Hello Experts ,

we are installing sap business suite EHP7 on aix 7.1 with oracle 12c

we already started 2 fresh installation and the installation got stuck in phase 25 [ install instance basics of ASCS## ]

the problem is that there's no error message but at terminal we find

warning (root/sapinst) id=wapsmod.ms.msattachfailed connect to message server (hostname/3901) failed: msenilayer

when i checked /etc/services i found the port 3914 occupied by another service called { listcrt-port-2 }

i searched on how to free that port on aix in order to resume the installation

please guide me with steps as i'm not AIX expert

any reply will be appreciated

Hello,

Is SAPINST popping up any error message ? Can you please check sapinst & sapinst_dev log files.

Please check below note

Thanks,

Hi Yaseer,

I know you are already aware that We ave some reservations for port 3901 & 3902.

AIX Only: If you are using NIM Service Handler (NIMSH), do not use 01 or 02 for the instance number.

SAPinst uses the instance number for the internal message server port 39<instance number>. The NIM

client daemon uses reserved ports 3901 and 3902.

netstat -a | grep 3914 will give you the process holding the port 3914

You can check /etc/services file for the entry of port 3914 services.Also check if there is any process running on port 3914 using below command
ps -aef | grep <process name>

If you are sure kill that process using
kill -9 <pid>

After that try once

Thanks,
