Not able to start MaxDB database.

Question

Hi,
While creating other blank MaxDB database and we changed some permissions on /sapdb...Now we are not able to revert back those original permissions for the files in /sapdb.
While starting the MaxDB database i am getting error as below,
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli on TBI>db_state
OK
State
OFFLINE
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli on TBI>db_admin
ERR
-24994,ERR_RTE: Runtime environment error
20089,Check knldiag! Kernel died before reaching ADMIN state
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli on TBI>
And also when i check the programs status through sdbregview it says as invalid...Please let me know how to resolve this problem so that i can start the MaxDB database.

Answer 1

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for the reply but when i run SAPINST i am getting only option as below,
Server + Client
Client
Custom
none
I am not able to find the option you told to select "When you then call SDBINST out of this
package, make sure that you select the profile 'all' in the first
dialogue."
I tried selecting the option 2 i.e. Client as reinstall option it has resolved the software problem now it shows as Valid. But still it shows the database kernel status as invalid how to correct the same.
Database Kernel     /sapdb/7704        7.7.04.28     64 bit    invalid
Database Kernel     /sapdb/TST/db      7.7.04.28     64 bit    invalid
Database Kernel     /sapdb/TBI/db      7.7.04.28     64 bit    invalid
And also i tried once again to start the database but getting same error as below;
./dbmcli on TBI>db_admin
ERR
-24994,ERR_RTE: Runtime environment error
20090,Check knldiag! Kernel exited with '0' before reaching ADMIN state
Thanks,
