1 How to Use This Document

This guide is divided into three main parts:

1. Manual installation of a RHEL host with SAP HANA

2. Installation with a kickstart file

3. Appendixes that provide shortcuts to more detailed information

Read the entire chapter first, and then follow the instructions. Some steps depend to a large extent on your

environment and the devices used in your servers. In this case, we can only instruct you what to do, but not

how.

Unless stated otherwise, the sections in the first two chapters are interdependent. If you skip a step, make

sure that the action described is really not important for your installation.

The step-by-step instructions always contain a short description stating what has to be done. Below the text

there is a gray box with an example of what you can do. Only use copy and paste if you are sure that you do not

have to replace a placeholder.

The setup described in this document is based on the recommendations in SAP Note 2013638, SAP Note

2001528, and SAP Note 1658845.
