I have installed sap server 7.51 on ubuntu virtual machine (vmware). Installation was successful but when I run start I get the following error:
ubuntu:npladm 1> startsap all No instance profiles found please send the tracefile /home/npladm/startsap.trc to support
I typed ifconfig and got the following:
ens33: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.234.130 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.234.255 inet6 fe80::e152:4277:1c5f:3311 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:0c:29:9f:48:53 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 1739 bytes 1139138 (1.1 MB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1406 bytes 145716 (145.7 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 5009 bytes 1102113 (1.1 MB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 5009 bytes 1102113 (1.1 MB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
I checked that the ip address in the host file is correct as in:
cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ubuntu
# mapping the Ubuntu loopback IP 127.0.1.1 to ubuntu
192.168.234.130 ubuntu ubuntu.dummy.nodomain
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ubuntu
# mapping the Ubuntu loopback IP 127.0.1.1 to vhcalnplci
127.0.1.1 vhcalnplci vhcalnplci.dummy.nodomain
As you can see the ip adress should be correct (192.168.234.130) and is pingable but it is still not working.
Update:
Here is also the trace log file:

Any other ideas about the error and how to resolve it? Thanks.
