SAP Hana not starting after upgrade (localsecurestore not starting up)

[Vero_Levin]

Hi,

After an upgrade of our HANA from 2.00.081 to 2.00.083 the HANA does not start up correctly. When running HDB start I can clearly see that all components are starting up and are working fine except localsecurestore. I not able to access the database using HANA studio, the startup process never finishes. The main error I encounter at the daemon log file are:

Daemon.cpp(00756) : Found terminated and planned instance 0 of program 'localsecurestore'

This line is always popping up every 30 seconds in the logs as seen above.

I have found another post with this issue, but no solution was posted.

Anyone has an idea of how to solve this?

I have opened a case with sap but have not got an answer yet.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Regards,

Hi,

It looks like the localsecurestore service failure is what’s blocking your full HANA startup after the upgrade.

This usually happens because of one of these issues:

• Corrupted secure store (SSFS) files.

• Wrong file permissions on the secure store.

• Disk space issues on the server.

Here’s what you can do

1. Check the SSFS files under $(DIR_GLOBAL)/hdb/security/ssfs/.

   • Confirm that SSFS_HDB.DAT and SSFS_HDB.KEY are present.

   • Check that they are owned by the <sid>adm user and have correct permissions (typically 600).

2. Check disk space:

   • Use df -h to make sure your /usr/sap/ and related file systems have free space.

3. Check traces for more clues:

   • Look at daemon_trace, nameserver_trace, and indexserver_trace files.

4. If files are corrupted:

   • You might need to restore the SSFS files from a backup if you have one.

   • If not, SAP Support will likely need to assist you to recreate or recover it safely.

Since you already raised an SAP case, keep it open. if it's a deeper SSFS corruption or version-specific issue with 2.00.083, they may also provide a patch or fix note
