Hello

Iam getting the following error when i try to upgrade the DB on SLES Linux 10 64 bit:

Checking upgrade...

Checking mmap support...

Finding migration strategy...

Looking for running instances...

Checking paramfile modifications...

Database is not a HA-NSR DB. Performing standard upgrade.

Value of MCOD-Parameter is NO

--> Please refer to the protocol file:

I am using the correct software and have done previous upgrades and patching before without any problem.I have read somewhere where it says the problem is with  my hostname as stated in SDBINST script but it`s less than 13 characters.

Anyone who has faced this problem before? or work around?

Any ideas are welcome

Hi Mudzingwa,

Is it possible to change the hostname to 8 characters. The MaxDB SDBINST script checks the hostname and truncates it to 8 characters, causing the error.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kori ,i thought there was a patch or work around somewhere to avoid the hostname change but i dont have any choice but to change it.

Thanks
