Kernal Upgrade issue in AIX cluster

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Currently we are on kernel 700 release(Non-unicode) and want to upgrade to 711 release.

We have CI & DB on one node and DI on second node.

The kernal directory of CI to exported to DI.

We have successfully upgraded the kernel on CI and DISP+work is showing 711 on both CI and DI.

But the dispatcher of DI is shutting down.

With error message missing code page information in DBORALIB.so file.

Even r3trans -d is throwing  RC error 12 on DI but is working fine on CI.

So we restored the backed up kernel (700 release) and  both CI and DI is working fine.

The OS is AIX and oracle is 11g.

Please advice how to proceed.

Thanks

Hello,

I would like to add one more thing that while running the below command after kernal upgrade.

#./saproot.sh <SID>

we get error that we need that user bit not set for file sapuxuserchk.

Go to the directory

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run

Then execute

ls -la sapuxuserchk

paste the output .

If the owner and group is root and sapsys, then login as user root

Do the following

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run

chown sidadm:sapsys sapuxuserchk

chmod 755 sapuxuserchk

Then logout and login as user root

su root

Run saproot.sh as below

# saproot.sh <SID>

Your procedure is correct . You need to update the kernel in the /sapmnt/<SID>/exe directory. Then the sapcpe would copy the newer executables to the instance the instance specific directory.

Can you check the environment variables of <sid>adm on the CI and DI server . Check the NLS_LANG variable.

Also update the NW 7.11 kernel to the latest patch available.

Also are you using the same version of oracle instant client on both CI and DI ?

Please paste the output of R3trans -d on both CI and DI here .

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

we have checked the Env variables for SIDADM user on CI and DI both and they are ok.

NLS_LANG is pointing the same value as in other systems.

R3trans -d is giving the error missing codepage file information in dboraslib.o. on DI

R3trans -d on CI is returning 0000.

Can you just temporarily change the DIR_LIBRARY value to /sapmnt/<SID>/exe of <sid>adm and run R3trans -d in the same session and see if that succeeds.

Also check the ouput of locale -a on CI and DI.
