Symptom
- SUM reports that system start failed in the downtime phase MAIN_UPTRANS/STARTSAP_PUPG as sapcontrol was unable to start an instance, exiting with an return code of 1.
- To confirm you have the same issue examine the Instance.out and Phases.log log files, these logs should show a call to a instance which is incorrect in the context of your current system, such as
- Wrong Instance Number
- Wrong Hostname
- Retired (Deleted) Instance ID referenced
-
