HANA Upgrade / Lifecycle Manager not installed / installable

  • 772

At the moment I try to install HANA SPS 11 on top of SPS 9 (upgrade)

HANA was installed by a co-worker who is not with the company any more.

First I tried to do the Upgrade via Eclipse -> right click on System (Multitenant logged in as User System on System DB) -> Lifecycle Management -> System Lifecycle Management -> Check for SAP HANA Compoments Updates

Then I get the Message "Could not detect the installed components on system HDB." (not sure if HDB means HANA DB oder the tenant HDB)

As a result I tried to update from command line (via SSH). There seemded to be a problem with the lifecycle manager. So I checked and to my surprise there was no HANA lifecycle Manager installed.

Tried to install the lifecycle manager which complained that no Host Agent was installed. So I installed the latest Host Agent (7.21)

**Now the Installation of Lifecycle Manager aborts with a message that the patch level is too low! :

    # hana_lifecycle_manager/hdbinst 

SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager installation kit detected.

  1. Since I asume that the issue is a Bug I fixed it with a work-around:

    renamed /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexec -> /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexecOrg

    created a script and called it /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexec

    Script Content:

    if [ "$1" = "-version" ]
        then echo "*************************** Component ********************
