Linux SAP Installation with uuidd error

[former_member582934]

Hello all,

well I am new on linux and I install a NW 7.01 and ECC 6.00 for the first time. After a bunch of problems the swpm installed me a system.

I managed to log on and the first screen I see is the warning that the UUIDD service is not running.

Used to have problems with my sap, so I try to install the uuidd rpm packages

- uuidd-2.25.1-22.1.x86_64,

- util-linux-systemd-2.25.1-22.1.x86_64

- util-linux-2.25.1-22.1.x86_64)

on my linux via YAST.

The YAST told me that there is no fitting of the uuidd to my linux.

I try the ignore button serveral times, but the uuidd demon can´t be installed (so far).

If I search the YAST with uuid instead of uuidd I find a running :

libuuid1 - Library to generate UUIDs

A library to generate universally unique IDs (UUIDs).

May I ask:

1) uuid and uuidd is not the same - right?

  -> Can I use the uuid for sap purposes instead of uuidd?  If yes, how ?

2) How can I start the uuidd daemon manually?

I extract the rpm package to a local folder and fond some uuidd named files.

Try to run some via Konsole the best I got is:

error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-daemon.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

-> That´s correct. I can't find libsystemd-daemon also.

3) I run the uuidd - cheker provided by SAP and get these results:

./check-libuuid.sh

[ check-libuuid.sh Revision : #22 $ Date : 2015/07/08 $ ]

ERROR: uuidd package: file /usr/sbin/uuidd is not owned by any package

ERROR: uuidd is available, but inactive.

-> jeah !! let´s activate! - But how do I ???

May someone provide me some help?

Thanks.

1 - UUIDD is UUID Daemon

2 - The SAP note 1310037 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11: Installation notes suggests to install the sapconf package which will activate the uuidd service automatically. The command to start the uuidd service is also present in the note which should be run as root user.

Hello,

thanks for the information.

It solved the problem. Sorry I am new in Linux so I simply don´t have the knowledge.

The SAP checker via Konsole says:

uuidd package: uuidd-2.25-7.1.x86_64

uuidd is active.

uuidd is running permanently.

Thank you.

Hi,

To start uuidd you can use command

/etc/init.d/uuidd restart

try this command via root-

service uuidd start

Hello Claas,

The SAP note 1391070 might help you.

Hello Isaias,

well I know the OSS Note (it is posted with the error message) - there I read the uuidd installation.

But the installation of the rpm files don´t work.

And the discription of start uuidd.service via Konsole doesn´t either.

So I don´t kow how to get the uuidd service running.
