SAPinst Error--Phase 2--Creation of User for SAP System

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am installing SOLMAN 7.0 on Red Hat Linux 5 with IBM Java SDK version 1.4.2_10

When I run the SAPinst it gives ERROR in the 2nd phase of Creating users for SAP system.

The SAPinst log file shows as below:-

WARNING[E] 2008-06-07 17:49:28.362

FSL-01002 Unable to create account user="orasmd". useradd: cannot create directory /oracle/SMD (return code 12)

Please suggest and help me in resolving this error asap.

Create the directory and try again.

sapinst did tell you to create several directory (not only this one) - did you do that?

Hi,

Thnx a lot for the suggestion Markus

I have created the directories required.

The SAP installation has started, but now I am getting the message as below during the ORACLE DB Installation phase,when I run the Oracle ./RUNINSTALLER in Bash Unix:-

[orasmd@SOLMAN SAP]$ ./RUNINSTALLER

oracle_stage is not set (OK)

oracle_base is not set (OK)

oracle_home is not set (OK)

oracle_sid is not set (OK)

oracle_home_name is not set (OK)

oracle_inst_group is not set (OK)

from_location is not set (OK)

tmp_netca_file is not set (OK)

tmp_dbca_file is not set (OK)

Working in /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP ...

The environment variable ORACLE_HOME is not set! abort ...

I have set the ORACLE_HOME env variable as below:-

ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/SMD/102_64

export ORACLE_HOME

But I get the same message again as above.

Do we need to set the ORACLE_HOME env variable in the BASH_PROFILE directly??? Coz I heard that if we set it with the Export command then the env is set only for the current instance and not permanently.

If so what is the exact entry I need to make in the BASH_PROFILE???

Rgds,
