1.2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Contents Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA contains the following channels:

o Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Base Channel 6.5 (as of Dec. 2014)

o Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Child Channel

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Base Channel

Because Red Hat does not ship custom-built kernels for any products, Red Hat Enterprise

Linux Server Base Channel is identical to a regular Red Hat Enterprise Linux channel which

contains the same Linux kernel. Any additional packages will be shipped via a child channel

or an Add-On.

Note

The name of the repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Base Channel 6.5 is: rhel-

x86_64-server-6

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Child Channel

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Child Channel contains additional packages essential

to a HANA deployment:

o Scalable File System Add-On (XFS)

o compat-sap-c++.so package

o Tuned profiles “sap-hana” and “sap-hana-vmware”

Note

The name of the repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Child Channel 6.5 is:

rhel-x86_64-server-sap-hana-6

Scalable File System Add-On (XFS)

XFS is a robust and highly-scalable single-host 64-bit journaling file system. It is entirely

extent-based, so it supports very large file and file system sizes. The maximum supported

file system size is 500 TB. The number of files an XFS system can hold is limited only by the

space available in the file system.

Why use a specific file system like XFS?

o SAP tests their software during QA on a small number of file systems

o XFS is clarified for SAP HANA

o It is regarded as one of the best solutions to reach Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

compat-sap-c++.so Package

In order to run SAP HANA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5, you must install an additional

runtime environment for GCC 4.7: the RPM package compat-sap-c++ (see SAP note 2001528).

The compat-sap-c++.so package is required for the following reasons:

o It provides the gcc-4.7 libstdc++ rebuilt for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

o This gcc 4.7 compatibility library is required because SAP HANA was built on a

different platform

o SAP uses a more recent compiler for its more recent feature set

Note

The compat-sap-c++.so package is installed as /opt/rh/SAP/lib64/compat-sap-c++.so

Tuned Profiles

Tuned is a daemon that monitors the use of system components and dynamically tunes

system settings based on that monitoring information. Tuned profiles are pre-defined

profiles for specific use cases. A tuned profile sets tunable kernel parameters (i.e. CPU

states and network latency parameters), or runs scripts to tune the operating environment

for a specific purpose.

Note

Tuned profile “sap-hana” is designed for SAP HANA running on bare metal.

Tuned profile “sap-hana-vmware” is designed for SAP HANA running on a VMware hypervisor.

Important

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA is required for every SAP HANA deployment.


1.3. Certified Configurations The following configurations have been certified for SAP HANA Appliance running on Red Hat

Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA:

HANA Version

HANA 1.0 SPS 08 and 09 (as of Dec. 2014)

CPU Architecture

Intel Ivy Bridge-EX, a.k.a. Xeon E7 v2

Note

What about Intel Westmere? Will Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA be certified for the

Westmere platform?

Both Red Hat and SAP wish to protect the investment the customer has already made. For

this first release, we were looking forward and made sure that we were running on the latest

technology. If a customer would like a particular Westmere configuration with a particular

HW vendor, they must work with that HW vendor and create the request. Both Red Hat and

SAP support these certification efforts.

Configurations

o Single Node

o Scale Out

o SoH: (Business) Suite on SAP HANA

Important

Always check the most current list of certified hardware before a HANA deployment. You can

find an up-to-date list of certified hardware at:

http://global.sap.com/community/ebook/2014-09-02-hana-hardware/enEN/index.html

File Systems

o GPFS by IBM/Lenovo

o XFS and ext3 by other HW vendors

Note

XFS is covered in this course and the accompanying labs.

Important

It is important to read the documentation before starting an SAP HANA deployment. The

documentation contains information pertaining to supportability.


1.5. Collaborative Support SAP and Red Hat have joined in a highly collaborative support relationship to provide a

seamless support experience to customers. Adoption of SAP HANA has never been easier with

a single-ticket support system.

Red Hat offers an SAP TAM (Technical Account Manager) service. Customers who have this

service find it highly valuable because they receive meaningful technical advice from the

TAM, as well as faster resolution of both SAP and Red Hat issues.

Integrated ticketing system - Customer has single support interface

Note

Customers can reach out to SAP or to the OEM to initiate support. Because SAP, the OEM,

and Red Hat all participate in the SAP Global Support Process and the SAP Linux Lab, we will

all work together to resolve customer issues without ping-ponging them between support

contacts.

Note

Red Hat Enterprise Linux base installation is not covered in this course. In the lab, each

student receives a system with a pre-installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux Base Server.

To obtain training on Red Hat Enterprise Linux base installation, register for the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux Implementation course offered by Red Hat OPEN.


3.2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Subscription The process of registering your system to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA

subscription involves the following steps:

1. Make sure Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP was granted to your Red Hat Network

Classic1 account

2. Subscribe to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA using Red Hat Subscription

Management

Make Sure Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP was Granted to Your Red Hat Network

Classic1 Account

When a Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA subscription is purchased, the entitlement

appears in the Red Hat Network Classic1 account used for the purchase. If this is not the

case, contact Red Hat Support.

Subscribe to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Using Red Hat Subscription

Management

Register to Red Hat Network Classic1 using Red Hat Subscription Management

Red Hat Subscription Management is a local service which tracks installed products and

subscriptions on a local system to help manage subscription assignments. It communicates

with the backend subscription service (the Customer Portal or an on-premise server, such as

Subscription Asset Manager) and it works with content management tools such as yum.

[root@server ~]# subscription-manager register --username=RHN_USERNAME \

--password=RHN_PASSWORD

List Available Pools

List all the available pools that the system is eligible to subscribe to:

[root@server ~]# subscription-manager list --available

Subscribe to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA

Use the output of the previous step to identify the pool that contains “Red Hat Enterprise

Linux for SAP Hana”, and then use its Pool ID to subscribe:

[root@server ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool POOL_ID

Note

If you do not have a Red Hat Network Classic1 account with sufficient subscriptions, the

system provided by the lab has been subscribed to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA.

Verify the Subscription

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA channel and its repo should be visible to this

system:

[root@server ~]# yum repolist

repo id repo name status

rhel-x86_64-server-sap-hana-6 RHEL 6.5 SAP HANA 2


3.3. Prepare the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be provisioned with all the necessary

software packages, kernel settings, and configurations that make it ready for SAP HANA

installation. These items fall into the following categories:

o Kernel Updates and Supportability

o Settings recommended in SAP Note 2013638

o Required Configurations

o Optional Configurations

Kernel Updates and Supportability

As of Dec. 2014, SAP HANA IS CURRENTLY CERTIFIED FOR RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 6.5

ONLY. The system must not be updated to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6. It is important to

update only the OS kernel and firmware packages to the latest release that appeared in Red

Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5.

Important

You can find the latest information on kernel updates and supportability on the Red Hat

Customer Portal in this article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1243453

SAP Note 2013638

For important OS settings see SAP Note 2013638 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS

Settings for RHEL 6.5http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2013638. This note

contains important OS setting recommendations:

o Disable Transparent HugePages

o Configure C-States for lower latency in Linux

o Upgrade OpenSSL

o Install GCC 4.7 runtime environment

o Disable SELinux

o Check the version of nss-softokn-freebl

Disable Transparent HugePages

SAP HANA is not currently intended to be used with Transparent HugePages (THP); when THP

are enabled, SAP HANA can crash occasionally. Therfore, THP should be deactivated until

verification has been completed.

Configure C-States for lower latency in Linux

The Linux kernel shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 includes a new cpuidle driver for

recent Intel CPUs: intel_idle. This driver leads to a different behavior in C-states switching.

The normal operating state is C0, when the processor is put to a higher C state, it will save

power. However, for low latency applications, the additional time needed to start the

execution of the code again causes performance degradations.

Upgrade OpenSSL

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 distribution is vulnerable to an OpenSSL bug called

"Heartbleed". OpenSSL versions 1.0.1 before 1.0.1g allow remote attackers to obtain

sensitive information i.e. private keys.

Note

To fix the bug, upgrade OpenSSL by following the instructions provided by Red

Hat:https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/781793 (see also SAP note 2005955 -

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2005955).

Install GCC 4.7 Runtime Environment

To run SAP HANA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5, you need an additional runtime

environment for GCC 4.7; the RPM package compat-sap-c++ must be installed (see also SAP

note 2001528).

Disable SELinux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 is delivered with SELinux enabled by default. However, there is

no SELinux policy available for SAP HANA, so leaving SELinux enabled can lead to problems

when running SAP HANA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Therefore, you should disable SELinux.

Check the Version of nss-softokn-freebl

The latest version of the nss-softokn-freebl package that is currently supported with SAP

HANA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 is: nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-12.

If you already updated unintentionally, you need to downgrade the package by following the

instructions in the knowledgebase article below.

Reference

Details on the version of nss-softokn-freebl can be found in this Red Hat knowledgebase

article:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1236813

Required Configurations

Besides the settings outlined in SAP Note 2013638, the following settings are required:

o Configure NTP

o Disable firewall

o Install dependencies

o Install SAP JVM to be used by HANA Studio

o Install tuned profile

o Tunable kernel parameters

o Symbolic links

o Disable crash and core file handling of the OS

o Install unrar

Configure NTP

If you can access an NTP time server from the machine, we strongly recommend that you

enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) to keep the time and date synchronized on all SAP

HANA servers.

Disable Firewall

The firewall is disabled by default. See Appendix I of the installation guide for detailed

instructions on how to configure iptables for usage with SAP HANA.

Note

Firewall configuration is an advanced Red Hat Enterprise Linux administrative topic. Due to

time constraints, firewall configuration is not covered in this course no its labs.

Install Dependencies

Install dependencies in accordance with the SAP HANA Server Installation and

Update Guide.

o Software group: base

o Software packages: gtk2 libicu xulrunner ntp sudo tcsh libssh2 expect cairo graphviz

iptraf krb5-workstation krb5-libs.i686 nfs-utils lm_sensors rsyslog openssl098e openssl

xorg-x11-xauth PackageKit-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk2 libtool-ltdl

o Optional package: numactl, if the benchmark HWCCT is to be used.

Install SAP JVM to be Used by HANA Studio

SAP JVM is used by HANA Studio and you can download it from SAP Service Marketplace.

Note

As an alternative, IcedTea will be installed in the lab.

Install Tuned Profile

Tuned is a daemon that monitors the use of system components and dynamically tunes

system settings based on that monitoring information. Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP

HANA provides two tuned profiles:

o sap-hana: for bare-metal installation

o sap-hana-vmware: for HANA installation on VMware hypervisor

Tunable Kernel Parameters

The following parameters must be set in /etc/sysctl.conf. The SAP HANA installer adds some

of these parameters, so add these settings after SAP HANA is installed. The following is an

example:

net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle=0

net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=40000 61000

net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1=256






kernel.shmmni=65536

kernel.msgmni=32768

kernel.sem=1250 256000 100 8192

kernel.sysrq=1

vm.swappiness=60

vm.max_map_count=2000000

vm.memory_failure_early_kill=1

fs.file-max=20000000

fs.aio-max-nr=458752

Symbolic Links

For compatibility reasons, the following four symbolic links are required:

# ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e /usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8

# ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.1e /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.1

# ln -s /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8e

/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

# ln -s /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.1e


Disable Crash and Core File Handling of the OS

Because SAP HANA has its own dump mechanisms which can be analyzed by SAP support,

kdump should be disabled. Additionally, kdump eats up memory that could otherwise be

used for the database.

The occurrence of SAP HANA crashes is entirely unrelated to operating system mechanisms.

This means that you can omit the application crash and core file handling of the operating

system. The abrt service, which handles application crashes, must be disabled completely.

Install unrar

The SAP HANA archive is in multi-spanning format, so you need the unrar utility to unpack it.

Reference

See SAP Note 886535 - Downloading Multispanning

Archiveshttp://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/886535 for details.

Optional Configurations

The following configurations are optional depending on your system:

o Lock Kernel Version

o Hardware With IvyTown Sockets

o NIPING

Lock Kernel Version

As of Dec. 2014, SAP HANA is currently certified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 only.

According to SAP Note 2013638 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for

RHEL 6.5 the system must not be updated to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6.

Lock the kernel, kernel-firmware, and kernel-headers to the latest available kernel of the

2.6.32-431 series. Also lock the nss-softokn-freebl and nss-softokn packages to the latest

versions compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5.

Important

Always check the latest installation guide for supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel

version information!

Hardware With IvyTown Sockets

For hardware with eight IvyTown sockets and larger, the maximum number of processes for

the sapsys group is not sufficient. This causes the installation of SAP HANA to fail.

The solution is to create the /etc/security/limits.d/99-sapsys.conf file with the

following content:

[root@server ~]# cat /etc/security/limits.d/99-sapsys.conf

@sapsys soft nproc unlimited

NIPING

The niping program is used for SAP support. To use this program, download it from the SAP

Service Marketplace.

Note

You also need to download SAPCAR from SAP Service Marketplace to install NIPING.


3.4. Prepare the File Systems - XFS The following steps outline the process of installing and creating XFS file systems for SAP

HANA:

1. Install XFS

2. Create Disk Partitions

3. Create LVM Logical Volumes

4. Create XFS File Systems

5. Create Mount Points

6. Mount File Systems

Note

XFS is good for large files or for extremely small files. However, it lacks tuning support once

the file system is created. As a good practice, design and tune the file system before

creating it. To assist with the design and tuning, Red Hat provides an XFS File System Layout

Calculator at:https://access.redhat.com/labs/fslayoutcalculator

Note

See the Minimum Requirements chapter for important information on file system layout and

size.

2. Go to Services -> Catalogs.

3. On the left, expand All Services/OPENTLC Labs.

4. On the left, click RHEL for SAP HANA Lab.

5. On the right, click Order.

6. On the bottom right, click Submit.

Important

You will receive an email with the information on how to access your environment. It takes

about 20 minutes for your lab to fully start up and be accessible.

Get Familiar With Your Lab Environment

In this course, you do most of the hands-on practice exercises and lab work with one

dedicated computer system. This system is pre-installed with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux

base server. Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA subscription is provided on the system,

as well as disk partitions with enough space for an SAP HANA installation. The entire

environment is hosted in the cloud, but the system configuration resembles a bare metal

environment.

Access Your System via SSH

You can access your system using an SSH client pointed to the hostname that you received in

your provisioning email. You must log in using your OPENTLC SSO account (the same login

that you used to provision the lab) plus your OPENTLC SSO SSH Key.

If you have not already registered your SSH Public Key with OPENTLC SSO, log in

tohttps://www.opentlc.com/pwm/private/UpdateProfile and paste your public key there.

Reference

If you need more information on generating SSH keys see:

Windows: http://kb.site5.com/shell-access-ssh/how-to-generate-ssh-keys-and-connect-to-

your-account-with-putty

Linux/OSX: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2

Log in to Your System

You can log in to the system using ssh:

[student@desktop ~]$ ssh opentlc_username@system_IP

Become Root User

The root password on the system is r3dh@t1!.

Important

You must log in to the system using your OPENTLC SSO account, and then become

the root user using sudo.

[student@server ~]$ sudo su -

Note

Unless noted otherwise, all the command line executions in the lab will be conducted

as root user.


5.3. Lab - Download SAP HANA Installation Media Due to End User License Agreement (EULA) restrictions, Red Hat OPEN cannot provide SAP

HANA Installation Media in this training course. You must download the installation media

from SAP Service Marketplace using your own SAP S user account.

Important

Start the download as soon as possible; it may take a while to complete the download.

Download SAP HANA Installation Media

SAP HANA can be downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace:

1. Point your browser to: http://support.sap.com/swdc.

2. Select Installations and Upgrades.

3. Select A-Z Index -> H.

4. Select SAP In-Memory (SAP HANA ) -> HANA Platform Edition -> SAP HANA

PLATFORM EDITION -> SAP HANA PLATFORM EDIT. 1.0.

5. Select Installation, and then scroll down to the bottom of the Downloads panel and

select SAP HANA Platform Ed. 1.0 Latest.

Note

Below is an example of the download. Please note that the media's object number may

change when SAP releases updates. Check the Title description instead of the Object

number.

Note

You need an SAP S user account to access the SAP Service Marketplace. If you do not have an

account, contact your company's SAP administrator and request an account with Software

download authorization. It may take one day or two to process your account request.

Upload SAP HANA Installation Media to Your System

Use the following command to upload the SAP HANA software from your client to the lab

system:

[student@desktop ~]$ scp 51049219_part*.* opentlc_username@system_IP:~

Important

Start the upload as soon as you have access to the system. The upload may take several

hours depending on the speed of your network connection.

While the software upload is in progress, open another terminal, log in to the server, and

prepare the system in parallel.


5.4. Lab - Verify Your Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Subscription The lab environment should have a pre-installed version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 base

server, and it should already be subscribed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA

channel.

Verify the Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA Subscription

Use the following command to verify your subscription:

[root@server ~]# yum repolist

repo id repo name status

rhel-x86_64-server-sap-hana-6 RHEL 6.5 SAP HANA 2


5.5. Lab - Prepare the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS Complete the steps in this section to prepare the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS based on SAP

Create XFS File Systems

Note

XFS is good for large files or for extremely small files. However it lacks the tuning support

once the file system is created. As a good practice, design and tune the file system before

creating it. To assist with the design and tuning, Red Hat provides an XFS File System Layout

Calculator at:https://access.redhat.com/labs/fslayoutcalculator

The following example creates the file systems that reside on a RAID 5 Array with three

disks, a block size of 4 KB, and a chunk size of 64 KB:

[root@server ~]# mkfs -t xfs -b size=4096 -d su=64k,sw=2

/dev/vg00/lv_hana_shared


/dev/vg00/lv_hana_data


/dev/vg00/lv_hana_log


/dev/vg00/lv_install


/dev/vg01/lv_usr_sap

Create Mount Points

1. Use the following commands to create mount points:

2. [root@server ~]# mkdir -p /hana/{shared,data,log}

3. [root@server ~]# mkdir -p /usr/sap

4. [root@server ~]# mkdir /install

5. Use the following commands to write mount entries into /etc/fstab:

6. [root@server ~]# echo "/dev/vg00/lv_install /install xfs defaults 1

3" >> /etc/fstab

7. [root@server ~]# echo "/dev/vg01/lv_usr_sap /usr/sap xfs defaults 1

4" >> /etc/fstab

8. [root@server ~]# echo "/dev/vg00/lv_hana_data /hana/data xfs

defaults 1 5" >> /etc/fstab

9. [root@server ~]# echo "/dev/vg00/lv_hana_log /hana/log xfs defaults

1 6" >> /etc/fstab

10. [root@server ~]# echo "/dev/vg00/lv_hana_shared /hana/shared xfs

defaults 1 7" >> /etc/fstab

Mount File Systems

Use the following command to mount the file systems:

[root@server ~]# mount -avt xfs
