HANA DBMS: uninstall.sh fails

[tombo_larsen]

Hi Guys

We are trying to uninstall a SAP HANA system (revision level 41) but the un-installation fails. The last part of the setup.glf installation log file is shown below:

**********

#TRACE#com.sap.lm.decl.isdk.constraints.SystemAlreadyInstalledConstraint#main#Validating if 'BP1' is already installed:

TargetSid: BP1 / SID: [sid], isAlreadyInstalled: null (AllSids: [{[sid]

=false}])

Is given SID 'BP1' ok for installation?: true

**********

The un-installation is being performed with the uninstall script from installation medium with revision 46, running the command as root:  "./uninstall  <TMPDIR>  <SID>"

Anyone else who has experienced similar problems or has any ideas of how to proceed.
