Why do I receive `ERROR: Expected /usr/sap/$SID/SYS/profile/ to be a directory, please set DIR_PROFILE parameter!` even when DIR_PROFILE attribute is set?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We observe the following error in logs even when the DIR_PROFILE attribute for given SAPInstance is configured and resource doesn't start. How to fix this?

    ERROR: Expected /usr/sap/RH1/SYS/profile/ to be a directory, please set DIR_PROFILE parameter!

  • SAP Instance on node fails to start and when the following command is run by SAPInstance resource agent or manually the Instance is not starting.

    # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sap/RH1/ASCS00/exe/ /usr/sap/RH1/ASCS00/exe/sapcontrol -nr 00 -function Start; echo $?
