Installation or Upgrade of the SnapCenter Plug-in for Unix with SAP HANA fails to run the installer
Applies to
- SnapCenter Plug-in for SAP HANA (SCHANA)
Issue
The installer does not start properly, and despite the following message, the logs directory was not created, and neither was the log:
Installation of the package "snapcenter_linux_host_plugin.bin" failed on the host "<HOSTNAME.DOMAIN>" with ErrorCode:208, error: Verifying JVM.. Installation logs have been placed under the directory "/var/opt/snapcenter/logs/" on the host.
When trying the installation manually, i.e.
- moving the Linux installation file to the Linux host using using WinSCP,
- setting
export LAX_DEBUG=true
and - running the installation file with the same parameters without the silent option,
the following error can be found in the temporarily extracted installation directory:
