Installation of SAP HANA Cockpit failed on HANA express sps04

[petterhuseby]

After a long time the HANA express sps04 installation failed during installation of SAP HANA Cockpit. I will attached the log and the result of the command: xs display-installation-logs 4181 -scv. And hopefully someone can take a look at it to find the root cause.

Thanks in advanced 🙂

HI Petter,

Can you please elaborate on where you're installing this? Is this a binary install? On which platform/OS? Is this an upgrade? Which other components are you installing/upgrading? WHat is the exact error (log2.txt is not saying anything relevant and hdblcm doesn't seem to have the intended content)

Thanks,

Lucia Subatin

You need version of python 2.7. Opensuse Leap 15.x have default version 3x in path /usr/bin. Install python2 with Yast and check symlink and version in dir /usr/bin is created

python --version

/usr/bin # py

pydoc pydoc3 pydoc3.6 python python2 python2.7 python3 python3.6 python3.6m pyvenv pyvenv-3.6

/usr/bin # python --version

Python 2.7.17

In my installation of opensuse, python was not installed at all.

So, I installed it, checked with "which python" as root and it worked.

Did some more "digging" and I found out that since install_hsa.sh must be executed by root the python fails to runs since root don't have the python in the PATH variable. So I suppose I have two chooses: Make new variables to root, or make hxeadm a root user.

Sinse the installation script seems to be buggy or needed python, I manage to use Lifecycle manager to install Streaming Analytics and AFL but APL failed. I have attached the log from SAP_AFL_SDK_APL.log

Here is the out from running install_hsa.sh

hana2:/tmp/HANA_EXPRESS_20 # ./install_hsa.sh Enter SAP HANA system ID [HXE]:

Enter HANA instance number [90]:

Enter local host name [hana2.skye.no]:

Hi Lucia

This is a binary install on Open Suse Leap 15.1. Running on a Intel nuc server with 32 GB memory.

I did some testing yesterday and I can see the installing runs ok with HANA db and the XSA application server. When I try to install SAP HANA smart data integration manually I get error when I enter the password for HXEADMIN. It says that it's wrong. Could be some problem or compability issue with the installation script for Streaming Analytics(install_hsa.sh) It seems that this is the code that fails on Suse linux, I have make the line that I think is causing the problem as bold. It says Python, is it to that I need to install python on SUSE to get this to work?

# Check local OS user password

# $1 - user/login name

# $2 - password

checkLocalOSUserPwd() {

local user=$1

local passwd=$2

local shadow_hash=$(grep "^$user" /etc/shadow | cut -d':' -f2)

if [ -n "$shadow_hash" ]; then

if [[ ! "$shadow_hash" =~ \* && ! "$shadow_hash" =~ \! ]]; then

local algo=$(echo $shadow_hash | cut -d'

local salt=$(echo $shadow_hash | cut -d'

local allsalt="\${algo}\${salt}\$"local genpass=`python <<EOF import crypt,sys print crypt.crypt("$passwd", "$allsalt") EOF` if [ "$genpass" == "$shadow_hash" ]; thenreturn 0 else echo echo "Invalid password." echo fi else return 0 fi else echo echo "User \"$user\" does not exist." echo fi return 1 } -f2)

I tried a new installation, and choose to only install all the comonent and not the addons, and the installation went ok.

Maybe the error came from SAP HANA streaming Analytics, or SAP HANA smart data integration or SAP HANA external machine Learing Library or automated predictive Library. I will try to do a new installation without SAP HANA streaming Analytics and SAP HANA smart data integration, and see if that works ok.

Hi Kaushik

Thanks for links .-)

I manage to get further by doing the following steps:

1. Uninstall of HANA
2. Reboot
3. Installed e few recommended updates on SUSE
4. Added a entry to domain search list.
5. Start the installation again.

The cockipt was installed, but after that the installation ended with the following messages that was repeated endlessly, have you seen this before?
