Issue during creation of users in the SAPinst execution phase

Former Member

The installer stopped with the following message.

Existing account sdb has the primary group TDC_Streamlining_KPS, not sdba. Changing primary group.

FSL-05014  Command '/usr/sbin/usermod' with parameters '-g 33218 sdb' failed with return code 14: usermod: Account `sdb' does not exist.

When I am giving the “useradd sdb” command it is saying the “Account sdb already exists”

But when I am giving the ‘usermod sdb” it is saying the “Account sdb does not exits”

I think this is because due to the conflict of local users on the system and users on the central active directory. As there is no mention of user sdb in /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow.

Can you manually add the user sdb to group 33218 manually so that sapinst does not have to modify it .

Can you check with your OS admin if he can do it for you.
