sapinst taking long time to load

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

we are installing sapnw730 PI.

we have noticed that the SAPinst taking long time to load ( near about 45 mins) for every time.

Once sapinst starts we dont find any slowness during the installation and the system behaves quite normal.

On the same host we installed sapnw7.1 BI, that took very less time to load.

Any clues to reduce the SAPinst load time ? , anyone encounter this error before?

system details : SUN Solaris SPARC with 8GB RAM and no other instances running on the host.

thanks in advance

It is a secret way by SAP to get you to use SAP JVM installer

Hello All,

Thanks for your suggestions,

we have started the fresh installation with JAVA 1.4,

This time the installation looks ok.

Thanks

It seems more like resources issue , like memory , cpu , monitor the TOP command while it is loading, i might go to %100 resource usag

We have enough memory (8 GB Ram)

we have monitored other process and CPU usage during SAPinst run time.

our CPU utilization was 50 % only during SAPinst

Any other clues ??

Thanks

Hi Ganesh,

What about SWAP space ?

Are you using correct JDK ?

Ganesh make the swap space at least 21GB..It will resolve your issue.

Hi Ganesh,

Is there any specific reason that you have made swap space 13 GB? Though 8 GB RAM is fine for the installation but I would suggest to increase the swap space to more than 20 GB.
