MaxDB (7.8.02.27) installation error: Invalid parameter Data Volumes

[martin_schneider3]

Hi all,

i get errors during installation procedure of MaxDB 7.8.02.27 at the point where i define the Database Volume paths (step 4b).

If i use the default values the database gets created without errors.

But if i do changes e.g. to the size of the data volume, the error appears when i click next:

"Invalid value for data volume size: data size of 0KB does not make sense Specify useful sizes for your log volumes".

If i create 2 data files with different names (DISKD0001, DISKD0002), i get an error mesage that i have used one filename twice.

Now its getting strange: If i use the previous button to move one step back and then use the next button again, it sometimes

accepts the settings and i´m able to start the installation and the database gets created.

I´m remote on a VMWare server 2008 R2 (EN) and i´m using the x64 package of MaxDB.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Martin Schneider

Hi Martin,

A general system error occurrs if file *.vmdk is larger than the maximum size supported ... It has to be replaced with the nearest acceptable value associated with the various block sizes so that you can use to create a datastore.

You may need to resize your block size while choosing VMFS datastore.

Hope this is useful.
