Creating a SandPit enviornment on solaris

34 Views

Ok, Please bear with me.

I'm going to be missing something obvious or subtle here, but i'd thought i'd just ask the question.

I'm in the process of creating a SAP 'sandbox' environment in preparation for a possible upgrade project.

I'm take a clone of our production file system, mounted it on some new hardware, setup the unix users, changed the instance profiles to match the new hardware etc.

Oracle is up and running quite happily. However SAP its self is failing to start.

Even though ALL the profiles, oracle listeners etc have been changed when SAP start-up's it still thinks its running on our production server rather than the 'sandpit' box its actually on, thus fails to start as its 'already running'

When switching the systems over between solaris system, i must have missed out something obvious, i just can't think what at the moment, env variables have all been changed. Oracle is open, mounted and working quite happily, the instance profiles have all been changed.

SAP thinks its open working quite happily, bit isn't, and sap start doesn't show any errors (other than thinking its already running)

i've must have missed something obvious, i just can't think what at the moment

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Bearing in mind, oracle is up and working etc.

Regards

James
