Local File Systems u2192 Actions u2192 Add
3. Enter the Local Directory Name /sapmnt/CUS
Select Specify UID for unknown user and enter at User ID the value 0.
Select Specify Root User Access and add the Remote System Names.
4. Type OK.
5. Exit SAM.
On the host on which the additional instance runs:
1. Enter the command /usr/sbin/sam
2. Select Networking and Communications u2192 Networked File Systems u2192
Mounted Remote File Systems u2192 Actions u2192 Add Remote File Systems u2192 Using NFS
3. Enter:
The Local Directory Name
The Remote Server Name of the host exporting the file system
The Remote Directory Name
4. Enable the mount Now and On boot.
5. Specify Read-Write Access.
6. Type OK.
7. Exit SAM.
Mounting Directories via NFS manually:
On the host on which the main instance runs, proceed as follows:
...
1. Add the file system you want to export to the file /etc/exports using the option
-root= <nfs_cli_hostname_1>:...:< nfs_cli_hostname_n>,> \
access= <nfs_cli_hostname_1>:...:< nfs_cli_hostname_n>
Example:/sapmnt/C11/exe -root=hw5111:hw5115, access=hw5111:hw5115
When you encounter problems with your input similar to the example above, try something like
/sapmnt/C11/exe -anon=y, access=hw5111:hw5115
2. Make the file system available to NFS clients: /usr/sbin/exportfs -a
On the host on which the additional instance runs:
1. Add the remote file system to /etc/fstab.
hwi173:/sapmnt/CUS /sapmnt/CUS nfs defaults 0 0
2. Mount the file system
mount hwi173:/sapmnt/CUS
Hope it resolves your issue.
Thanks
Kishore
