KERNEL UPGRADE :
It is the process of deleting the current Kernel
release executables and replacing with new Kernel release executables.
Ex: Kernel Release 745 to 749

Step 1 :
 Check the kernel release version
From OS level (disp+work)
Login to your Mobaxterm or Putty ,then follow the below commands.

Or
From Application level , login to your SAP System go to System tab
>>Status >>Other kernel information there you can find the Release
version.

5. IGSHELPER_XXX.SAR
Step 3 :
 Take the backup of Existing Kernel Release (745)

 For taking the backup make a folder in Oracle(In my case space is


available in Oracle).

Step 4 :

Step 5 :
 Go to the Global location(sapmnt/SID/exe/uc/linuxx86_64) copy present
kernel Executables(745) to newly created folder
(Oracle/backup_upgrade745)

Step 6 :
 Delete the present kernel executables in global location
Before deleting the kernel executables check whether the executables
are copied(if not repeat the Step 5)

Step 7 :
 Give permissions to the upgrading file
chmod -R 775 file
chown -R sidadm:sapsys file

Step 8 :
 Switch to your system
 Go to upgrading file location >>> Extract the SAR files using the
Command( SAPCAR -xvf file)
Step 9 :
 Copy the Extracted SAR files to Global location
Step 10 :
 Execute the “./saproot.sh<SID>” in root location
 Saproot.sh script to configure the ownership and permissions of some
kernel files, including saposcol.
