Suse Linux HANA DB Implementation

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications is streamlined in different ways for SAP* applications.
redoing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications for SAP HANA framework replication in the
expense enhanced the situation.

Presentation
"SAP clients put resources into SAP HANA" is the decision come to by an ongoing business sector think
about completed by Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC). In Germany alone, half of the organizations expect
SAP HANA to end up the prevailing database stage in the SAP condition.

By and large, the "SAP Business Suite* controlled by SAP HANA*" situation is as of now being talked
about in solid terms. Normally, SUSE is likewise obliging this improvement by giving SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server to SAP Applications – the suggested and bolstered working framework for SAP HANA.
In a closely coordinated effort with SAP and equipment accomplices, hence, SUSE gives two asset
specialists to clients to guarantee the high accessibility of SAP HANA framework replications.

Scale-Up versus Scale-Out

The main arrangement of situations incorporates the engineering and improvement of scale-up
arrangements. For these situations, SUSE built up the scale-up asset specialist bundle SAP Hana SR.
Framework replication will recreate the database information starting with one PC then onto the next
PC so as to adjust for database disappointments (single-box replication).

Scale-Up situations and asset operators

SUSE has executed the scale-up situation with the SAP Hana asset operator (RA), which plays out the
genuine check of the SAP HANA database examples. This RA is designed as an ace/slave asset. In the
scale-up situation, the ace accepts accountability for the SAP HANA databases running in essential
mode, and the slave is in charge of occurrences that are worked in synchronous (optional) status.

To make designing the bunch as basic as could reasonably be expected, SUSE likewise built up it's SAP
Hana Topology asset specialist. This keeps running on all hubs of an SLE 12 HAE group and accumulates
data about the statuses and arrangements of SAP HANA framework replications. It is planned as an
ordinary (stateless) clone. 2 Scale-Up situations and asset specialists SL

The idea of the Cost Optimized Scenario

SAP permits to run a non-gainful occasion of SAP HANA on the framework replication site on hub 2
(QAS). If there should arise an occurrence of the disappointment of the essential SAP HANA on hub 1 the
bunch first attempts to restart the SAP HANA locally on this hub.

On the off chance that the restart is preposterous or if the total hub 1 is smashed, the takeover
procedure will be activated. If there should be an occurrence of a takeover the optional (reproduction)
of this SAP HANA on hub 2 is begun after the shutdown of the non-gainful SAP HANA.

On the other hand, you could likewise design an alternate asset taking care of technique, however, we
prescribe to endeavor to restart SAP HANA locally rst, as a takeover with non-preloaded tables could
expend much time and furthermore the required stop of the QAS framework will take extra time.
Accordingly, in numerous situations, the nearby restart will be quicker. To accomplish mechanization of
this asset taking care of procedure, we can use the SAP HANA asset specialists incorporated into SAP
Hana SR.

Framework replication of the gainful database is finished with SAP Hana and SAPHanaTopology and
treatment of the non-profitable database with the outstanding SAP Database asset specialist. The
thought behind is the accompanying:

The SUSE pacemaker structure is designed to run and screen the gainful SAP HANA database in
framework replication arrangement as depicted in the setup direct (you have to finish a structure to
peruse the report) accompanying the SAP HanaSR asset operators. The task of the non-gainful SAP
HANA occurrence is finished by the SAP Database asset specialist since it is a solitary database without
replication.

The programmed shutdown of the non-beneficial SAP HANA database (QAS) is accomplished by bunch
rules (hostile to collocation of SAP HANA nudge versus SAP HANA non-push), for example on the off
chance that the essential SAP HANA framework (HA1) falls flat the counter collocation rules for SAP
HANA non-goad (QAS) are activated and the SAP Database asset operator closes down the non-
beneficial SAP HANA database. The takeover to hub 2 takes a significant lot of time, on the grounds that
the non-beneficial database should be ceased nimbly preceding takeover the gainful database.

This drawn-out takeover time is the fundamental weakness of the cost advancement situation. Adjacent
to the depiction of the idea in this guide, it would be ideal if you additionally perused the comparing SAP
documentation, for instance, Using Secondary Servers for Non-Productive frameworks.
Clients Receive Complete Package

With both the SAPHana and SAPHanaTopology asset specialists, clients will along these lines have the
capacity to coordinate SAP HANA framework replications in their bunch.

This has the benefit of empowering organizations to utilize their business-basic SAP frameworks as well
as their SAP HANA databases without interference while detectably decreasing required spending plans.
SUSE furnishes the all-inclusive arrangement together with best practices documentation.

SAP and equipment accomplices who don't have their very own SAP HANA high-accessibility
arrangement will likewise profit by this SUSE Linux improvement.

Upheld Scenarios and Prerequisites

With the SAPHanaSR asset specialist programming bundle, we limit the help to Scale-Up (single-box to
single-box) framework replication with the accompanying setups and parameters: Two-hub groups. The
bunch must incorporate a substantial STONITH strategy.

Any STONITH system upheld by SLE 12 HAE (like SDB, IPMI) is bolstered with SAPHanaSR. This guide is
concentrating on the sbd fencing strategy as this is equipment free. On the off chance that you use sbd
as the fencing component, you need at least one shared drives. For beneficial conditions, we prescribe
more than one sbd gadget. The two hubs are in a similar system fragment (layer 2). Specialized clients
and gatherings, for example, are characterized locally in the Linux framework. Name goals of the bunch
hubs and the virtual IP address must be done locally on all group hubs. Time synchronization between
the bunch hubs utilizing NTP.

Both SAP HANA occasions have a similar SAP Identifier (SID) and case number. In the event that the
bunch hubs are introduced in various server farms or server farm regions, nature must match the
prerequisites of the SLE HAE group item. Of specific concern are the system latencies and suggested the
greatest separation between the hubs. Kindly survey our item documentation for SLE HAE about those
suggestions. Mechanized enrollment of a fizzled essential after the takeover. As a decent beginning
arrangement for tasks,
we prescribe to switch the mechanized enlistment of a fizzled essential. The setup
AUTOMATED_REGISTER="false" is the default. For this situation, you have to enroll a fizzled essential
after a takeover physically. Use SAP apparatuses like Hana studio. For ideal computerization, we suggest
AUTOMATED_REGISTER="true".The Computerized beginning of SAP HANA occasions amid framework
boot must be exchanged.

Unwavering quality:

A large number of HANA Customers Rely on SUSE® Linux Enterprise Thousands of SAP HANA clients
depend on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications as a stage—including SAP. What's more, all
things considered. SUSE and SAP have been cooperating intently for a long time to advance the
utilization of Linux for SAP. After SUSE Linux Enterprise Server turned into the main Linux stage for
business-basic SAP application arrangements, SAP collaborated again with SUSE as an advancement and
development innovation accomplice for the up and coming age of in-memory processing

This turned out to be effective, and when SAP HANA was discharged for general accessibility in 2011,
SUSE Linux additionally turned into the working framework SAP prescribed and upheld for SAP HANA.
For clients of SAP HANA, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server gives most extreme dependability, accessibility,
and security—every one of the prerequisites that are key aggressive components for organizations.

SUSE Manager offers a few prompt points of interest for working SAP HANA: It limits the intricacy of SAP
HANA situations since framework the executives and updates originate from a local area. It likewise
enables IT to accurately control the conditions required for big business tasks whether improvement,
test or generation frameworks. Also, SUSE Manager improves the execution of consistence necessities,
for example, in the security condition. Similarly, as essential, SUSE Manager results in cost funds since it
diminishes the manual and repeating assignments required for the stage the board.

Accessibility: Resource Agents for Automatic System Replication

SUSE Linux Enterprise is additionally one stage ahead with regards to the "safeguard activity of SAP
HANA + the applications that HANA powers." SUSE has teamed up with SAP and equipment accomplices
to tailor the demonstrated high accessibility (HA) elements of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP
Applications to the up and coming age of SAP in-memory processing.

What's more, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications gives clients two "asset specialists"
(SAPHana and SAPHanaTopology) to guarantee the debacle resistance of an SAP HANA framework and
coordinate SAP HANA framework replications into a bunch. SUSE has executed the scale-up situation
with the SAP Hana asset specialist (RA), which plays out the genuine check of the SAP HANA database
occurrences and is arranged as an ace/slave asset. In the scale-up situation, the ace accepts
accountability for the SAP HANA databases running in essential mode, and the slave is in charge of
occurrences that are worked in synchronous (auxiliary) status.

Security:

SUSE Hardening Settings for SAP HANA An overall overview of IT security by PwC demonstrates that
programmer assaults on organizations are consistently expanding. 3 Databases are the favored focus—
with conceivably genuine weighty harms for organizations on the grounds that any unapproved access
can undoubtedly prompt misfortune, abuse or erasure of delicate information. Lamentably, SAP HANA
databases.
