Prerequisites

• SAP Host Agent is installed.
• Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) and Kernel installation media are downloaded from http://support.sap.com/swdc),
  for example SL Toolset 1.0 SP16 SWPM10SP10 and Package SL Toolset 1.0 SP16 Kernel 721 for SWPMSP10.
• You have unpacked the SWPM10SP_.SAR .
• You have unpacked the Kernel installation package to the directory where you have also unpacked SWPM (or any of the directories in the directory path of SWPM), because otherwise the sapinst executable does not find the required Kernel installation files
