Hi Bijoy,
Please share more information about point
9) Started SAP resources in cluster, which was not getting started
- Are there any errors in OS syslog about the SAP resources?
- Review / attach sapstart.log, sapstartsrv.log, stderr and dev_disp in /usr/sap/SID/Instance/work folder; probably there are relevant information in them.
You should rather not rename /sapmnt/SID/exe but move its content to another folder (e.g. exe_backup) and extract the new kernel in /sapmnt/SID/exe. Try it this way.
Best regrads,
Adam
