Does SAP make available some where a real procedure
for NetWever 7.0 ABAP stack only KERNEL UPGRADE ?
a lot of people have questions ? answer are even available... but still... even experienced
basis admin having trouble now with Kerne Upgrade
Main line :
stopsap, clean shared memory
stopsap
saposcol -k
ps -ef|grep sapstartsrv
kill <sapstartsrv_pids>
cleanipc <inst_nr>
lsnrctl stop
backup your kernel
cd /sapmnt/<SID>
cp -pr exe exe.001
extract new kernel
cd exe
SAPCAR -xvf <YOUR_DW.SAR>
or
. Login as root
2. Make new backup directory
cd /
mkdir SIDkernel_10102007
3. Create latest kernel backup
cp -pr /sapmnt/SID/exe/* /SIDkernel_10102007
4. Compare the original kernel and the backup
du -sk /sapmnt/SID/exe/ ïƒ 840413 /sapmnt/SID/exe
du -sk /SIDkernel_10102007 ïƒ 841992 /SIDkernel_10102007
5. Make new shadow kernel directory
cd /
mkdir newkernel_175
6. Copy the new downloaded kernel files into /newkernel_175
7. Unpack the new downloaded kernel in folder /newkernel_175
SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXE_175-20000221.SAR
SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXEDB_175-20000223.SAR
8. Login as sidadm
9. Stop the SAP System
stopsap
10. Stop saposcol
saposcol -k
11. Login as root
12. Go to the current kernel directory
cd /sapmnt/SID/exe
13. Copy all extracted support packages into this folder
cp -pr /newkernel_175/* /sapmnt/SID/exe
14. Copy back the original file saproot.sh into this folder.
cp -p /SIDkernel_10102007/saproot.sh /sapmnt/SID/exe
15. Go to the current kernel directory
cd /sapmnt/SID/exe
Then run:
./saproot.sh SID
16. Login as sidadm
17. Start the saposcol service
saposcol
18. Start the SAP system
startsap
AND STILL ... FOLLOWING ALL THE STEPS... I have the work process going down
as soon as i put back old kernel is working fine again
I'm trying to upgrade to :
SAPEXE_179-20000978.SAR
SAPEXEDB_179-20000979.SAR
DBATL700O10_39-20000979.SAR
on an AIX 64 bit with Oracle 10G
Error I'm getting is :
FAIL: NIECONN_REFUSED (Connection refused), NiRawConnect failed in plugin_fopen()
and even the dpmon cannot work
dpmon pf=/usr/sap/H1D/SYS/profile/H1D_DVEBMGS00_dehrdb01
DpMonInit failed - possibly no dispatcher running
So, my QUESTION is : DOES SAP have a detailled procedure to do the Kernel Upgrade on NW7.0
for an ABAP stack only installation ?
