SAP not starting

[Former Member]

Hi,

The SAP system is not starting.

I have looked into the note 907856, and searched the forums, but did not get any solution

I also used the netstat comamand to find out whether this port 3230 is used or not. It is not used

The System is ECC 6.0 + AIX+ DB2 database.

The following is the log. Please help

m.dump: set maximum dump mem to 96 MB

***LOG Q0I=> NiIBindSocket: bind (68: Can't assign requested address) [nixxi.cpp 3227]

1. check the permission and ownership of /etc/hosts file.

2. IP addresses given in sqlnet.ora file

3. this issue occurs because of SHM segment also.

run the report sappfpar and check all the segments are set correctly.in case of any error correct the same. in the sappfpar check output , check pool 10 and 40 are available as well as no error should be reported.

format

sappfpar check pf=/usr/sap/<sid>/DV*/profiles/<instance profile>.pfl

this is an error with the Name Server ip address.

Can you share how you determined that it was an error with the Name Server ip address.

Thanks!

As per the log , it was showing the ip address as 10.8.225.132

The ip address should be localhost or 127.0.0.1

So this gave us some basic idea that there is some issue with the IP

so now we looged into the unix server and did ping localhost.

It returned the address 10.8.225.132 which is wrong

When you ping localhost, it should return 127.0.0.1

So we called the networking team and told them to look into it

Make Sure that your server has fully qualified domain name.

Please post your host file and the output from your netstat -a, but grep for 32* instead.

Hope this helps.
