Installation guide

As a general requirement, the SAP parameter es/implementation must be set to "std" in the

SAP DEFAULT.PFL file. See SAP Note 941735. The SAPInstance resource agent cannot

use the AUTOMATIC_RECOVERY function for systems that have this parameter set to

"map".

In the START profiles, the parameter SAPSYSTEM must be set (default since 7.00).

6.1.5.5 Before Starting the Cluster

An empty work directory (/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance><Number>/work) of an SAP instance

results in a monitoring error of the SAPInstance resource agent. Every instance must be

started manually in order for the correct entries to be written to the work directory. After a

manual shutdown of the instances, the cluster is ready to control them.

Remember that the virtual IP addresses for the SAP instances you wish to start must be

active. They can be started manually (e.g., with the Linux command ip) and then stopped

again after shutting down the SAP instances.
