Below are the requirements for SAP HANA software installation.

Install on single-host system

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

Install on multiple-host system

Note The following installation procedure is based on SAP HANA 1.0 SPS12 or later.

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/SID 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 LVM is used, the needed configuration is different. The example below 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-06) and the standby host (sapcc-hana-tst-07).
    The directory where the prepared the global.ini file has been stored is included with the storage_cfg CLI option (--storage_cfg=/hana/shared).
    Depending on the OS version being used, it might be necessary to install phyton 2.7 before installing the SAP HANA database.

/hdblcm --action=install --addhosts=sapcc-hana-tst-06:role=worker:storage_partition=2,sapcc-hana-tst-07:role=standby --storage_cfg=/hana/shared/
