Regarding kernel upgrade in ECC 6.0

Former Member

Hi,

We want to perform a kernel upgrade for our ECC 6.0 system landscape.

Currently we are on kernel 133 and the present kernel level is 179 in service market place.

In our landscape,we have 7 dialog instances along with the central instance.If I upgrade the exe folder(Solaris) in Central instance, would the kernel be upgraded in all the application servers associated with it?

Or do we need replace all the executables(After unzipping the uncar files of SAPEXE & SAPEXEDB)in dialog instances as well, apart from central instances.If so,in what sequence do we need to replace.(Central Instance,Dialog instance1,DI2,DI3....)

Anyone please clarify and help.

Hi Sudheer,

If your landscape(CI & DI) running in heterogenus operating system then you have to perform kernel upgrade manually in CI and DI because SAP provides SAR files according to operating system and Database with unicode and Non-unicode systems.

Please check in the link https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/patches

^^^ Well there you go - haven't worked on a multi-instanced system with 700. You learn something new every day.

Hi,

In kernel 7 the sapcpe is in charge of copying SAP executables from CI to DI when starting the system but this is only valid if all CI and DI uses the same operating system so if this is your case, just copy new kernel to /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run and sapcpe then stop each DI and start again so the new files will be copied.

If DI have different OS then you should do the copy manually in each one.

Good luck
