How to set instance number during installation?

[Former Member]

We want to install PI 7.1 on the same host as solman 7.0 using multiple oracle homes.

The solman instance is 00. So will there be a conflict if the PI instance is also 00? If yes, how do we set the instance no. during installation? (During solman installation we did not come across any step where we had specifically entered the instance no...)

Additional info:

OS = Windows 2003 Server R2 Ent x64

Solman has both, ABAP and Java stacks active

Thanks

Sapinst will ask you to change the default instance number; if you miss this step then at the end of summary before the installation start, you can check the option to change the instance number. Carefulllll before you hit ok...

Hi Pankaj,

Thanks for your response.

It seems that sapinst itself detected our existing instances and assigned 02 and 03 for the PI instances.

We did not have to manually change the values. We have successfully completed the installation.

I am facing a new problem now. The solman instances cannot be seen in the sapmmc, only the PI instances are seen. The link is [here|;. Let me know if you have the solution.

Thanks
