2312315 - SUM fails to start an instance in phase MAIN_UPTRANS/STARTUP_PUPG

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
    1. Wrong Instance Number
    2. Wrong Hostname
    3. Retired (Deleted) Instance ID referenced
