Hi Everyone
Thanks for your valuable suggestions and guidance. This issue is resolved by opening the firewall ports.
However, during the last "execution" phase installation is getting stuck at this phase:
instance reached state unknown after having state starting.
FYI... I've already performed following troubleshooting steps:
1. Maintained correct host file entries.
2. Marked the option to use DDIC default password during installation.
3. Tried registering the systems in local security policies.
When I checked the log files, I found out the following error message in the file:
It seems that SAP is trying to hit the DB using windows authentication method (which is not allowed as servers are not in same domain & RDP is also disabled between the servers). However, I'm able to connect to the DB server from APP server (through SQL Management Studio) using SQL authentication method. In addition, I had already configured the SQL database in mixed-mode (SQL + Windows authentication).
Is there any way that we can configure our APP server / SAP software to use SQL authentication instead of windows authentication ?
Attached is the dev_w0.log file
Any advice is highly appreciable.
Regards
Hardeep
