This is the Video for installation of SAP S/4HANA 1909 FPS0 (Not 2022 FPS2 but process is similar):


https://youtu.be/e8FfUaQtP5A

STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM


It is recommended to install SuSE Linux or RedHat Linux8. Refer
SAP Note 2235581 - SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems.
SAP Note 2399995 - Hardware requirement for SAP HANA 2.0
SAP Note 2620910 - SAP S/4HANA 1511, 1610, 1709 and SAP BW/4HANA 1.0: Recommended Application Server...

SAP Note 2777782 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS Settings for RHEL 8
SAP Note 2684254 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for SLES 15 / SLES for SAP Applications 15


You can check your operating system version as below:
sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/os-release
NAME="SLES"
VERSION="15-SP1"
VERSION_ID="15.1"
PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1"

STEP 2: SAP HANA DATABASE


It is recommended to install minimum SAP HANA 2.0 SP05 rev59 or SP06 rev63
SAP Note 2655761 - SAP S/4HANA - restrictions and recommendations regarding specific revisions of SA...
SAP Note 2945239 - SAP HANA Platform 2.0 SPS 06 Release Note
SAP Note 3198680 - SAP HANA Platform 2.0 SPS 07 Release Note
SAP Note 3312617 - SAP HANA 2 SPS07 Revision 070.00  <= Current at S/4HANA 2022 FPS2 release
SAP Note 2423367 - Multitenant database containers will become the standard and only operation mode
SAP Note 2469025 - How-To: Upgrading to SAP HANA 2.0

We will install HANA database through SWPM. So you need to have the SAR file IMDB_SERVER20_070_0-80002031.SAR available along with SAP HANA  Client IMDB_CLIENT20_016_26-80002082.SAR

After S/4HANA and HANA Database are installed please follow SAP Note 2600030 - Parameter Recommendations in SAP HANA Environments for parameter recommendations. This note contains check scripts which detect SAP HANA version, SAP product installed, etc. and give specific parameter recommendations.
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: SAP S/4HANA INSTALLATION USING SWPM


TIP: You don't need to extract the backup zip files S4CORE107_INST_EXPORT_*.zip. SWPM tool will extract them into /usr/sap/HDB/HDB02/backup/data/DB_HDB. Ensure sufficient space of 100GB is available in this folder.

We will use the procedure 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/SWPM20SP13_0-80003424.SAR

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

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

sid-hdb:/install#./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci  SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_2001406425_20230222_.xml

I started with command:
./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci  SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_2001406425_20230222_.xml

This is ok for sandbox.

cd /usr/sap/S4H
SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SUM20SP17_0-80002456.SAR
as root
ps –ef | grep –i sapup
