Checking Disk Space
Use
SAPinst creates the installation directory for the TREX software in the following directory:
● Windows – <disk_drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>
● UNIX – /usr/sap/<sapsid>
Before the installation starts, make sure that there is enough disk space in this directory for the TREX software. For information on the required disk space, see Hardware and Software Requirements.
Procedure on UNIX
Starting Point |
Procedure |
The directory /usr does not yet exist. |
For the directory /usr, select a partition that has sufficient disk space for the TREX software and other SAP software if necessary. |
The directory /usr exists, but the directory /usr/sap does not. |
Choose one of the following options: ● Create a new partition with sufficient disk space for the directory sap. Insert the directory sap into the directory /usr. ● Create the directory sap in a file system that has sufficient disk space. Generate a symbolic link to the directory sap in the directory /usr. |
The directory /usr/sap already exists. |
Go to the directory /usr/sap and check the amount of free disk space by executing the following command. df –k . If there is not enough disk space, proceed as follows: ... 1. Create the installation directory in a file system that has sufficient disk space. You must assign the installation directory the name trx<instance_number>. <instance_number> must match the instance number that you specified during the installation. 2. Generate a symbolic link to the installation directory in the directory /usr/sap. |
Procedure on Windows
On Windows you can choose the target drive during the installation. Use the Windows Explorer to check whether there is sufficient disk space on the target drive.
