hi

try this..

1.take the back up of old kernal. Stop all the services.

2. Extracte the kernal 7.01 to new separate folder(just any folder in the OS)

3.Copy all the files from the new folder, paste in to the /sapmnt/SID/exe with the overwrite mode.(Overwrite the old exe files)

4.Now Start the system.

check and update

Note:

kernal default location is /sapmnt/SID/exe .When SAP instannce start up, the kernal in /sapmnt/SID/exe copied to /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run so always is better to upgrade the kernal in /sapmnt/SID/exe

thanks,

Jansi

Hi,

The default kernel location is: /sapmnt/SID/exe . When the SAP instance is starting up by startsap command, the kernel from /sapmnt/SID/exe is overwriting the kernel in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run . So always is better to upgrade kernel in /sapmnt/SID/exe directory.

you can also try the below step

Backup the old kernel. Usually it is located in: </usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/<uc or nuc>/<system>. it might also be located in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run .Extract the new kerenel to this location and start the application and check.
