2 Install SAP HANA Manually on RHEL for
SAP HANA
A manual SAP HANA installation on RHEL for SAP HANA needs to be prepared.
2.1 Synonyms for Different Hosts
The following host names have to be substituted with the corresponding host names in your environment:
● Mandatory hosts
They need to be accessible, as the installation fails without them
○ Host to install: <hostname>.example.com
○ Without using a RHN Satellite Server
○ Webserver for kickstart files: <webserver>.example.com
○ FTP for repositories: <ftpserver>.example.com
○ When using a Red Hat Satellite Server:
Example Satellite Server: satellite.example.com
○ SAP Service Marketplace
● Strongly advised hosts
These hosts should be accessible, but the installation will still work if you do not have one of them
○ NTP server: ntp.example.com
In this example, both the web server and the ftp server are represented by the machine
hanasrv.example.com.
2.2 Prepare the Host
The following preparations must be made.
● Install RHEL for SAP HANA
○ Interactively from DVD (use the minimal installation)
○ Set the host name, for example to <hostname>.example.com
○ Add the ntp server, for example ntp.example.com
○ Check for network connectivity.
○ Register the host to the Red Hat Customer Portal or your local Red Hat Satellite server and subscribe
it to the “RHEL for SAP HANA 6.5” channel.
○ Install the g++ 4.7 compatability layer, package name: compat-sap-c++
○ If you plan to use XFS for some of the file systems, the server also needs to be subscribed to the RHEL
Server Scalable File System channel.
