Hi there! I'm trying to install the WAS 6.10 Testdrive on a RedHat 9 box.
When I run the "rpm -ivh sapbasis-6.10-1.noarch.rpm" command, I get the following error message: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 23:42:51 initializing database instance WAS (3750MB data, 300MB log) ... database creation failed see dbclient log file /tmp/createdb.sh.4583.log for the db command trace error: %pre(sapbasis-6.10-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping sapbasis-6.10-1 The "/tmp/createdb.sh.4583.log" file has several entries with OK. The ERR starts at the "db_start" command. Everything else then fails with ERR messages. With the first ERR, there's the "Kernel exited with '2297' before reaching COLD state" error message. I used the dbmcli daemon to log directly to SAP DB, and the commands db_start and db_warm give me the same error message (2297). As you may know, this is SAP DB version 7.3.0.15-1. The OS is RedHat 9, my uname -a command returns "Linux athlon 2.4.20-20.9 #1 Mon Aug 18 11:27:43 EDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux" The worst thing is, this error is NOT generating a knldiag file. It was generating one, but as I started to trobleshoot this by myself, it stopped writing knldiag files. There's no knldiag* files at "/var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/wrk/WAS/", and the "find / -name knldiag" returns nothing. I don't know exactly what I did that no more knldiag files are being generated now. So, the problem with knldiag is my first issue here. I think it's going to be impossible to deal with the 2297 error without the knldiag file first. I have tried several other things to solve the 2297 error, most I found on this message board. "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5" didn't work. My /etc/sysctl.conf is like... kernel.shmmax = 4294967296 fs.file-max = 8192 kernel.shmmax was previously 1073741824, but didn't work either. I read that my User Address Size should be more than 3 GB, but I don't know exactly how to do this. My swap partition is 1 GB. My Linux partition is 15 GB (ext3). I even tried to install the WAS 6.10 TestDrive on top of the newer SAP DB 7.4, but with no sucess. Is this possible? I have installed this testdrive several times on RedHat 7.*, but I just can't get it to install on RH9. Thank you very much for the help.
