SAP Kernel update quick guide

Example for a system named S4D:

  1. Extract kernel OS-dependent and independent parts into the same directory:
    SAPCAR -xvf "./SAPEXE.SAR" -R /mnt/DISTR/SAP_KERNEL/777.500/EXTRACTED/ SAPCAR -xvf "./SAPEXEDB.SAR" -R /mnt/DISTR/SAP_KERNEL/777.500/EXTRACTED/
  2. Copy kernel to UC directory (if it’s unicode):
    root>
    yes | cp -rfp /mnt/DISTR/SAP_KERNEL/777.500/EXTRACTED/* /usr/sap/S4D/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64/
  3. Run file permission script:
    /usr/sap/S4D/D00/exe/saproot.sh S4D
  4. Restart system and check:
    su - s4dadm -c "sapcontrol -nr 00 -function RestartSystem"
    su - s4dadm -c "sapcontrol -nr 00 -function GetVersionInfo"
