Hi Ramones, 

Looks like a permission issue on first glance although user root is involved. However please check for that to eliminate any such possibility.

Check if any service already associated with hostctrl isn't running by chance. If so kill it and retry.

Further I would suggest using this command

/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexec -restart pf=/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/host_profile

Hi Ramones,

What about other queries?

Also for which system was kernel upgraded to 720. Also what happens when you execute saphostexec -status

HI Ruchit

root@hostname:/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe># ./saphostexec -status

saphostexec stopped

11:12:07 12.06.2012     LOG: Using PerfDir (DIR_PERF) = /usr/sap/tmp

saposcol running (pid = 13812)

root@cp1ds001:/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe>#

Hi Ramon,

Probably this is the cause.SAPOSCOL shouldn't be running independent of Host Agent. Please stop saposcol or simply kill the process and then try it once again.

Hi Ramones,

The correct permissions are as follows:

rw-r----- 1 root sapsys /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/host_profile

Thanks,
