Hi Torben,

I installed with manual installer using hdbinst from /51045150/DATA_UNITS/HDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64/

Try with manual installer. if you get any error, please post the log file.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Singaravadivel

Thanks for returning to me.

We got our problem solved as well with the installation of a non-productive system. We are running in a disaster tolerant scale out solution from HP, were the disaster site during normal operation is hosting the non-productive systems.

The issue was due to incorrect configuration on two of our blades at the non-productive site- here the HANA filesystem was mounted via a incorrect IBRIX node.

Hi

can you please tell me how did you solve that "36% completed] Working on: 'SAP HANA DB (linuxhana.vmhana.com)' ...  --> ERROR " error. I have the same.

when I try to run  ./hdbsetup from HDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64 I get "not enough memory error"

Hi Andrzej Hed,

You need to increase memory on VMware configuration. How much memory configured in VMware.

Hi,

Yes the problem in our case was related to our HP setup where the HANAFILESYSTEM was mounted via the wrong IBRIX node.

Hi

I allocated 11 Gb. it is the max amount VMware allowes me to allocate. Is it enough to install HANA?

[Former Member]

Hi,

It is required minimum 64 GB.
