Unable to stopsap: it shows error no instance profile found

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am unable to stopsap. My system is an active-passive cluster.

SAP ERP SR1 EHP4 ready

AIX 6.1

I have changed parameter via rz10 u2018login/no_automatic_user_sapstaru2019 to enable sap* so as to do client copy. I got message to restart the system for the parameter to take effect( as we all know).

when I give command stopsap I get error as shown below

#stopsap DVEBMGS48

instance profile /usr/sap/PRD/SYS/profile/PRD_DVEBMGS48_SAPPRD not found(SAPPRD is local hostname)

here is more o/p of my system, showing profiles available

The problem I understand is that it is trying to call instance profile having local host name which doesnot exist.

Profile with virtual hostname exists.

why is it trying to call instance profile with local host name

Working as designed.

 #stopsap DVEBMGS48

This means: Stop SAP instance DVEBMGS48 on your local host (default), which happens to be SAPPRD.

But ín your case DVEBMGS48 actually is running on virtual host SAPPR1-svc, and correct syntax will be:

 #stopsap DVEBMGS48 SAPPR1-svc
