BO4 Installation on AIX with DB2

Hello,
I hope this is the correct forum in which to pose such a question.
We are currently planning an installation of BO4 on AIX and our standard choice of database platform is DB2 UDB V9.7. I have analysed the numerous SAP planning and installation guides for BO4 but am unclear as to what file systems the installation will demand for the DB2 system. For a traditional SAP AS ABAP/Java installation we would be creating /db2/<SID>/sapdata1-4 but there appears to be no such requirement in BO4.
Is there anyone out there who has performed this kind of installation or who has any useful information? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello,
just create a simple Schema in the Tablespace on any DB2 Database in your organisation you wish. Grant the user full access right to only this schema and your done. Prior for installing BI4 install the DB2 Client on the AIX Host where BI4 gets installed and configure it to access the newly created schema.

SAP ECC 6.0 SR3 Cluster failover not working in AIX with DB2 UDB V9.1 FP6

Hi Gurus,
We have installed the SAP ECC 6.0 SR3 High Availability with DB2 UDB V9.1 FP6 in AIX cluster environment.
After installation we are doing the cluster fail test.
Node A
Application Server
Mount Points:
/sapmnt/<SID>
/usr/sap/<SID>
/usr/sap/trans
Node B
Database Server
Mount Points:
/db2//<SID>
The procedure followed to do the cluster failover:
We have down the cluster on Node A and all the resources of the Node A has been moved to Node B.
On Node B when we issued a command to start the SAP. It says u201Cno start profiles foundu201D
WE have down the cluster on Node B and moved the Resource from Node B to Node A . There the db2 User IDu2019s are not available. We have crated the user Idu2019s manually on Node A. however it did not work.
Please suggest the procedure to start the sap in cluster failover.
Best Regards
Sija

Hi Sija,
Can i have detailed scenario in your cluster configuration.
Means you are saying that going to start cluster package manually, if it is right please make sure that you had the same copy of start, instance profiles of NodeA to Node B. Means you need to maintain two startup, two instance profiles for both nodes. In a normal situation it will picik the profile of node A to start databse from A node. But in a failover situation it will not pick node A profile to start, it should pick Node B s profiles.
Just make a copy from node A and change the profile name accordingly to Node b. Then try to restart.

Installation on AIX and Db2 9

Hi,
I am due to start an upgrade project for 4.7 on AIX and DB2, the originating release of DB2 is 8.2.
But to save myself time I want to use the export of the SAP system to install it on a DB2 version 9 system, using SAPInst.
I know this is a valid operation on a Windows Oracle platform, but was wondering if there any limitations on the DB2 side of things.
TIA
Chris

That does not accomplish anything of what I wanted.
To reduce the complexity of the upgrade, I want to use the import process to facilitate a database upgrade.
What you are proposing is a system copy, and means I will have to do a database upgrade later.
If my idea is not workable then fine, I will do it that way but you have not addressed any of the requirements I have stated in my post.
Thanks
Chris

Oracle installation on AIX with existing instances

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a procedure document which can explain the installation of Oracle 9.2 on AIX platform of a host, where there are 3 instances of DB already existing.
Do I need to run 'rootpre.sh' before I execute runinstaller?
What precautions that I need to take care? I am worries if I do any new environment variables setup that may disturb the existing instances of SAP R/3/oracle.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

see also this SAP note beside the SAP note 98252.

You need to execute rootpre.sh once per host.

Installation Error of SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 HA MSCS on Win2008 with DB2 9.1

Hi,
I am installing ERP 6.0 SR3 HA MSCS on Windows 2008 Ent. Server with DB2 9.1v. In IBM Clustered environment with 2 nodes and a SAN Storage. We are going through the SAP Installation Document.
1. Here my problem is I am not able to install DB2 with the Domain user. and this domain user having all authorization like (domain admin, domain user, administrators...) whenever I executed this command there is no response from system..
Drive:\Dump\DB2_LUW_9.1\WINDOWS_AMD64\ESE\image\setup.exe /i en /u Drive:\Dump\DB2_LUW_9.1\WINDOWS_AMD64\ESE\win_ese.rsp /p c:\db2\db2<SID>\db2_software /m
But the same command I executed in the Local administrator user it is installed successfully.
2. After this I executed this command db2icrtdummy in the Local Administrator, the command was successful then I executed next command
C:\Users\Administrator>db2extsec -a BRPLIND\DB2ADMNS_prd -u BRPLIND\DB2USERS
DB2EXTSEC: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
So I logged out from administrator and logged in with domain user
and executed same command but it given following error

Explanation:
DB2 encountered an error when attempting to read or update the

User Response:
Ensure that the current logon user account has sufficient
authority to access the Windows NT registry of the target
machine. If the problem persists, contact your IBM service
representative for assistance.
so am I going in the correct way or doing any mistake.? from here I am not able to go ahead
Please suggest me to clear this issue.

SAP ECC 6.0 installation in windows 2008 clustering with db2 ERROR DB21524E

Dear Sir.,
Am installing sap ECC 6.0 on windows 2008 clustering with db2.

Best regards.,

Edited by: Manjug77 on Oct 29, 2009 2:45 PM

Hello Manjunath.
This looks like a configuration problem.
Please check if IP_NETWORK is set to the name of your network adapter and
if your IP_ADDRESS and IP_SUBNET are set to the correct values.
Note:
- IP_ADDRESS is a new IP address that is not used by any machine in the network.
- IP_NETWORK is optional
If you still get the same error debug your db2mscs.exe-call:
See the answer from Adam Wilson:
Can you run the following and check the output:
db2mscs -f <path>\db2mscs.cfg -d <path>\debug.txt
I suspect you may see the following error in the debug.txt:
Create_IP_Resource fnc_errcode 5045
If you see the fnc_errcode 5045
In that case, error 5045 which is a windows error, means
ERROR_CLUSTER_NETWORK_NOT_FOUND. This error is occuring because windows
couldn't find the "public network" as indicated by IP_NETWORK.
Windows couldn't find the MSCS network called "public network". The
IP_NETWORK parameter must be set to an MSCS Network., so running the
Cluster Admin GUI and expanding the Cluster Configuration->Network to
view all MSCS networks that were available and if "public network" was
one of them.
However, the parameter IP_NETWORK is optional and you could be commented
out. In that case the first MSCS network detected by the system was used.
Best regards,
Hinnerk Gildhoff

HA Installation of ERP EHP4 on AIX and DB2

Dear All,
I have to do a HA installation of ERP EHP4 system on AIX and DB2. I have followed the standard inst.guide from SAP but I want more information. Can anyone help me in understanding how to go about installing HA in detail. I would be very grateful if anyone can provide me a guide/document of what and how they have done. Can you pls explain me the steps.
I also have few questions
1. Shall i do a Central installation or distributed installation ( meaning CI, ASCS and DB in one server failover to other; CI,ASCS on one server and DB running on different server which in case of failure will move to other server)
2. I know that OS team will do the cluster configuration but is there any other software to be bought for an automatic switchover in case of failures?
3. Mainly, as a BASIS consultant what is our role in HA configuration? What file systems should be defined and nfs mounted?
Request you to take time and answer. Thanks in Advance.
Lastly, i hope this is the right forum. If not , please let me know.

Hi,

I think you did not get basic of HA installation. Its neither central nor distributed installation. You need to install CI and Dialog Instance locally on 2 nodes. DB and ASCS instance on the disk that will move across 2 nodes.
> 2. I know that OS team will do the cluster configuration but is there any other software to be bought for an automatic switchover in case of failures?

OS team will do file system config so that file system having ASCS and DB should move across 2 nodes. And rest of the file system should be local.
After installation making cluster movement automatic both OS and SAP Basis guy have to work together.
> 3. Mainly, as a BASIS consultant what is our role in HA configuration? What file systems should be defined and nfs mounted?

I would say primary role in HA installation is of Basis guy. Because he is the person who will decide what approach will you take to install HA either active-active or active-passive. Its you on whom requirement OS guy will work.

Authorizations for user db2 sid after systemcopy with DB2 V9.7 on AIX

Hello,
I made a homogenous systemcopy from the system PRD to ENT with an redirected restore. I had the following system environment:
AIX 5.3 TL10 SP1
DB2 V9.7 (without any fixpack)
After the restore and the recovery were finished, I was able to start the database manager and to activate the database.
I tried to execute a script for cleanup some tables according to the systemcopy guide but I got the following SQL messages:
SQL0551N, SQL0552N for the user db2ent. I checked the authorization for this user and got the following information:
db2 => get authorizations

The user db2ent was/is in the group dbentadm and the group dbentadm is configured as SYSADM:
SYSADM group name (SYSADM_GROUP) = DBENTADM
SYSCTRL group name (SYSCTRL_GROUP) = DBENTCTL
SYSMAINT group name (SYSMAINT_GROUP) = DBENTMNT
The only solution was to grant the authorizations with an other user to db2ent.
For the restore I created an new instance with the following command (as user root):
/db2/ENT/db2_software/instance/db2icrt -a SERVER_ENCRYPT -s ESE -u db2ent db2ent
I set the correct DBM configuration and created an empty database as user db2ent with the following command
db2 create db ENT on /db2/ENT
The restore was executed with db2 -tvf restore_prd.clp as user db2ent.
Is there a bug in the db2 software or is there any other solution? I did not changed the environment for the user db2ent.
The authorization concept has been changed in DB2 V9.7

Hello All,
I finished restore using redirect method, but i did not know about this security issue.
Now I tried creating db2<oldsid> user and tried granting dbadm secadm priv.
but i get this error
db2 => GRANT DBADM to USER DB2P60
DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a
valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned:
SQL0707N The name "DBADM" cannot be used because the specified identifier is
reserved for system use. SQLSTATE=42939
Please help me.
I need a solution at the earliest possible.
Thanks,
Sree

Hi Krishna,
Please check SAP PAM whether db2 9.7 is supported on Windows 2003 R2.
www.service.sap.com/PAM.
If not, then choose the database version which is supported for Windows 2003 R2.
You may try with db2 9.1 or 9.5 .
