Hi guys,
Our target landscape is as follow (distributed): 1 TREX instance (Master index server) in 1 server, and another 2 TREX instances in a second server.
I was able to successfully install the master index server in the serverA, and now I am currently installing one of the two TREX instances in serverB.
I have made the global file server (serverA's usr\sap\<sid of TREX A>\SYS\global) as shared. I was able to access this directory from serverB, and from serverB, i run the following file to install the instance:
\\serverA\usr\sap\TXA\SYS\global\trex\install and executed the file addInstance.cmd, but i encountered the following error:

see also logfile: \\serverA\usr\sap\TXA\SYS\global\trex\install\addInstance_serverB\addInstance.log
I want to install the second instance in serverB in drive E. From the logs above, it is directly installing the second instance in drive C. how can i change this?
also, our server is a virtual server. i need the instance to use the virtual hostname instead of the real hostname. How can I do this.
Please advise.
thank you.
