Hi all,
I am fully aware this issue has been covered, but I will outline exactly which steps I have followed and if anyone has any other suggestions, they'd be appreciated.
We have 3 systems (R/3, BI and Portal) running on a server. We rebooted the server recently, and now the R/3 system won't start up again. I can start up the BI and Portal without a problem, but when I start the R/3, it fails with the following error.
vrdadm> startsap

I have made sure the kernel is at the latest patch level, and I have restarted the server, so using cleanipc is unnecessary.
The WORK directory is not being updated with useful files, as I don't think the startup gets that far (dev_w0 etc).
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
thanks.
