SAPInst error related to <sid>adm user creation

Former Member

Hello,

I am doing SAP Netweaver 7.0 Installation (ABAP+JAVA) Stack.

The SAPInst completed the below 2 phases successfully. It errorred out in the 3rd phase, with message "Unable to modify account user="cmeadm" uid="3141"." as seen below. Can you let me know what is the cause for this error?

Please note that, surprising thing is, as seen below, it says cmeadm uid 3141 exists with parameter description.

Then in later below lines, it says

FSL-05014 Command '/usr/sbin/usermod' with parameters '-c "SAP System Administrator" cmeadm' failed with return code 6: UX: /usr/sbin/usermod: ERROR: cmeadm does not exist.

Why is it saying the cmeadm does not exist, when SAPInst confirms that it exists in the above line and in the below log file.

1- Check Solution Manager key -> SUCCESS

2- Install JCE Policy file -> SUCCESS

3- Create users for SAP System. - > ERROR seen below.

NIS is not running

.

Unable to modify account user="cmeadm" uid="3141".

Failed action: with parameters

Error number 211 error type SPECIFIC_CODE

Thanks!

Hi,

what is output of command:

cat /etc/passwd | grep cmeadm

Are you running sapinst under root user?
