Can't Start SAPINST in Solaris 10

[Former Member]

Hello experts, I hope you guys can help me on this case... Here it is:

I've been having problems to run SAPINST in Solaris 10 in order to install Netweaver SR2.

I'm working on an HP Proliant ML 350, with processor Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz [64bits]

I'm using j2sdk1.4.2_17, i already exported the variables JAVA_HOME and SAPINST_JRE_HOME to usr/j2sdk1.4.2_17

Sapinst starts Loading, it shows up for a little while and then it disappears and the Terminal shows a crash error.

Here's the output:

# JAVA_HOME=/usr/j2sdk1.4.2_17
# SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/usr/j2sdk1.4.2_17/jre
# export JAVA_HOME
# export SAPINST_JRE_HOME

Hi

Looks like Port 21212 and 21200 is busy or already being used.

execute -> netstat -a | grep 21212

netstat -a | grep 21200

Try change the port for sapinst eg

SAPinst uses the port 21212 during the installation for communication with the SAPinst GUI. If this port is already used by another service you must start SAPinst as follows:

./sapinst SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number>

Have you set the display variable ?

Thanks
