MMC tree has dissappeared & so can't start XI server

[Former Member]

Hello Friends

Our XI server was working perfectly all right before I left for vacation 10 days ago. But now when I re-started the MMC, I see just the parent node that says 'SAP Systems' and the whole tree structure under it has vanished. So now I can't restart the XI server.

I tried SDN forum's old posting and one of them was

As per the instructions there I tried to de-install the service and trying to re-install using the command 'sapstartsrv'.

According to the posting, I should be getting a succesfully installed message. But instead I get a pop up screen which says 'Service Not Started'.

Is there anything else that I should be doing? I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Hi Ram

Mostly this works.

Sometimes it get dump up with shared directory

Did you tried something else than this to solve?

Thanks

For some reason my /usr/sap was not shared properly. I don't know how this happened, but once it was taken care of, things started working.

I didnt know that /usr/sap has to be mounted with proper sharing. Somehow this sharing had dissappeared. Another thing I noticed was that the work directory where log files are created was not getting updated at all. So all I did was to share this for people with admin rights.
