ManualsBrandsHP ManualsSoftwareHP Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP)

Example:

hosts: files[NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue]dns

Installation Step: IS330

In some older SAP releases, during installation, SAP appends some entries to the standard

.profile

files in the user home directories instead of using a new file defined by the SAP System. On HP-UX,

by default, there is the following in the given profiles:

set -u

This confuses the .dbenv*.sh and .sapenv*.sh files of the SAP System. They fail during

execution if the environment is not setup properly. Using SGeSAP, the package startup fails trying

to bring up the database.

Search the .profile of <sid>adm and remove the set -u, if found.

External Application Server Host Configuration

Repeat the steps in this section for each host that has an external application server installed.

Logon as root.

, if found

Installation Step: IS360

Modular Package Configuration

Modular SGeSAP packages can be created using the graphical interface of the Serviceguard

Manager plug-in to HP System Management Homepage or the standard Serviceguard command

line interface. The Serviceguard Manager plug-in also offers two easy package deployment

scenarios for SAP.

Easy package deployment for modular package creation

SGeSAP easy deployment is part of Serviceguard Manager. By using the Serviceguard Manger

wizard, you can easily deploy the packages necessary to protect the critical SAP components. The

components which can be deployed into one or more packages include:

• System Central Services (SCS or ASCS)

• Central Instance (DVEBMGS) – if no ASCS is configured

• Enqueue Replication Services (ERS for Java and ABAP)

• Database Instance

• NFS exports necessary to operate above components

To use package easy deployment to deploy an SGeSAP toolkit package:

1. From the menu tool bar on the HP Serviceguard Manager homepage, click Configuration —>

Package Easy Deployment—>SGeSAP Package(s) - the Deploy SGeSAP Packages screen

appears prompting you to select the desired option.
