sapinst rc 118

[Baboulinet-33]

Hello,

I'm trying to install SAP (ASCS here) via the collection. I have the following error which is not very clear:

{
  "changed": true,
  "stdout": "Extracting...\nExtraction done!",
  "stderr": "/bas/753_REL/bc_753_REL/src/ins/SAPINST/impl/src/selfextract/iauxsysex.c:387: child /tmp/sapinst_exe.58532.1698682332/sapinst (pid 61380) has crashed. Executable directory is /tmp/sapinst_exe.58532.1698682332. Contact Support.",

      "_uses_shell": true,

      "executable": null,
      "creates": null,
      "removes": null,
      "stdin": null
    }
  }
}

The step is on sap_swpm role: "SAP SWPM - Verify if sapinst process finished successfully"

My playbook:

- hosts: all
  become: true
  vars_files:
    - vars/sap-swpm-default-mode-s4hana-distributed-ascs-install.yml
  vars:
    sap_netweaver_preconfigure_fail_if_not_enough_swap_space_configured: false
    sap_install_media_detect_rar_package: 'linux-rar'
    sap_install_media_detect_file_server_only: true

  pre_tasks:
    - name: Include tasks to manage subscriptions
      ansible.builtin.include_tasks: tasks/enable_repos.yml

  roles:
    - role: community.sap_install.sap_netweaver_preconfigure
    - role: community.sap_install.sap_install_media_detect
    - role: community.sap_install.sap_swpm

Thanks

@Baboulinet-33 unfortunately, this is not enough detail to debug from.

First observation, you ran sap_netweaver_preconfigure without first running sap_general_preconfigure.

It looks like you copied the sample-sap-swpm-default-mode-s4hana-distributed-ascs-install.yml file and are using the latest Ansible Collection version (given the newer vars for sap_install_media_detect Ansible Role). We would need to see an approximate copy of the vars used, as the sample is as it's name implies - it demonstrates a scenario and is not intended to be ready-to-execute.

Your error in stderr does suggest this is probably an SAP SWPM problem, sapinst (pid 61380) has crashed is unusual. At a complete guess, it is probably your /tmp has noexec?

Hey, thanks for the reply. The vars used:

the /tmp dir is as usual, maybe SELinux (I suppose the role sap_general_preconfigure configure SELinux) ? I will try with sap_general_preconfigure before sap_netweaver_preconfigure

After some test, /tmp has noexec Thanks for the solution
