The new setup preferred by _SAP_ is, that you use the saphostagent. This new menthod gives you the following benefits (you might not need today) 1. Support for DB only on a server and Java (only) Instance on an other server (this is currently not working, because in that case the bootstrap files are missing at the DB server) 2. Support for Sybase (you can only control the "old" set of databases like DB2 (older version than 10), MaxDB and Oracle 3. You use the more generic DB Interface written by SAP and the DB-Vendors, so the resource agent does not need to take care about specialities of database but could concentrate on the SAP specific control of the database The setup with saphostcontrol is documented by SAP and out of scope of the documentation of the resource agent, because its "SAP land" and they could/should describe that. For the resource agent the only change is, that the warning disappears. If you do not find the SAP docu (SDN, installation guides) about this topic I could try to sent you an URL, but as it is SAP documentation it could be that you need a SAP marketplace login for that. >> >> >> The former version is still supported (and working, I trust). Yes with at least one limitation: For Java (only) workloads the there must be at least one Java instance installed on a node, where DB should be able to run (the bootstrap files of the java framework are needed for monitoring the database). >> >> >> When you get a chance, you should install the SAP host agent as >> per the reference SAP note.

Which error? Could it be a license problem? A standard SAP license applies to one Hardware-Key only - your SAP consultatnt should be able to solve this. > > as a workarround, we stopped the SAPInstance from the cluster, let > the cluster runs/start the other resources(IP, File Systems, and > SAPDBInstance) and then manually started the SAPInstance(via sap > way): > > startsap -i DVEBMGS00 -v pgtprd This should not be needed - there must a something wrong - which error message did you get when SAPInstance was controlled by cluster and you login via SAPGui? If you get a SICK message about 3.0 kernel please update to a current SAP Kernel (I could provide the SAP Note number if needed).
