SAP Database installation on Oracle ASM database

[#1]

Hi Experts,

I have successfully installed the oracle software 11g of oracle ASM database and its been installed as per my previous oracle softwares with oracle:oinstall user and group.

Now I am installing the DB instance before that I am performing ASM preparation. As a part of that I have choseen the general options ->

oracle-> DB tools->

RAC/ASM/EXadata database isntance preparation ABAP - Kernel 7.4X ->

Database identification section given the new DB sid and selected the single instance on Oracle ASM ->

DB administration (OS User) password given ->

home directory somehow choosen as /home/orasid - but changed manually it to /home/oracle/ but we do not have any user called orasid in server. we have only oracle and sidadm of system.

we have started installing with root user but really wondering how it got it picked up orasid. 

Apart from this in SWPM Sp08 there is one option to choose to install with orasid/oracle - so we can choose with oracle but in SWPM SP17 there is no option such like this.

We cant use SWPM SP08 as we need Kernel 7.4X which was not appearing in SWPM SP8.

Kindly suggest me here ?

Your kind help much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Pavan,

This maybe hard coded in the installation tools.

Can you please attach the sapinst.log, sapinst_dev.log?

By the way please also check whether there is higher swpm version than yours available. If there is, please try the latest one.

Best regards,
James

Hi James,

Thanks for your response. We gone through this step by changing the /home/oracle directory permission to 777.

Unfortunately some of the env variables are update with orasid:dba permission.

we are bit worried about other systems are already installed in this landscape. Does it contain any impact of the systems ?

We are planning to cahnge it old permissions once the db installation has been completed.

Kindly advice if you forcee any problems?

Thanks

hi Pavan,

If you go ahead installation with orasid, then not only env needs to change, maybe oracle lib permission, ect. need to be changed.

So I would like to recommend to address the root cause. Please share the sapinst_dev.log.

Best regards,
James
