sapdat1 too large

[Former Member]

Hi guys ,

Once again i need your expert help.

i am install Database Instance on a HP-UX box (unicode). NW2004 version.

i have already installed Central instance and ORACLE. i am currently at PHASE 22 of 37 CREATE TABLESPACE.

i am gettin an error:

"CJS-00091 Unable to create the tablespaces.<br>DIAGNOSIS: There is not enough free disk space: Mount point | space required | space available | SAPDATA directories /oracle/D10/sapdata1 | 95557 | 86955.5 | 1.<br>SOLUTION: Make more disk space available."

i already have assigned 86GB of space to SAPDATA1 .

i found a solution in one of the notes

"

Error message: Unable to create the tablespaces Symptom:You get the following error message during DB installation in sapinst_dev.log:

CJS-00091 Unable to create the tablespaces. DIAGNOSIS: There is not enough free disk space

Solution:

You can skip the step "checkFreeDiskSpace" or you need to make the

following changes in control.xml: 1. search for the string:

this._findMountPointInArray =

function(arr, mountPoint)

{

var mountPointEq =

function(x,val)

{

return x.mountPoint = val;

2. change this string to: return x.mountPoint == val;

3. To skip the step start the sapinst with the option:

sapinst SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true

or search in keydb.xml for the sting "SAPINST_INST_STATUS" and then for

"ERROR" and set it to "OK".

"

But it still is the same.

has anybody come across this problem or know why its doing this.

one more thing i wannted to add the install is adding files all the data in sapdat1, it is not using sapdata2 sapdata3 sapdata4 . Any suggestions.

Thanks a lot,

Ritesh,

You are only deactivating the freespace check. SAPINST, however, still has an issue when it's going to create the tablespace itself.

It's finding 86.955 GB of space, but is looking to create sapdata1 with the size of 95.557 GB. This is only your first datafile as well, so you need to address the overall disk space allocation here. If you adjust for the 95 GB, SAPINST will likely fail on SAPDATA2 if you're using the same mountpoint.

What does 'df' tell you about the /oracle/ mountpoint?

Thanks,
