SPS3 installer failed with 'SAPCAR: Permission denied'

[Vitaliy-R]

When running unified installer (Rev 20):

hana-rep:/HANA/repository/HANA1.0-SPS03/51041779/DATA_UNITS/HANA_IM_LINUX__X86_64 # ./setup.sh /tmp/hanainst/ /tmp/setuphana.slmodel

I am getting the following error:

[20111123105848] [  65% completed] Working on:       'SUM' ...  --> STARTED

and when looking into log:

I checked the SAPCAR:

hana-rep:/HANA/repository/HANA1.0-SPS03/51041779/DATA_UNITS/HANA_IM_LINUX__X86_64 # ll /HANA/repository/HANA1.0-SPS03/51041779/DATA_UNITS/HANA_IM_LINUX__X86_64/SAPCAR

It looks good for me, as I am 'root' and have permissions to execute it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I looked into glf file in logs, and it seems that <sid>adm is installing SUM:

EXTRACT_USER="hnaadm"
USE_LST_FILE="0"
EXTRACT_LST_FILE="-A $TMP_DIR/$LST_FILE"

if [ $USE_LST_FILE -eq 0 ]
then
   su - $EXTRACT_USER -c "$SAPCAR_DIRECTORY/$SAPCAR_EXECUTABLE -xvf $FILE_TO_EXTRACT -R $TARGET_DIRECTORY"
   rc=$?

I changed the permissions on SAPCAR for everyone to execute and re-starting setup.sh after clearing work directory.

Yep, it was the issue with the SAPCAR pemission for <sid>adm user, beause files where copied through Windows system and then permissions were manually set on files and directories just for 'root'. Should not happen in normal operations.

Hi Vitaliy, how you can clearing work directory? I delete all files and folder on it and still can't continue the installation!
