SAP HANA software installation

Contributors

This section describes the preparation necessary to install SAP HANA on single-host and multiple-host systems.

Installation on single-host system

SAP HANA software installation does not require any additional preparation for a single-host system.

Installation on multiple-host system

Before beginning the installation, create a global.ini file to enable use of the SAP storage connector during the installation process. The SAP storage connector mounts the required file systems at the worker hosts during the installation process. The global.ini file must be available in a file system that is accessible from all hosts, such as the /hana/shared file system.

Before installing SAP HANA software on a multiple-host system, the following steps must be completed:

  1. Add the following mount options for the data LUNs and the log LUNs to the global.ini file:

    • relatime and inode64 for the data and log file system

  2. Add the WWIDs of the data and log partitions. The WWIDs must match the alias names configured in the /etc/multipath.conf file.

    The following output shows an example of a 2+1 multiple-host setup in which the system identifier (SID) is SS3.

    stlrx300s8-6:~ # cat /hana/shared/global.ini
    [communication]
    listeninterface = .global
    [persistence]
    basepath_datavolumes = /hana/data/SS3
    basepath_logvolumes = /hana/log/SS3
    [storage]
    ha_provider = hdb_ha.fcClient
    partition_*_*__prtype = 5
    partition_*_data__mountoptions = -o relatime,inode64
    partition_*_log__mountoptions = -o relatime,inode64,nobarrier
    partition_1_data__wwid = hana-SS3_data_mnt00001
    partition_1_log__wwid = hana-SS3_log_mnt00001
    partition_2_data__wwid = hana-SS3_data_mnt00002
    partition_2_log__wwid = hana-SS3_log_mnt00002
    [system_information]
    usage = custom
    [trace]
    ha_fcclient = info
    stlrx300s8-6:~ #

    If the Linux LVM is used, the required configuration is different. The following example shows a 2+1 multiple-host setup with SID=FC5.

    sapcc-hana-tst-03:/hana/shared # cat global.ini
    [communication]
    listeninterface = .global
    [persistence]
    basepath_datavolumes = /hana/data/FC5
    basepath_logvolumes = /hana/log/FC5
    [storage]
    ha_provider = hdb_ha.fcClientLVM
    partition_*_*__prtype = 5
    partition_*_data__mountOptions = -o relatime,inode64
    partition_*_log__mountOptions = -o relatime,inode64
    partition_1_data__lvmname = FC5_data_mnt00001-vol
    partition_1_log__lvmname = FC5_log_mnt00001-vol
    partition_2_data__lvmname = FC5_data_mnt00002-vol
    partition_2_log__lvmname = FC5_log_mnt00002-vol
    sapcc-hana-tst-03:/hana/shared #
    Using the SAP hdblcm installation tool, start the installation by running the following command at one of the worker hosts. Use the `addhosts` option to add the second worker (sapcc-hana-tst-04) and the standby host (sapcc-hana-tst-05).
    Note The directory where the prepared global.ini file is stored is included with the storage_cfg CLI option (-- storage_cfg=/hana/shared).
    Note Depending on the OS version being used, it might be necessary to install Python 2.7 before installing the SAP HANA database.
    sapcc-hana-tst-03:/mnt/sapcc-share/software/SAP/HANA2SP5-52/DATA_UNITS/HDB_LCM_LINUX_X86_64 # ./hdblcm --action=install --addhosts=sapcc-hana-tst-04:role=worker:storage_partion=2,sapcc-hana-tst-05:role:=standby --storage_cfg=/hana(shared/shared
