    Error checking installation

      Checking minimum memory requirement failed

     Physical memory on this host is 23.580 GB. Minimum required: 24 GB.

        Override memory check with command line option --ignore=check_min_mem

I am trying with this command, but it is not working.

./setup.sh -d /51046696 /tmp/hanainstdir1 setuphana.slmodel --ignore=check_min_mem

Do you all have any idea?

Thanks,

Hi Ruby,

Just use the command ./hdbinst --igonre=check_min_mem and the program will ignore the memory check,But your server don't have enough memory to run the server after your installation.

Hi All,

I had brought the server on rent to install the hana db, but it could not be completed

I had followed below  steps, Pl let me know  if  these were right or wrong

1. I had used hana life cycle management to install, I stuckup at stage "Starting the system" (4th step, sub step 2)

2. how  much time does hana installation takes? ( it took almost 4 hrs) but could not start the system

3. When I used "Top" command, I could see processes with something like (hdbindexserver, hdbpageserver......) was it going on well?

Thanks in Advance

It should take about 5-10 minutes. How much RAM did you have? You need 24GB to do the installation - real RAM, not just allocated RAM.

Hi,

I had 32 GB Ram out of which I had assigned 26 GB to VmWare (Oracle VM)

my command of installtion was

Hana:~/Softare/Data_Units/HDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64 #  server/HanaHwCheck.py &&chmod 755 server/HanaHwCheck.py&& ./hdbsetup

then it opened LifeCycle Management >> reached to step 4 (Installation) >> Create System  (Creating system was done in 5 mins, Starting system took arnd 4+ hrs, but did not do anything)

Thanks

So Oracle isn't supported, but it should work. What Linux are you using? If you're not using SuSe Linux Enterprise Server then you need to set a bunch of settings.

HI,

I am using Linux Suse enterprise server (SLE-11-SP3-SAP-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD.iso)

Then you should be fine. Can you paste the install log? Clearly something is going wrong, need to dig into it.

Hi,

intel i3 processor, 32GB Ram should be ok to install hana DB in Vm ware?

Hello

Just disable the hardware check. This is done using a file called HanaHwCheck.py in the HDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64/server location

Rename the file HanaHwCheck.py and create an empty file called HanaHwCheck.py

Hello,

I tried deleting the HanaHwCheck.py still gave error.

Performing the procedure above informed, the following error occurs:

Can not run program / usr/sap/HAN/HDB00/exe/hdbnsutil:; usr/sap/HAN/HDB00/exe/hdbnsutil: Permission denied

hdbnsutil call failed

You know how to solve?

Thank you,

Hi,

Run this in the HDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64 location:

echo "exit(0)" > server/HanaHwCheck.py && chmod 755 server/HanaHwCheck.py && ./hdbsetup

And it will work.

please guide

Thanks

No, you need a minimum of 24GB RAM. You can get away with 16GB if you disable XS, but you won't be able to load much data.

Hello Ruby,

When it is aborting with in the error log a memory problem. You have continue manually:

51046016/DATA_UNITS/HDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64/hdbinst ­-s [SID] -­n [Instance_number] ­-H [Hostname]  ­--datapath=[paht_data] ­­--logpath=[path_log] ­­--sapmnt=[path_shared] ­­--ignore=check_min_mem

Enter password for hanadm and SYSTEM and accept for the rest default values.

(if it looks that it hangs in the set importing delivery units ­ press enter every 10 minutes

until the prompt returns. happens sometimes)
