When you meet the FindFirstVolumeMountPoint Error...

[Former Member]

Dear Everyone,

I resolved some problems when I meet <b>FindFirstVolumeMountPoint</b> Error during installing SAP NetWeaver 04 SP11(Slim Java Edition (minimized memory consumption)). This solution is not quite nice and, I think, would be temporary. However, if you would like to see the final successful message, it might help you.

First of all, you should open control.xml file under <b><SAP Netweaver install directory>\SAPINST\NT\I386\ADA</b> , then search this sentence, “<b>mounts.updateRow(row, " WHERE FSName='" + row.FSName + "'" );</b>”

And replace

<b>var mount_iter = fmgt.getFSMounts();

while (!mount_iter.isDone()) {

if (mount_iter.get().getFSType() == "LOCAL") {

var row = {"FSName":mount_iter.get().getDriveLetter()};

mounts.updateRow(row, " WHERE FSName='" + row.FSName + "'" );

}

mount_iter.next();

}</b>

With

<b>{ var row = {"FSName":"C:"};

mounts.updateRow(row, " WHERE FSName='" + row.FSName + "'" );

}</b>

Next, search this sentence, “<b>var biggest = ;</b>”

And replace

<b>for (var it = mgt.getFSMounts(); ! it.isDone(); it.next()){

mount = it.get();

if (mount.getFSType() == "LOCAL") {

var drive = mount.getDriveLetter();

if (drive != undefined) {

var mp = mount.getMountPoint();

if (mp && mp.getFullName().length <= 3) {

table.insertRow({mount:drive});

var freespace = mount.getFreeSpace();

if (freespace > biggest.free) {

biggest = {drive:drive, free:freespace};

}

}

numrows++;

}

}

}

if (numrows == 1) {

context.setUnchangeable("sapdrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

context.setUnchangeable("DBDataDrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

context.setUnchangeable("DBRedologDrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

context.setUnchangeable("DBSoftwareDrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

} else {

context.setChangeable("sapdrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBDataDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBRedologDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBSoftwareDrive", biggest.drive);

}</b>

With

<b> biggest.drive = "C:";

context.setChangeable("sapdrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBDataDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBRedologDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBSoftwareDrive", biggest.drive);</b>

The default drive is “C:” drive, but If you want to change the drive, simply change “C” with ,for example, “D”.

I hope this solution help you as if helping me. Good Luck !!!

Hi,

I want to install the SAP WEBAS 6.4 SP15 in F: drive instead of C: drive.

However the control.xml file that i have does not contain the code that you have mentioned in your mail.

I got the first code location you mentioned in your mail but did'nt get the second code location which needs to be replaced.

I did not get the below code line

var biggest = ;

and other code lines related to that.

I have the below code instead of above code in control.xml file

*************

for (var it = mgt.getFSMounts(); ! it.isDone(); it.next()){

mount = it.get();

if (mount.getFSType() == "LOCAL") {

var drive = mount.getDriveLetter();

if (drive != undefined) {

var mp = mount.getMountPoint();

if (mp && mp.getFullName().length <= 3) {

table.insertRow({mount:drive});

}

numrows++;

}

}

}

***************

Could you please let me know how should i modify this to install WEBAS in F: drive.

Or is there any doc which shows how to modify the control.xml file to install the WEBAS in drive other than C:

Let me know your mail id i will send you the control.xml file that i have in case u want.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Harish,

I think you have same problem as me. Even though now I am trying to analyze the control.xml file, unfortunately so far there is no doc or guide to modify the control.xml file.

But, I can give some tips to solve your problem. Please find this code first.

for (var it = mgt.getFSMounts(); ! it.isDone(); it.next()){

mount = it.get();

if (mount.getFSType() == "LOCAL") {

var drive = mount.getDriveLetter();

if (drive != undefined) {

var mp = mount.getMountPoint();

if (mp && mp.getFullName().length <= 3) {

table.insertRow({mount:drive});

var freespace = mount.getFreeSpace();

if (freespace > biggest.free) {

biggest = {drive:drive, free:freespace};

}

}

numrows++;

}

}

}

if (numrows == 1) {

context.setUnchangeable("sapdrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

context.setUnchangeable("DBDataDrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

context.setUnchangeable("DBRedologDrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

context.setUnchangeable("DBSoftwareDrive", table.arraySelect(undefined, "WHERE 1=1")[0].mount);

} else {

context.setChangeable("sapdrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBDataDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBRedologDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBSoftwareDrive", biggest.drive);

}

-

and then should be replaced with

-

---

biggest.drive = "<b>F:</b>";

context.setChangeable("sapdrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBDataDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBRedologDrive", biggest.drive);

context.setChangeable("DBSoftwareDrive", biggest.drive);

-

<b>In my case, I use "C:" drive, but in your case, use "F:" drive.</b> Even though you try this way, if you have still same problem, please contact me.

Hi. Harish,

I received your mail well and looked up the contol.xml file which you send me.

In your case, I think you should replace the code:

-

---

while (!mount_iter.isDone()) {

if (mount_iter.get().getFSType() == "LOCAL") {

var row = {"FSName":mount_iter.get().getDriveLetter()};

mounts.updateRow(row, " WHERE FSName='" + row.FSName + "'" );

}

mount_iter.next();

}

if (mounts.numRows() == 1) {

var unique_drive = mounts.select("FSName", "WHERE ROWNUM=0");

context.set("INDEP_PROG_DRIVE", unique_drive);

context.set("INDEP_DATA_DRIVE", unique_drive);

context.set("SAPDB_DEPENDENT_DRIVE", unique_drive);

}

else {

var client = new ClientMapping();

if (context.get("INDEP_PROG_DRIVE") != "") {

context.setProperty("INDEP_PROG_DRIVE", new Property("CHANGEABLE", "NO"));

context.setProperty("INDEP_PROG_DRIVE", new Property("CONTEXT_PARAM_CHANGEABLE", "NO"));

}

-

---

with the following code.

-

---

var unique_drive = "F:"

context.set("INDEP_PROG_DRIVE", unique_drive);

context.set("INDEP_DATA_DRIVE", unique_drive);

context.set("SAPDB_DEPENDENT_DRIVE", unique_drive);

-

---

I hope this modification help you.
