SAP DataHub 2.7.x Installation/Upgrade with the SLC Bridge


One on the biggest steps towards the Intelligent Enterprise is the Implementation of the SAP Data Hub using the latest Version from 2.6.1 and above, e.g. 2.7.x
SAP Data Hub 2.7 is also the foundation for the Cloud Service "SAP Data Intelligence" - What is SAP Data Intelligence currently offered by AWS including ML capabilities.

SAP Data Hub allows the automated and reliable data processing across the entire data landscape within the company.

no further updates for SAP Datahub 2.7 available anymore.
for new functionality please update to the latest SAP Data Intelligence 3.0 Version - SAP Data Intelligence 3.0 – implement with slcb tool


 

sidenote: the SLC bridge screens are not differ between Version 2.6.x and 2.7.x







To see what is going on during the SAP Data Hub Installation,
see the @thorsten.schneider Blog - Installing SAP Data Hub

Your SAP on Azure – Part 13 – Install SAP Data Hub on Azure Kubernetes Service

starting the Software Lifecycle Container Bridge (SLC Bridge)


 



Here you can choose as Customer/Partner/External your S-User/Password and as SAP employee your User-ID/Password



Depending to your result in the MP execution plan, the current SLPLUGIN version will be uploaded. The stack.sml war already uploaded before ...



If this is not the first upload of the DHFOUNDATION zip file, you can choose to use the existing one.



See the Information about the Target Software Level



As already described in the Blog - prepare the Installation Host for the SLC Bridge various follow up problems will occur, if the Prerequisites Check does not pass successfully ...




In Addition check that your SPN secret is still valid to prevent follow up errors like:

  • check checkpoint store fails

  • DNS problems within Azure Environment

  • timeout while creating pods in $NAMESPACE


 az aks get-upgrades --name <AKS cluster> --resource-group <resource group> --output table

Name ResourceGroup MasterVersion NodePoolVersion Upgrades
------- --------------- --------------- ----------------- --------------------------------
default <resource group> 1.14.8 1.14.8 1.15.4(preview), 1.15.5(preview)


If there are some Errors (Independent from the IaaS Distributor) in the Pre-Flight Check Phase SLP_HELM_CHECK - check the Blog: prepare the Installation Host for the SLC Bridge



Choosing the Type "Advanced Installation" allows you to examine additional Details



If you have no Internet Connection, either from IaaS or from on premise location, you can download the Container Images in advance. With an Internet Connection this is not necessary ...

The SLC Bridge based Installation allows you several option, seen as follows:





The mentioned "Technical User" here is a dedicated User, which is created based on your S-User or User-ID as has the format: <InstNr.>.<S-User>



The Container Registry is created in the Kubernetes Cluster (e.g. AKS)





A Certificate Domain is needed, e.g. *.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com


In case (recommended from my side) you want to use an "image pull secret" take the SPN credentials here ...


kubectl create secret docker-registry docker-secret /
--docker-server=<registry service>.azurecr.io /
--docker-username=<SPN> /
--docker-password=<SPN-Secret> /
--docker-email=roland.kramer@sap.com -n $NAMESPACE

kubectl get secret docker-secret --output=yaml -n $NAMESPACE

In case you have to update the AKS cluster with new Service Principal credentials use the using the az aks update-credentials command.


In case of an error after the phase "Image pull secret":
server:~ # Error: configmaps is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:<namespace>:default" cannot list resource "configmaps" in API group "" in the namespace "<namespace>"
server:~ # kubectl create clusterrolebinding default-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=<namespace>:default -n $NAMESPACE

SAP Data Hub System Tenant Administrator Password is needed:



To ease the initial Installation, the users in the tenants "default" and "system" can have the same password for now ...




If the "enable checkpoint store" fails it mostly due to the outdated SPN secret (see above ...)



These are the different options, if you choose "enable checkpoint store" (Example Azure)







configuring default storage classes for certain types is suitable for SAP Datahub Installations


server:~ # kubectl patch storageclass managed-premium -p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"}}}'
server:~ # kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get storageclass ${STORAGE_CLASS} -o wide
NAME PROVISIONER AGE
default (default) kubernetes.io/azure-disk 5d14h
managed-premium (default) kubernetes.io/azure-disk 5d14h
vrep-<namespace> sap.com/vrep 4m34s
vrep-runtime-<namespace> sap.com/vrep 6d23h


  • Default Storage Class

  • System Management Storage Class

  • Dlog Storage Class

  • Disk Storage Class

  • Consul Storage Class

  • SAP HANA Storage Class

  • SAP Data Hub Diagnostics Storage Class




the Docker Container Log Path is provided by the IaaS Distributor (do not change ...)





It is suitable to "Enable loading NFS modules" here to avoid follow up errors





Note 2776522 - SAP Data Hub 2: Specific Configurations for Installation on SUSE CaaS Platform

As of SAP Data Hub 2.5, the required Network File System (NFS) version is 4.2 by default. For Azure and the other hyperscalers this is not the case and you can use NFS v4.2.
(vora-vsystem.vRep.nfsv4MinorVersion=1)
-e vora-vsystem.vRep.nfsv4MinorVersion=1
-e vora-dqp.components.disk.replicas=4
-e vora-dqp.components.dlog.storageSize=200Gi

Parameter use in this section start with vora-<service>. A wrong notation will lead into an Installation Error and you have to run from scratch again, as the SLC Bridge is not a SWPM

Now the Installation starts with the execution of the Installation Service

 




cleaning out the old docker images by deleting the directories below /var/lib/docker/overlay2 will lead to inconsistencies.

Upgrade SAP DataHub to Version 2.7.x


In case of Upgrading the SAP Datahub, the complete vflow-graphs have to be stopped/deleted


server:/ # kubectl delete pod -n $NAMESPACE $(kubectl get pods -n $NAMESPACE | grep vflow-graph | egrep 'Completed|Error|CrashLoopBackOff' | awk {'print $1'})

post Installation Steps for the SAP Data Hub


 


Finally you have to expose the SAP Data Hub Launchpad. This can be found in the
online help - Configuring SAP Data Hub Foundation on Cloud Platforms


After upgrading SAP Data Hub the base system runs in the new version, but applications on top still run in the previous version.

It looks like the way @db8ac33b71d34a778adf273b064c4883 exposed the SAP Data Hub Launchpad is more efficient then the sap online help - Your SAP on Azure – Part 20 – Expose SAP Data Hub Launchpad

Blog - Secure the Ingress for DH 2.7 or DI 3.0


If you already installed the SAP Data Hub again, then you have to check if there is already an Ingress Controller is running. There should be only on ingress-controller attached to one LoadBalancer and one external IP-Address.

Log on to the SAP Data Hub


online help - Launchpad for SAP Data Hub

a new logon procedure is available with SAP Datahub Version 2.7.x





 




 


If you installed SAP Data Hub on Azure or if you use a password-protected container registry, then you must configure the access credentials for the container registry. To provide the access credential for the container registry to SAP Data Hub Modeler, you must define a secret within the corresponding tenant and associate it with the Modeler.

Important Post Steps for the vital health of the SAP Datahub 



After some investigations, we encountered to increase some important values within the "on-premise" SAP Datahub Implementation.
Hopefully this is also reflected in the SAP Data Intelligence Cloud Environment ...

  • increase vrep pod CPU upper limit from 1 to 4

  • increase vrep pod memory upper limit from 2 to 8GB

  • increase vsystem pod memory upper limit from 1 to 2GB

  • increase the NFS threadcount

  • increase the SAP Datahub vrep pvc from 10 to 50GB


 


The good news is, that you can increase the values online without any downtime and they are also persistent, except the NFS threadcount increase.
server:/ # kubectl patch statefulsets.apps -n $NAMESPACE vsystem-vrep -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"vsystem-vrep","resources":{"limits":{"cpu":"4", "memory":"8Gi"}}}]}}}}'
server:/ # kubectl patch deploy vsystem -n $NAMESPACE -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"vsystem","resources":{"limits":{"memory":"2Gi"}}}]}}}}'
server:/ # rpc.mountd -N2 -N3 -V4 -V4.1 -V4.2 -t20

increasing the vrep persistent volume claim (pvc) is a bit more tricky ...
server:/ # kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get storageclass ${STORAGE_CLASS} -o wide
