The user oraadm is in the group sdba, but I get the result that appears up.
If I executed with the root user I get this:

Next steps are dependent from the output results.
2. Second posted problem.
On which server did you run those commands?
The list of the database software packages has not /sapdb/ORA/db dependent Database kernel path
=> How did you create/install the ORA liveCache?
I´ve installed the livecache whit the installation guide, with the default paths of the sapinst. Only I´ve change the path of the datafiles.
Please run as root user:
cd /sapdb/programs/bin
./sdbverify
The output of the file sdbverify is more large. What part of the file are you need?
to check if the database software installed correctly.
More thanks.
