Apply kernel patches in SAP



*** It is recommended that the /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run directory be copied to /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/backup_run before replacing the kernel ***

1.               Log on to the appropriate server as <sid>adm.
2.               Double check that the SAP instance, SAPOSCOL, and SAP<SID>_00 services are stopped.
3.               To apply the new kernel patch to a R/3 instance, copy the new files into usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run directory.  If prompted for overwrites, say yes to all.
4.               After the new kernel has been copied make sure that the following file ownerships are correct:

All files in /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run   <sid>adm
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/saposcol       root
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/br*            ora<sid>
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/sapdba         ora<sid>

5.               After the successful completion of the kernel patch, you may bring the instance back up and log off the server.
