SGeSAP Use Cases for Easy Package Deployment
ScenarioUse Case
SAP instances and DB are installed. Instances and DB can be
running or can be halted. They are not configured into a
Create packages from scratch
SGeSAP package yet. Easy deployment will create new
packages.
Before setting up SAP, minimal package(s) with required volume
groups and IP addresses have been created and started. No
Extend “base packages”
SGeSAP configuration has been added yet. After setting up
SAP this/these package(s) must be extended with SGeSAP
related attributes including installed instances and/or DB.
Example:Add a new SAP instance to an already configured
package
A newly installed ASCS should become part of the existing SCS
package. Easy deployment will add such an ASCS into the
existing package if it is configured to the same virtual host as
the SCS or if option “combined” is selected.
Examples:Update existing package with additionally required
resources
• A new VG related to a SAP instance must be added
• IPv6 is enabled and the virtual hostname now also has an
IPv6 address which must be added. Easy deployment will
discover these new attributes and add them to the
appropriate existing SGeSAP packages.
Graphical interface for guided modular package creation
The graphical Serviceguard Manager wizard for SGeSAP simplifies cluster package creation by
providing auto-discovery of installed SAP components in the cluster. The wizard takes you through
the package configuration process, step-by-step, filling in Serviceguard and SGeSAP parameters
automatically whenever possible. To easily configure an SGeSAP package, simply click through
each page of the wizard. SGeSAP package parameters are prepopulated as well as several
standard Serviceguard package parameters.
Virtual IP addresses that were specified during SAP installation become preconfigured as relocatable
IP addresses of a related package. Mount points, filesystems, logical volumes, volume groups and
disk groups on which the instances got installed get preconfigured for the package. SGeSAP service
monitors for the clustered SAP software components are suggested as well as package resources
that apply to them.
Standard SAP packages can thus be created by simply selecting the instances that are to be
clustered. Since any parameter can be changed before the configuration is applied, full flexibility
and access to all functionality is available via the graphical interface.
