hi all

i'm facing a problem and i really need hellp, while trying to start SAP the central instance failed and this is the start log

Instance Service on host hostname started

Cannot create Lock File. ("sapstart.sem" Read-only file system)

(13906) Exiting with Return-Code -103. (Access permission denied)

Startup of Instance failed

i checked out the permission of this file and it's directory which was correct as follows:

drwxr-xr-x 2 bp1adm sapsys 12288 Sep 21 13:32 work <<<directory

the "work" directory contains the file which the error logs stated ,when i try to create a file under the "work" directory it says :

touch: cannot touch `new_file': Read-only file system

i unmounted and re-mounted again and tried to create a file and i succeeded ; tried to start SAP again but it failed giving same error again and i failed to write under the "work" directory again

Database is up and running

Hello,

Ensure that all of the systems processes have stopped.

If necessary, run the files kill.sap and shutdown.sap in the SAP System

Working-Directory.

( /usr/sap/<system-name>/<unit name>/work ).

Ensure that all IPC objects (shared mem, semaphores, ...) have been

deleted. ( showipc <system-no) bzw. cleanipc <system-no> )

What OS version do you have is it Linux?

regards,

John Feely

Hi,

Check whether file system is created with read and write permission.

Thanks
