We checked the permissions but it doesn´t work.

How did you fix the Problem ?

Hi Aidan,

Thank you for such a timely response. I just checked the permissions as your recommended, but it seems that everything is okay for the directories and oraadm and sidadm user and groups...ie sidadm sapsys and orasid dba. The permissions were the same as our other /oracle/SID, /sapmnt/SID, and /usr/sap/SID directories, which all work as well with the drwxr-xr-x.

Anymore suggestions please?

Hi,

Please check if the following document is relevant on your case:

https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IZ29755&wv=1

"GETCWD DOES NOT WORK ON NFS ON AIX 6.1"

Also, please confirm if you have stricly followed the steps of section
of guide:

6.8 Exporting and Mounting Directories via NFS for AIX

Hi James,

Also is there additional error in the the other log files in the sapinst directory i.e. can you upload them for us perhaps?

Hi,

For the error reported check the file permissions below directories inc.
all subdirectories too: usr/sap/<SID>' and '/sapmnt'
'/usr/sap' and '/sapmnt'?

(e.g. in /sapmnt/<SID>/profile/oracle)

Permissions should all be 755 and ownership should be user <sid>adm
and group <sapsys> for '/usr/sap' and '/sapmnt'.

Please also help check the ownership below the '/oracle/<sid>'
filesystem, which should be 755 as well with ownership ora<sid> and
group <dba>.

Additionally please check the group: sapsys and oper, whether they the
assignment of users to the above groups are set according the
installation guide.

Please note sapinst_instdir should be located in local path and not on
NFS mount this can cause similar issues too.

Regards,

Aidan

Hello Aidan,

just to update this "not answered" thread:
I had the same problem and in my case your hint to /etc/group was the helpful one:

• <sid>adm and ora<sid>  need to be in the sapinst group.

Otherwise the problem occurs.

Thanks

Christian
