[Former Member]

Hello guys.

I'm trying to Install SAP Netweaver 7 SR3 into a VM with RHEL5.4 and I'm getting the following issue with SAPINST:

Z1T1BRPAVTD07, port 21200 to continue with the installation

The SAPInst GUI starts and show me a message saying that it's not possible to connect to the Server.

I've checked:

- Libraries installed according to the Installation Guide

- Java SDK version (it is a litlle bit old (_19 ... current is _31), but should work, right?

- SWAP and Kernel parameters

- Port Connection (netstat -an shows that the port 21212 has a listener)

According to your logfiles you have a 32bit Java (for Linux x86) but you're running an installation for a 64bit Linux (x86_64). This doesn't work.

For Linux x86_64 you need the IBM JDK, not the Sun JDK. Sun doesn't provide a JDK for 64bit Linux on x86_64 (only Itanium).

See

Note 1172419 - Linux: Supported Java versions on the x86_64 platform

Markus, thanks for your reply.

I'm now using the SAP JVM 4 for Linux x86_64 and, after some additional steps, the SAPINST is working file.

1) Update JAVA RunTime to SAPJVM_4 (for Linux x86_64)

2) Updade Hostname to lowercase

3) Upgade /etc/hosts

4) ./sapinst -nogui

5) ./startInstGui.sh -host <hostname>

The SAPInstGui started directly by SAPINST was not working..

Did you logon with root to the terminal where you started sapinst? If not (using 'su') you have to set the DISPLAY variable plus telling the X-Server using 'xhost+' that connections are allowed.

I logged on directly with root.
