SAPINST issue with ECC 6.0 on Unix

[manish_singh13]

Hi,

I am trying to do installation of ECC 6.0 SR3 on Unix Server (HP-UX 11.31). I have set DISPLAY, JAVA_HOME & SAPINST_JRE_HOME environmen. Also host file entries are correct as below:

Private IP Address <hostname>

Public IP Address <hostname>

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

but there is some issue with sapinst

1. ./sapinst

[==============================] \ extracting... done!

guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host saharah, port 21200 to continue with the installation

It remains at this stage only and not continuing.

Kindly suggest.

Hi.

Check your path to sapinst file.

Whole path shouldn't have more than 64 signs.

Hello Manish,

If you dont think its a port issue then pls check whether data, stack size etc are configured to right value for root user.

Pls try with " ulimit -d = unlimied " .. similaraly you can adjust values for other parameters like stack size etc.

Pls refer the installation guide for more details.

Hope this is useful to you.

Best Regards

Hi,

My DISPLAY parameter is set correctly as xclock is popping up.

I have checked other parameters also echo $<parameters> and everything is set correctly.

Hi Manish,

Do you have host entry added properly in your /etc/hosts file ?

Can you post your environment variable settings ?

192.168.6.11 saharah

82.129.241.74 saharah

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

I am running installation using root user. Also I did installation earlier using same env variables with same user and at that time it got completed successfully. Due to some reasons I had to un-install old installation, deleted old installation directories.

Hi Manish,

Please correct the below things in your ROOTs login profile...

export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/opt/java1.4/jre

and add java path in your PATH variable..

like

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/contrib/bin:/usr/local/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH

Also make sure that either use

export VARIABLE=/path/for/your/variable

OR

VARIABLE=/path/for/your/variable
export VARIABLE

Means, First define variable and then export it...

simple but have you check that the port is not in use by either a failed start of sapinst or another application?

HI manish,

if xclock works, maybe could be a port problem (firewall). You can do some workaround

If you cannont log into the server via VNC, try to log in a server with a similiar subnet, then ssh to the target machine e start the sapinst.

You can also try another port

ex

./sapinst GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=21215

then

netstat -an | grep LISTEN

to see if the default port of sapinst are used.

Hi Juan/Cristian,

I have checked that and found that no other application is using port 21215, even tried sapinst with different port also but it remain stuck at below step

1. ./sapinst GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=21215

I suppose there is a firewall, that doenst allow the traffic on the two standard port (21200 21212).

Can you access on the machine with the VNC?

[manish_singh13]

Hi Christian,

I am accessing Unix server through Windows Desktop..On windows desktop I have installed Exceed, Putty.

I have exported Display to Windows Desktop.

Try to access using the VNC

Is already configured on the server?

Anyway, for an x11, i suggest you to use XMING

Hi,

Just check that on terminal window "DISPLAY, JAVA_HOME & SAPINST_JRE_HOME" these variables are configured and "active"

#echo $DISPLAY
#echo $JAVA_HOME
#echo $SAPINST_JRE_HOME

some time it happens that even though you configure the variables in login profile, it doesn't appear to be active in terminal window. I have faced this problem on some of the servers.

if this is the case, just do "su - root" again and check the variable values.

Make it sure that DISPLAY varible contain IP Address of your client system, not SERVER.

All the best...

Regards.
