EHP7 ECC6 upgrade: kernel switch issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

I 'm upgarding my EHP6 ECC6 on NW7.31 and kernel 7.20EXT  to EHP7 with NW7.4 and kernel 7.42 U.

i have the error below during KERNEl SWITCH:

I check all soft link before start this phase:

dbg -> uc/hpia64

jvm -> /sapmnt/DM1/exe/jvm

nuc -> /sapmnt/DM1/exe/nuc

run -> dbg

uc -> /sapmnt/DM1/exe/uc

but after the execution of the phase, SUM create another link and stop on error:

dbg -> exe/uc/hpia64

exe -> dbg

exe.old

gen

global -> /sapmnt/DM1/global

profile -> /sapmnt/DM1/profile

src

I need your help to finish this upgrade.

2 ETQ399 Creating sub directory '/sapmnt/DM1/exe/exe/uc/hpia64'.

Check whether there is another exe directory under /sapmnt/DM1/exe

If yes move the sub directory uc one level up and retry.

Hi,

the exe directory is created by SM during phase's execution.

I deleted it each time and SUM recreated it.

I'm tryning to understand this line:

TQ399 Converting kernel directory structure from '/usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe' to '/usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/uc/hpia64'

Normaly: '/usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/run'

Regards

[Reagan]

Check the DM1_DVEBMGS00_XSNH10F603B.PPR log file please as it must have all the parameters listed.

The tool should be cleaning the /usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/run directory and not /usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe shown in the log.

Hi,

here is the first part of this file:

This file is an output of sapfpar commande! that's means that there is an error in profil instance

hi

any other idea?

[Reagan]

I don't see an issue with the amount of information you have supplied so far except the /sapmnt/SID/exe which you claim you have deleted. Apart from that I have nothing more to suggest without having any access to the system. In that case I suggest you to raise a high priority OSS message and see what SAP replies.

[Reagan]

Have you checked this SAP KBA?

Thanks Benjamin,

but a have already checked this note, and all my softlink are correct béfore upgrade.

I'm tryning to understand this line:

Normaly: '/usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/run'

regards,

[Reagan]

I believe they have made it platform specific and that is why you have hpia64 (HP Itanium)

Could you supply the output of these commands?

regrards,

/usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/uc/hpia64 should be a symbolic link to /sapmnt/DM1/exe

First check if there is an exe directory under /sapmnt/DM1/exe and if yes then rename or delete it.

Then switch to dm1adm and recreate the symbolic link.

mv /usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/uc/hpia64 /usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/uc/hpia64.old

ln -s /sapmnt/DM1/exe /usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/uc/hpia64

Also in my system dbg is a symbolic link to /sapmnt/SID/exe and you have dbg -> uc/hpia64

Not sure whether that is an issue here.

Hi,

also fail.

i do not agree that /usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/uc/hpia64 should be a symbolic link to /sapmnt/DM1/exe

/usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/run -> dbg ->uc/hpia64->/sapmnt/DM1/exe/uc/hpia64

so the link is correct and the target is SAP kernel.

>>i do not agree that /usr/sap/DM1/SYS/exe/uc/hpia64 should be a symbolic link to /sapmnt/DM1/exe<<

Agree, but atleast in my system (AIX) it is like that and works.

Again, do you have anything under the /sapmnt/DM1/exe directory?

If there is another exe under /sapmnt/DM1/exe then it could be the problem.

You will probably need to go directory by directory to verify it.
