Installation Package

  • Copy the installation package to the VM
    • The share folder does not work, since we will run Change Mode 777 later
    • Or else there will be 'Access Denied' error
  • Change the packages access as 777, including sub files
 sles11sap:/tmp/sapdvd # chmod -R 777 SWPM
 sles11sap:/tmp/sapdvd # chmod -R 777 51047885
  • If the files were copied to sapdvd folder, run this command
 sles11sap:/tmp # chmod -R 777 sapdvd/
