3.2.1 Install SAP HANA Interactively Using hdblcm

In this chapter, we install an SAP HANA instance on the system.

You have to make sure that the system itself is installed as described in the “Preparation of the host” section,

and that all preconditions from the tables above are met.

Unless stated otherwise, the name of the volume groups, users and paths are examples that can be replaced

to meet the needs of the OEM.

● Create temporary space for the SAP HANA installer

Assumed values

○ LV name: lv_install

○ LV VG: vg00

○ LV size: 128 GB

○ LV mount point: /install

# lvcreate -L128G -n lv_install vg00

# mkfs -t xfs /dev/vg00/lv_install

# mount /dev/vg00/lv_install /install

● Copy the SAP archiver to the personal “~/bin” directory of the root user. The current SAP archiver name

is SAPCAR_5-20002089.exe. The numbers indicate the version of the archiver. These change for newer

versions.

# cp <Path to downloaded installer>/SAPCAR_315-20010450 ~/bin

● Extract the SAP HANA installer. At the time of writing, the current installer name is

IMDB_SERVER100_81_0.SAR. The numbers indicate the version of the installer. These change for newer

versions.

# cd /install

# SAPCAR_5-20002089.exe -xvsf <Path to archive>/ \

IMDB_SERVER100_81_0.SAR

Copy the complete directory to your local machine.

● Check the creation of the installation directory. The files are unpacked in a directory named

SAP_HANA_DATABASE.

# ls -d SAP_HANA_DATABASE

● Install the SAP HANA database software.

Switch to the installer sub directory.

# cd SAP_HANA_DATABASE

● Set a symbolic link for the cryptographic library (For technical reasons, the SAP HANA database is directly

linked to a specific version of the library. Red Hat has a specific sub-version of the library installed, so you

have to create a link)

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

# ldconfig
