Hello,

Check note # 129997 , run the

following commands

1. niping -t

2. niping -v -h <hostname_of_the_installation_server>

Check IP addresses are correct in /etc/hosts

Hi

could not connect to host local host on port 21200

Just check if JAVA_HOME variable is configure correctly (encluding PATH)

Also make sure that you have added host entry in "/etc/hosts" file

for example:

<local_IP_Address>    <hostname>

you can also try defining JAVA_HOME manually...

export JAVA_HOME=<path_to_JDK_directory>

(For example, JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4)

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

(make sure that previous sapinst process is not running. If running, kill it..)

then try to execute sapinst again...

Hi, actually not a Solaris problem. Maybe an instance of sapinst is already running?! What does netstat tell you? Do you start sapinst with Gui on your sever or are you going to start the gui on aother server? I recommend you check whether an instance of sapinst is already running or not. If so, terminate it. If not, start sapinst and try to connect to it with an gui running on another server.
