STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM

It is recommended to install SuSE Linux version 12 Patch 1
TIP: Please refer Notes below:
Note 2399995 - Hardware requirement for SAP HANA 2.0
Note 2235581 - SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems.
Note 2205917 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for SLES 12

You can check your operating system version as below:

sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release

  SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64)

  VERSION = 12

  PATCHLEVEL = 2

STEP 2: USE EXISTING HANA DATABASE (OPTION1)

The minimum required is HANA 2.0 Support Package 03 Revision 33 but it is generally recommended to go to the highest revision available.

If you already have a database, please patch the database to HANA 2 and you can create container using command:

CREATE DATABASE HDB SYSTEM USER PASSWORD Xxxxxxxn

It takes about 2 minutes to create database with this command.

STEP 2: NEW HANA DATABASE (OPTION 2)

To install database you can use hdblcmgui. I used hdblcm as below.
minimum is HANA 2 Rev 33 as per release note for 1809

First unpack the archive to folder HANA2_33 and LCAPPS_33 together if you need integrated LiveCache so it can be installed as a combined install.

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #SAPCAR -xvf IMDB_SERVER20_033_0-80002031.SAR

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #mv SAP_HANA_DATABASE HANA2_33

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_LCAPPS_2033_0-20010426.SAR

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #mv SAP_HANA_LCAPPS HANA2_33_LCAPPS

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/HANA2_33 # ./hdblcm

SAP HANA Database System installed



Deployment of SAP Host Agent configurations finished



You can send feedback to SAP with this form: https://vhcalhdbdb:1129/lmsl/HDBLCM/HDB/feedback/feedback.html

Log file written to '/var/tmp/hdb_HDB_hdblcm_install_2018-09-28_19.21.35/hdblcm.log' on host 'vhcals4hci'.

After installation, logon to HANA Database using HANA Studio and add system
Host Name : <your hostname or ip>
Instance Number: 02
Click Next and in the following screen enter User Name SYSTEM and Password
Click on Finish to exit.

TIP: Please change the log mode if you don’t want to be spend time on log maintenance: In HANA studio –> Configuration –> global.ini –> persistence and set the parameter log_mode to overwrite. When you change the log mode, you must restart the database system to activate the changes. It is also recommended that you perform a full data backup. You can also set the log_mode to ‘overwrite’ using the following SQL-Statement:



ALTER SYSTEM ALTER CONFIGURATION ('global.ini', 'SYSTEM') SET ('persistence', 'log_mode') = 'overwrite' WITH RECONFIGURE;

STEP 3: S/4HANA INSTALLATION USING SWPM

TIP: You don't need to extract the backup zip files S4CORE103_INST_EXPORT_*.zip. SWPM tool will extract them into /usr/sap/HDB/HDB02/backup/data/DB_HDB where the extract will use 60GB from this folder. Also this procedure is for SWPM+SUM combined installation and you don't need the SYSTEM/DDIC password from backup Database/ABAP instance.

Extract the SWPM SAR file as below

sid-hdb:/ # cd /install 

sid-hdb:/install # /sapmedia/SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SWPM20SP01_0-80003424.SAR

You should get message at the end of this that SAPCAR: 301 files(s) extracted

Start x-Windows software such as Exceed or X-ming and set the DISPLAY variable needed to confirm x-Windows is working.

Execute SWPM to do system copy with backup restore as below:

sid-hdb:/install#./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_ACCEPT_INTERNAL_SIGNATURE=true SAPINST_SLP_MODE=false SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_1000543815_20180921_.xml

TIP: At this point if you get the screen below:

Please refer Note 2510478 Data unit /xx/xx/xx/SWPM is not signed with an official SAP signature. I started with command:

./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_ACCEPT_INTERNAL_SIGNATURE=true SAPINST_SLP_MODE=false SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_1000543815_20180921_.xml This is ok for sandbox.

STEP 4: ADDON INSTALLATION USING SUM

As we executed combined SWPM+SUM you should have filesystem /usr/sap/S4H/SUM and you should directly jump to url https://vhcals4hci:1129/lmsl/sumabap/S4H/doc/sluigui

If not, don’t worry, please extract it as below 2 commands:

as s4hadm

cd /usr/sap/S4H

SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SUM20SP03_0-80002456.SAR

as root

ps –ef | grep –i sapup

/usr/sap/S4H/SUM/abap/SUMSTART confighostagent

TIP: Please check that your /windows/drivers/etc/host file contains entry with IP address mapped to hostname vhcals4hci.

c:\users\mahesh>type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

10.20.130.140  vhcals4hci vhcals4hci.dummy.nodomain vhcals4hcs vhcals4hcs.dummy.nodomain vhcalhdbdb vhcalhdbdb.dummy.nodomain

Open Google Chrome browser (latest version recommended) Enter URL:
https://vhcals4hci:1129/lmsl/sumabap/S4H/doc/sluigui

In case you get screen below please click on Advanced and then “Proceed to vhcals4hci(unsafe)"

Enter s4hadm/(password you used before) in the screen below

TIP: If you get message that Page is Unresponsive just click on Wait.

PERFORMANCE TIP: When you use the Combined SWPM+SUM procedure, SUM is started bypassing many phases and prompts. The Number of processes for Batch, R3trans are set to 1-uptime/3-downtime  and R3load are set to 4/4. In order to have the installation take advantage of CPU power and save time, as soon as you get the first screen of SUM please do as below
