Unable to start Solman after changing hostname

[Former Member]

Hello,

Recently we changed the hostname of our solman system to solmgrserver.

After this SAP is not getting started.

I have modified the oldname hostname in all profile prameters and etc/host.

When i try to start SAP Server, it says,"Cannot read registration directory:\\solmgrservers\sapmnt\SID\SYS\global\sapcontrol"

OS is windows 2003, DB is DB2

Kindly advise,

Thanks,

Regards,

Hello Hasan,

Please check if reinstalling the service and registering the DCOM as follows help.

1) Log into windows as <SID>adm.

2) Run 'sapstartsrv.exe'.

3) Select "Uninstall Service + Unregister COM Interface"

4) Specify your SID and System Number (NR) and click ok.

5) Select "Install Service + Register COM Interface + Start Service

6) Specify your SID and System Number (NR).

7) Specify your startprofile (use the 'browse' button).

😎 Specify your user as (domain\<SID>adm or workgroup\<SID>adm).
