2. Installed ASCS - OK

3. Install MSCS first Node - During this phase SAPINST has renamed our resource group from SAPGRP to SAP PRD

4. We have adjusted our profiles and SAP service according to new SAP HOST - "SAP" created in step 3 by SAPINST

5. DB instance is failing in second phase - install common files

Extract of error from SAPINST.LOG is -

Hello Ankita,

I am currently facing the same error during Database installation (ECC6 EHP5-Oracle-Win2008R2). How did you manage to solve it that time.

Hi Prashant,

Check the note "1108852 - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 / Business Suite 2005 SR3: Windows" and search for "can't create parent node" error, under "High Availability (HA)" title.

You will find the solution, there

Hi Orkun,

I followed your suggestion and set the permissions accordingly as precaution, But the issue that I face is SAPinst is searching for 'SAPMNT' share with //physical-hostname and not by the virtual-host-name..In my the system 'SAPMNT' share already exists as //<Virtual_Hostname/sapmnt with proper permissions.

Any suggestions on these.

Hi,

Did you used "SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME" parameter while executing sapinst?

Hi Orkun,

Actually the parameter had no mention anywhere in SAP ECC6-EHP5-Win2008R2-Oracle Installation Guide. so did not think of trying.

Shall I try using it with value of my ASCS virtual hostname?

Thank You for your support.

Create a temporary sapmnt share,for the physical host. After you complete the transaction successfully, delete the share.

Hi,

How do I create temporary sapmnt share for the physical host? When I tried, it says, SAPMNT share already exists with Virtual host name.

Please guide.

Hi,

Please check the accessibility of
SAP\sapmnt\ location. Any Permission issue is there?

Dear Ankita,

Check that your host name is mapped to the IP address in C:WINNTsystem32driversetchosts.

Also, check below link:
