SAP ACC on solaris 10 continers

HI Guru's
I am nobody when it comes to SAP, so sorry for my ignorance. I deal more with OS particularly UNIX. My company is contemplating to adopt SAP ACC 7.1 on solaris containers. The SAP guys told me that SAP ACC can move one container to another machine without any interruption to the service. Which was contradictory to the steps that Oracle gives in container move. As per Oracle documentation, when moving containers from one sever to another we need to halt it and then move the files. I was perplexed when SAP guy told me that ACC can manage it without any interruption. Anyways, I dont trust most of the application support guys on the face value. While searching for the clues I ended up on the end of the internet called SAP Market Place. Looks like SAP documentation is not for free. Hence I had to come to this forum to ask this question. If you guru's can help me and provide me with some documentation then it will be a great help.
thanks

Hi Baba_ji,
From what I understand SAP ACC sees each of the containers/zones as machines (would be the same if they were VMware VMs ,LPARs,LDOMs,vPAR etc) and it does not use the OS container API (eg zoneadm) to move the zone (ie halt/(snap)detach/export/import) the ACC does it itself, moving the appication componets around a number of resorces machines/zones/vm/etc that have the prerequisite environment installed, it does not move the zone per se - it just sees the zones as Solaris machines really
hope that helps a little

here is a (free) link at oracle, shows the zone setup

SAP ACC 7.3 - Start Services

Hi,
We are using SAP ACC 7.3 on NW 7.3 system. As part of i am trying the functionality of Mass Restart or Stop and Start kind of options.
During the Mass Restart it stops dialog servers, CI and database in the order and when it automatically does start it could able to start the database CI kept on trying and finally after 2 hours it is giving up .
Basically when it fails nothing much apart from the error as control failed with error 2.
Is there normally any sort of pre checks to be done at OS level or ACC level to make the start process work ?
Thanks,
Murali.

Hi Naor,
This Stop/Restart option is itseft act as a "Soft Stop/Restart".
For Hard Stop/Restart, there is another option called "Forced Stop/Restart".
Hope this helps.

Installing SAP ERP6 EHp4on Solaris 10 ,oracle 10g

Hello gurus
i am planning to install SAP ERP6 EHP4on SOLARIS 10 Sparc,Oracle 10g
So i have 3 questions that i need a bit clarified although i went thro the inst guide
1.Will the install or sapinst ask me to create the oracle directories and sapdata files?Like the previous versions oracle 9.X.
2.If its not then what is the easiest way to point the installation to install in specfic directories e.g /oracle/SID/log for the log file origs,mirrors,oraachs etc and for sapdatas /oracle/data etc OR it will put them in the SAP standard dir /oracle etc
3.How do i start the patch install soon after the database install not using mopath but where u specify the path to /oracle /stage /10 what is the completecommand line as orasid?(when the installation stop and ask for the DB installation?
any ideas will be greatly appreciated

Hi,
Below are my answers,
--> Always prefereable to create the directories in advance with individual file systems. You have a specific SAP Note for this which will tell you how much sizes you need to keep for SAPDATA and log folders . So always create separate Mount points for individual directories which is a good practice for Unix based systems.
So in this case, Please create the file systems as follows /oracle/SID/102_64 --> For Oracle Home
/oracle/SID/sapdata 1-4 --> For SAPDATA folders
/oracle/SID/origlogA, /oracle/SID/origlogB,/oracle/SID/mirrlogA,/oracle/SID/mirrlogB
Then You can create a separate one for oracle/stage/102_64 or as per your wish.
Once your DB Instance Installation is done, You can define the full path of OPatch/MOPatch in the PATH Env Variable of ORASID so that no need to give it again. you can go to the folder/file where you saved your patch files and apply accordingly.
Hope I contributed my 2 cents.
Thanks,
Jagadish

SAP Install on Solaris 10 Sparse Root Zone ../usr/sap

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone is running SAP on Solaris 10, SAP EHP4 ECC 6.0 Oracle DB version 10. App and Db in a sparse root zone.
When we initially created our SAP install the Directories containing <SID> and trans_<SID> was give to us as "/usr/sap"
Since this is a sparse root zone, the /usr directory is read only. To accommodate SAP, a directory was created in the global zone for each of the containers ( we have ECC, PI, BW etc..) and then mounted as a filesystem in each container. /usr/sap exists in every container, and it was supposed to be nothing more than a mount point for the <SID> and trans_<SID> NFS mounts. This /usr/sap directory exists on the global zone of our M5000 and the additional files and folders are eating up OS space.
This creates me with two problems.
1. WHen I take a snapshot, I can't recover the zone in a automatic fashion because the local zone can not see the global /usr directory, so I have to recover that folder/file manually.
2. I don't know exactly, but files are being created in the usr/sap directory that is causing internal drives to grow quickly.
To resolve our issues it was determined that the best course of action is to remove the connection to the global zone by creating a /sap directory in each container and linking it as /usr/sap. The /sap directory will be an NFS/FC mount point and that will fix the issue of disk space usage and backup recovery.
Does anyone have another way to solve this problem or any suggestions that we should do something different. ?

I use sparse zones on Solaris with ZFS.
I delegate filesystems to the zone.

SAP CI on Solaris Cluster 3.2 AMDx86

Hello,
we migrate from HPUX to Solaris10 x86. On HPUX we run the SAP ERR6 ABAP only on NW7.0 in MC Serviceguard Cluster with Oracle as Database.
On Solaris we use SolarisCluster 3.2. We are know almost at the End with or testsystem HUX on Solaris.
Logicalhostname, Oralcelistener and oracleServer are runnig in HA Cluster. The SAP System starts on both nodes if i start it as <sid>adm, my configered resorce with Type SUNW.sap_ci_v2 starts the SAP System but can not verify that it is startet and ends up with status startup failed after a few minutes.
Under /var/tmp i found a logfile wscon-\:0-4Jai9b
there is the sap startup logged

SAP Java and Solaris Zones SolMan 4.0

May require Solaris Zones experience to continue.
I have three SAP database instances/central instances running in three sparse Solaris zones with no problem.
I have created a new sparse zone for a new SAP installation (Solution Manager 4.0) and started the installation. SAP requires a 1.4.2 SDK even though Java 1.5 comes with Solaris 10. The 1.4.2 SDK is in /usr/j2se. The installation in the sparse zone errors out because it can't get "write" rights to /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/local_policy.jar as it is trying to install some security encryption JCE component.
I have thought about creating a /usr/j2se_zonename file system, copying the contents of /usr/j2se into it and then mounting /usr/j2se_zonename in the zone as a lofs with the name /usr/j2se. However when I do the copy of /usr/j2se I get some recursion errors.
Any thoughts about how to add a writable /usr/j2se into the sparse zone with the least amount of effort ? Otherwise plan B would be to create a "large" zone with a writable /usr directory.
Received a great answer, that while it may not be architecturally "pure" it may get the job done.
You might just download the relevant JDK tarball and unpack that
somewhere in your zone (anywhere you like), and point SAP at it...
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Get the one called "self extracting file"-- you can unpack that anywhere
you want.

Hi Russ,
no you only have to generate two RFCs to your R/3 and assign them in SMSY to for system monitoring
Then you need a Solution, assign your R/3 to the Solution, setup the system monitoring.

SAP ACC 7.2 Doubts

Dear SAPTechies,
We are planning to bring in ACC 7.2 to our non production environment (HP UNIX).
On analysis found that the managed systems are supported since 4.6C
but can anybody tell that what is the supported oracle database versions for those managed system as
we could not find that information anywhere and all we could find is the supported oracle version for ACC installation is 10.0.2.
Immediate response highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Viswanathan Subramanian

Hi Ervin,
The PAM document talks about the supported database version for ACC NW CE (Managing System) only.
But, my question is what is the supported oracle database version level for managed/satellite systems as I can get only the
supported SAP system version information from SAP.

Unable to compile and run SAP/Rfc on solaris: RfcInstallUnicodeStructureU:

Hi All,
After trying a lot I want to post it here as the last chance.
- I have the unicode version of rfcsdk installed at /usr/sap/rfcsdk
- I downloaded and un-tarred saprfc-0.36. I could create 'saprfc.so' without any error.
- I believe the function call 'RfcInstallUnicodeStructureU' used by saprfc.c is located in a library 'librfcu.a'.
sapscp@moe$ strings librfcu.a | grep RfcInstallUnicodeStructureU

RfcInstallUnicodeStructureU
I am able to create the library saprfc.so without any issue but I see the following error when I try to execute test.rb.

Thanks for any help,

1. I do have a library librfcum.so. I guess it's not the one.
I changed the rfcum to rfcu in ext/saprfc/extconf.rb and reran clean;config;setup and install. I still have the issue.
2. Not sure if it's related but I see a warning:
 ld: warning: file /usr/sap/rfcsdk/lib/librfcu.a(rfcilib.o): wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Was wondering if this is related to 64/32 bit issues. There is no 32 bit unicode version. I tried 32 bit non-unicode version of rfcsdk but it starts pumping hundreds of errors like below during the compile time:

3. Probably not related to this issue but I wonder why I see the error about missing libsapu16 though I have libsapu16.so.

Unable to install SAP Netweaver 2004s in Solaris x64

I am trying to install SAP Net2004s in solaris x64 and it has JDK1.6.
For some reason the SAPINST keeps giving error "JDK version 1.5.0 and above is not supported by SAP.
I downloaded and installed j2sdk1.4.2_24_b06 as per note 716604.
Created environment variable as
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24
now if i execute java -version, again it is showing as Jdk1.6
which java
/usr/bin/java
i am able to execute xclock.
I renamed the softlink in /usr/java to java.old and created new one as /usr/java pointed to /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24
after this if i execute java -version, it gives an error "Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object"
Now i checked the java executables, it is located in /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin/amd64/ (all java executables)
Now i set the env PATH /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin/amd64 before the variable /ur/bin/java
I tried creating env as "export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/amd64". But no luck.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me to pass through this error.
Thanks in advance.

install a fresh JDK just need 64 bit version
and set the environment variables accordingly,
i did install java64bit and out put java -version is j2sdk1.4.2_24 64bit
created env
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2dsk1.4.2_24
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/opt/j2dsk1.4.2_24
export DISPLAY=XXX:0.0
able to execute xclock
But got the same error when i try to execute ./sapinst
error "GUI not Connected......."
i wonder that in java 64 bit,the executables are located in /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin/amd64/(all java executables)
but when we execute ./sapinst, it shows as it is searching the executables in /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin
i don't know if that matters.
but just want to let you know that, i was able to get the sapinst gui, when pointing to java1.6 version, but unfortunatly sap won't support above java1.5.
path of java1.6 executables - /usr/jdk/jdk1.6../bin/(all java executables)
Please help me resolving this issue.

Solaris/SAP Memory Analysis/Audit

Experts,
We have a landscape that is only a couple of years old, but seeing some paging and buffer issues. We are running in a solaris/Oracle environment, and I was wanting to do some memory analysis, or a memory audit to make sure that we had everything configured correctly.
Memory is not really my stong suit, so if any of you have some handy resources that you dont mind sharing, I would like to research and better understand.
Our Prod Landscape is this:
Sun e2900 (#1) 8cpu (multicore) 64g
Global Zone - Ecc 600 ASCS /Oracle 10.2 Cluster (Slave)
Local zone - BI 7 CI+DB
Local Zone - XI 7 CI+DB
Sun e2900 (#2) 8cpu (multicore) 64g
Global Zone - Ecc 600 ASCS /Oracle 10.2 Cluster (Master)
Local zone - ECC CI
Qty 3 - Sun V490 (#1, #2, #3) 4cpu (Multicore) 16g
Global Zone - OS only
Local zone - ECC APP
Local zone - BI APP
Local zone - XI APP
I have the performance tuning book, and have been studying up on buffers and parameters. But first mainly looking to research how memory is assigned, where, and determine if any changes need to be made, or there is memory room to increase buffers.
Thank you.
Phillip

Apologies. I was struggling with how exactly to articulate the question. And even more with how to go about determining where we are with our memory both inside and outside of SAP. With Solaris you have Zones (containers), projects, oracle, sap, user environment settings, etc. All of which have an impact on memory, either from consumption, or limitation of memory (projects and user environment settings.)
I have looked at ST02, and we do see swaps of greater that 10k, however, before increasing the buffers, I'm trying to determine what memory we have available, and where the current memory is being used.
Our response times are not absurd. We hover around 800 - 1000 ms. Our CPU is average less than 15% util. But I think there is room for improvement/tuning on our memory and buffers, because performance does degrade over a period of weeks without an app restart.
Thank you for your response, and the help link. I am reviewing it now.
Best Regards,
Phil May

Patch Requirements For Solaris 10 x86_64 (10/08)

Hello All;
We are about to begin testing the use of installing SAP Netweaver onto Solaris 10 x86 (10/08). I have seen SAP Note 908334 and it describes use of a prior older version of Solaris 10 x86 (01/06). Can anyone tell me if newer versions of the patches described in this SAP note are included or need to be added later?
Many Thanks
David L. Black

You can check using
showrev -p | grep <patchnumer>
if the patch is already installed. Most likely this is the case for the version you use so there's no need to update any patches.
However, it's always a good idea to keep the system up-to-date, especially if you plan to use ZFS as filesystem.
I use "pca" to update our systems (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/) - much easier to handle than "Solaris Update connection" - and fewer problems.

Solaris 10 on SPARC

Dear All,
Could someone provide me with the information as what are the prerequisite to go ahead with the installation of SolMan 4 and ERP 2005 SR2?
I have just downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2-solaris-sparcv9[1].tar and want to continue with the installation?
Please suggest?

Yes.. just saw it - it points to the homepage.
Neverless, an HA setup is also covered in the normal installation guide, they have special sections in each chapter what differs from normal setups.
There are various scenarios how you can set up the cluster (scalable, failover). A good document is also the "Sun Cluster Data Service for SAP Guide for Solaris OS" at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0696?l=de.
Also check note 961762 - Sun Cluster support for SAP systems
(I know, a LOT of spread documentation...)

Performance on Solaris 10 - Operating system paging

Has anyone experience performance issues after an upgrade from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 on SAP systems with limited memory?
We have many systems that are on servers with 4 Gig of memory and ran well on Solaris 9. After an upgrade to Solaris 10 we are experiencing very high OS system paging rates. The response times of the SAP systems are very poor when this occurs. It seems to take very little load to cause this.
I realize more memory or decreases in Oracle or SAP memory parms will solve this but am wondering if there is anything on the Solaris OS that could resolve this?
Thanks,
Dan

DISM can be used but in global zone only (according to Sun document "Best Practive for Running Database in Solaris Containers" , the proc_lock_memory privilege which is required to run the ora_dism_ process is not available in non globale zone)
The doc i got is from 2005, so don't know if the Sun recommendations has been updated since then.
In order to activate DISM (if you are in a global zone), sga_max_size should be set up larger than the sum of sga components: db_cache_size, shared_pool_size ...)
Also look for the Sun Blueprint "Dynamic Reconfiguration and Oracle 9i Dynamic Resizable SGA" on http://www.sun.com/blueprints
If you use ISM because in a non-global zone, you can use oracle parameter lock_sga to ensure the SGA is loaded into the RAM and useism_for_pga = true to ensure PGA is loaded into the RAM.
Make sure you have enough RAM to hold filesystem cache (OS memory) , oracle memory, and applications memory
Make sur your PGA and SGA are correctly sized size, since you won't be able to dynamically change the ISM allocation. (see v$shared_pool_advice, v$db_cache_advice, v$pga_target_advice ...)
Take the usual precautions:
- have a successfull backup first
- do the change on a test machine
- and/or ask your vendor before proceeding
Other Doc to read ...
Note 697483 - "Oracle Dynamic SGA on Solaris" (recommends to read Sun doc n°230653)
Note 724713 - parameter settings for Solaris 10, here is an extract :
Only one parameter from SAP note 395438 should remain in file
etc/system
set rlim_fd_cur=8192
As described in SunSolve document 215536, the "Large Page Out Of the Box" (LPOOB) feature of the Solaris 10 memory management, first implemented in Solaris 10 1/06 (Update 1), can lead to performance problems when the system runs out of large chunks of free contiguous memory. This is because the Solaris 10 kernel by default will attempt to relocate memory pages to free up space for creating larger blocks of contiguous memory. Known symptoms are high %system CPU time in vmstat, high number of cross calls in mpstat, and Oracle calling mmap(2) to /dev/zero for getting more memory.
Memory page relocation for satisfying large page allocation requests can be disabled by setting the following Solaris kernel parameter in /etc/system
set pg_contig_disable=1
This will not switch off the LPOOB feature. Large memory pages will still be used when enough free space of contiguous memory is available, so the benefits of this feature will remain

Cannot load program R3SETUP(SAP R/3 46C) on AIX 5.3

While installing SAP R/3 4.6C(64 bit) on AIX 5.3(64 bit OS) we are unable to run R3SETUP file
our Database is Oracle 8.1.7
we are getting following ERROR :
exec(): 0509-036 cannot load program R3SETUP because of the following error:
exec(): 0509-124The program is a discontinued 64-BIT object file
Please HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!
Regards,
Gayathri.

Hi,
Thanks for the INPUTS.
Based on your inputs, came to know from service market (PAM) that Oracle 8.1.7 is not supported on AIX 5.3.
Our Current setup is SAP R/3 46C Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 8. For SAP Upgrade we have planned for IBM AIX 5.3 for ECC6.0 .
Kindly suggest in detail how to go about for Migration of SAP 46C from Solaris to AIX and Upgrade from SAP R/3 46C to ECC 6.0 on Oracle Database
Please suggest at the earliest.
Thanks a TON in advance
Regards,
Gayathri
