With help from SAP and notes 1870169 and 1611326 I was able get past the error. I was missing the /usr/sap/A11/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/sapjvm_4.1.016 directory in the kernel .
I updated the parm DIR_CT_SAPJVM in the instance profiles with value /usr/sap/A11/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/sapjvm_4.1.016
and created the missing directory /usr/sap/A11/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/sapjvm_4.1.016 I copied the contents of /usr/sap/A11/DVEBMGS32/exe/sapjvm_4 to
/usr/sap/A11/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/sapjvm_4.1.016 When SAP was restarted ,the sapcpe pgm replicated (recopied ) files from /usr/sap/A11/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/sapjvm_4.1.016
to /usr/sap/A11/DVEBMGS32/exe/sapjvm_4.
But before starting SAP, I saved the original contents of /usr/sap/A11/DVEBMGS32/exe/sapjvm_4 just in case, and it turns out I did need to restore it back because of an error I made in copying the files to /usr/sap/A11/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/sapjvm_4.1.016
After SAP started up ok. I restarted with a new run of SUM and it got past the error.
