Installation guide

Copy the files /etc/oratab and /etc/oraInst.loc to the GFS mount point /oracle and create links
to them.
6.2.5.3 SAP Profiles
The most important SAP profile parameter for a clustered SAP system is SAPLOCALHOST.
After the installation with sapinst, make sure that all SAP instance profiles contain this
parameter. The value of the parameter must be the virtual host name specified during the
installation.
As a general requirement the SAP parameter es/implementation must be set to std in the
SAP DEFAULT.PFL file. See SAP Note 941735. The SAPInstance resource agent cannot
use the AUTOMATIC_RECOVERY function for systems that have set this parameter to
"map".
In the START profiles, the parameter SAPSYSTEM must be set (default since 7.00).
6.2.5.4 SAP Release-specific Post-processing
For improved SAP hardware key determination in high-availability scenarios, see SAP Note
1178686.
For SAP kernel release 4.6D, follow the instructions in appendix A1 of SAP Note 1008828.
For SAP kernel release 6.40, follow the instructions of SAP Note 877795.
For SAP kernel release 6.40, update the SAP kernel to patch level 208 or later.
When using SAP kernel 6.40, read and implement the actions from the Manual post-
processing section in SAP Note 995116.
6.2.5.5 Before Starting the Cluster
An empty work directory (/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance><Number>/work) of an SAP instance
results in a monitoring error of the SAPInstance resource agent. Every instance must be
started manually in order for the correct entries to be written to the work directory. After a
manual shutdown of the instances, the cluster is ready to control them.
Remember that the virtual IP addresses for the SAP instances you wish to start must be
active. They can be started manually (e.g., with the Linux command ip) and stopped again
after shutting down the SAP instances.
6.2.6 Enqueue Replication Server
Follow the instructions of the official SAP Library:
