Hi,

I am installing HANA Server on VMware for Testing, and getting the following error.

Hi

This looks like a fresh installation error

Installation of SAP HANA Database failed

Installation failed

  error installing

   Cannot create instance

    Cannot start sapstartsrv

     Waiting for sapstartsrv failed

The likely cause of this error are as follows:

1) Are you installing as the root user? Does the user have enough privilege for the installation directories

and hostctrl folder?

2) The problem can also be due to incorrect configuration on the OS level (Linux OS...)

After reinstallation and after re-mounting the HANA file system correctly the installation should be

successful

3) It can also be caused be insufficient memory. Please double check and upgrade the memory on your system

4) Upgrade the SAP Host Agent and check the host agent status by running:

saphostexec -status

under /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/

5) The downloaded file is corrupted.  Check the file against the checksum and see if it is the same.

Otherwise download everything again and this time check that all files are present

6) Try with manual installer - hdbinst from the installation directory

Hope this information helps
