Integration of SAP HANA Remote Data Sync ndash Planning

SAP HANA remote data sync (RDsync)

synchronizes data between SAP HANA and many

remote databases Synchronization begins when

a remote database client opens a connection to

the SAP HANA remote data sync server

To use SAP HANA remote data sync we require

at least one SAP HANA host with the role

ldquoDatabase Workerrdquo and one remote data sync

host with the role ldquoRemote Data Syncrdquo which can

be configured during SAP HANA system

installation or as part of a scale-out scenario (add

host)

SAP HANA remote data sync is licensed

separately as part of the bdquoReal-Time Replication

Optionldquo sales bundle

Integration of SAP HANA Remote Data Sync ndash Implementation

During database synchronization the client at the remote site uploads database changes that were made to

the remote database since the previous synchronization On receiving the data the RDsync server updates the

SAP HANA data and then downloads changes from the SAP HANA database to the remote database

During installation or addition of an SAP HANA RDsync host the upload and download path must be specified

with the following parameters

To monitor the SAP HANA RDsync server from the SAP HANA cockpit a database user can be created and

granted one of the following monitoring roles

saphanasyncmonitorrolesmonitor Provides read-only access to the SAP HANA remote data sync tiles

including drill downs

saphanasyncmonitorrolesadministrator Provides full access to the SAP HANA remote data sync tiles including

drill downs and the ability to write changes in the configure tile

Parameter Default Value Available Interactively

rdsync_downloadpath hanadownload_rdsyncltSIDgt Yes

rdsync_uploadpath hanaupload_rdsyncltSIDgt Yes

Better Support of Multiple Host Roles for Non-Productive Systems

SAP HANA systems which are making use of SAP

HANA options (for example SAP HANA dynamic

tiering) in production environments require at least one

SAP HANA database worker host and one SAP HANA

option host

Non-productive SAP HANA systems can share the

same resources between the SAP HANA server and

the SAP HANA option by assigning multiple host roles

to the same host

As of SPS 10 assigning additional host roles is

possible during installation of SAP HANA options in

any of the three HDBLCM user interfaces

SAP HANA Database Lifecycle

Manager Web UI

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 8Public

Host Addition and Host Removal Available in the Web UI

Add one or multiple SAP HANA database

hosts or SAP HANA option hosts at a time

using the HDBLCM Web UI

After marking hosts for removal in the

SAP HANA studio remove one or multiple

hosts using the HDBLCM Web UI

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 9Public

Advanced Configuration in the Web UI

Component installation and update in the SAP

HANA database lifecycle manager (HDBLCM)

Web UI now has all of the same parameter

configuration options as in the command-line or

graphical user interfaces

The advanced parameters available are non-

interactive parameters and the same parameters

listed when you call the pass-through help in the

command-line interface

For example

hdblcm --action=install --pass_through_help -h

Pass-through parameters access the

parameters of the underlying hdbinst and

hdbupd programs

Integration of the Web UI in the SAP HANA Cockpit

The SAP HANA cockpit home

page can be configured to include

platform lifecycle management tiles

for the actions available in the

HDBLCM Web UI

Selecting one of the platform LCM

tiles in the SAP HANA cockpit

redirects to a separate Web browser

tab in which the corresponding

action of the HDBLCM Web UI is

opened

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 13Public

Improved Interactive Command-Line Experience for Installation of

Multiple-Host Systems

In previous SAP HANA support

package stacks installing a multiple-

host system in interactive mode required

the non-local hosts to be specified as a

long call option

With SPS 10 if you install a multiple-

host system in command-line interactive

mode you are prompted for individual

details of the non-local hosts

Supportability

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 15Public

Multitenant Database Containers ndash High Isolation

High tenant isolation can be configured during

installation using the db_isolation parameter

available interactively in the graphical user interface

or in command-line mode

High tenant isolation during system installation

creates tenant separation at OS-user (ltsidgtadm)

level

These OS-users must exist prior to the addition of

an SAP HANA standby host and prior to registering

a host

If high isolation is not configured all database

processes in a multiple-container system run under

the default OS-user ltsidgtadm

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 16Public

Improved Logs and Traces

Instant Logging

ndash If an LCM action crashes or hangs before the execution is finished even if no LCM action is enabled

HDBLCM writes a trace which has the function of a preliminary (unformatted) log file

ndash Instant logging is enabled by default and the traces are written to the following location

vartmplttoolgt_lttimestampgt_ltpidgttrc

ndash Upon program completion the trace is removed and replaced by the real formatted log file The

traces can be saved by setting the following environment variable

HDB_INSTALLER_TRACE_FILE=ltfile_pathgt

Log Collection

ndash If you perform platform LCM actions on multiple-host SAP HANA systems an HDBLCM action ID is

passed to each underlying LCM program on a remote host Each sub-program writes a copy of the

log file to the following directory

ltinstallation pathgtltSIDgtHDBltinstance_numbergtlthost_namegttrace

Usability

Phased System Update for Reduced DowntimeSAP HANA Server Component

With a standard SAP HANA system

update the system is offline from the time

the update is triggered including the

preliminary checks and actual software

switch

The phased system update is performed

in two steps

1 Running the LCM update action with the

ldquoprepare updaterdquo flag set This phase is

performed while the system is online

2 Running the LCM update action a second

time as usual which resumes the updates and

takes the system offline for the software switch

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 19Public

Automatically Generated Configuration File

Typically platform LCM configuration files are created by

generating a template with HDBLCM filling in parameter

values and calling the configuration file during execution

of the LCM action

As of SPS 10 HDBLCM automatically generates a

configuration file with every LCM action execution with

the chosen parameter values pre-filled The automatically

generated configuration files can be used to

ndash Easily re-perform the LCM action by passing the auto-

generated configuration file

ndash Keep a record of the parameters passed for the LCM

action

The auto-generated configuration files are saved in the

log directory for the LCM action execution

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 20Public

Further Support for LCM Actions Performed as ltsidgtadm

For SPS 09 we introduced functionality to perform

some LCM actions as the system administrator

user ltsidgtadm by means of the SAP Host Agent

framework

With SPS 10 it is additionally possible to perform

scale-out system actions like adding and removing

SAP HANA hosts as ltsidgtadm from the graphical

user interface command-line interface or Web

user interface

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 21Public

Customer Feedback Form

As of SPS 10 you can opt into sharing non-sensitive

system information each time you use the HDBLCM Web UI

The system information collected includes

ndash Statistical Data

o SAP HANA release

o LCM action selected

ndash Qualitative Feedback

o Questions about usage

o Comments

o Email ndash in case you want to be contacted by us

The system information and feedback collected from

customers helps the SAP HANA LCM team assign

Other Usability and Supportability Improvements

ndash Resume Broken Update in All Modes and Interfaces

o System update can be resumed in interactive mode or batch mode

using any of the three HDBLCM user interfaces The resume is

started from the same host and installation kit using persistence

files

ndash Scale-Out During Installation of SAP HANA Options

o To improve the flexibility of installing an SAP HANA option (for

example SAP HANA dynamic tiering) to an existing SAP HANA

system you can perform scale out (host addition) during system

update or the installation or update of additional components

ndash SSL SQL Connectivity on HANA Server

systems By default all database processes in a multiple-container system run under the default OS user ltsidgtadm If

its important to mitigate against cross-database attacks through OS mechanisms you can configure the system for high

isolation In this way the processes of individual tenant databases must run under dedicated OS users belonging to

dedicated OS groups Database-specific data on the file system is subsequently protected using standard OS file and

directory permissions

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

likely caused by improper extraction of the SAP HANA component archives before installation or upgrade See

section How to Prepare SAP HANA Packages for Installation or Update for the correct preparation procedure

Multitenant Database Containers ndash High Isolation

High tenant isolation can be configured during

installation using the db_isolation parameter

available interactively in the graphical user interface

High tenant isolation during system installation

creates tenant separation at OS-user (ltsidgtadm)

level

These OS-users must exist prior to the addition of

an SAP HANA standby host and prior to registering

a host

If high isolation is not configured all database

processes in a multiple-container system run under

the default OS-user ltsidgtadm

Improved Logs and Traces

Instant Logging

ndash If an LCM action crashes or hangs before the execution is finished even if no LCM action is enabled

ndash Instant logging is enabled by default and the traces are written to the following location

vartmplttoolgt_lttimestampgt_ltpidgttrc

ndash Upon program completion the trace is removed and replaced by the real formatted log file The

traces can be saved by setting the following environment variable

HDB_INSTALLER_TRACE_FILE=ltfile_pathgt

Log Collection

ndash If you perform platform LCM actions on multiple-host SAP HANA systems an HDBLCM action ID is

passed to each underlying LCM program on a remote host Each sub-program writes a copy of the

log file to the following directory

Phased System Update for Reduced DowntimeSAP HANA Server Component

With a standard SAP HANA system

update the system is offline from the time

the update is triggered including the

preliminary checks and actual software

switch

The phased system update is performed

in two steps

1 Running the LCM update action with the

ldquoprepare updaterdquo flag set This phase is

performed while the system is online

2 Running the LCM update action a second

time as usual which resumes the updates and

takes the system offline for the software switch

Automatically Generated Configuration File

Typically platform LCM configuration files are created by

generating a template with HDBLCM filling in parameter

values and calling the configuration file during execution

of the LCM action

As of SPS 10 HDBLCM automatically generates a

configuration file with every LCM action execution with

the chosen parameter values pre-filled The automatically

generated configuration files can be used to

ndash Easily re-perform the LCM action by passing the auto-

generated configuration file

ndash Keep a record of the parameters passed for the LCM

action

The auto-generated configuration files are saved in the

log directory for the LCM action execution

Further Support for LCM Actions Performed as ltsidgtadm

For SPS 09 we introduced functionality to perform

some LCM actions as the system administrator

user ltsidgtadm by means of the SAP Host Agent

framework

With SPS 10 it is additionally possible to perform

scale-out system actions like adding and removing

SAP HANA hosts as ltsidgtadm from the graphical

user interface command-line interface or Web

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

Integration of SAP HANA Remote Data Sync ndash Planning

SAP HANA remote data sync (RDsync)

synchronizes data between SAP HANA and many

remote databases Synchronization begins when

a remote database client opens a connection to

the SAP HANA remote data sync server

To use SAP HANA remote data sync we require

at least one SAP HANA host with the role

ldquoDatabase Workerrdquo and one remote data sync

host with the role ldquoRemote Data Syncrdquo which can

be configured during SAP HANA system

installation or as part of a scale-out scenario (add

host)

SAP HANA remote data sync is licensed

Integration of SAP HANA Remote Data Sync ndash Implementation

During database synchronization the client at the remote site uploads database changes that were made to

the remote database since the previous synchronization On receiving the data the RDsync server updates the

SAP HANA data and then downloads changes from the SAP HANA database to the remote database

During installation or addition of an SAP HANA RDsync host the upload and download path must be specified

with the following parameters

To monitor the SAP HANA RDsync server from the SAP HANA cockpit a database user can be created and

granted one of the following monitoring roles

saphanasyncmonitorrolesmonitor Provides read-only access to the SAP HANA remote data sync tiles

including drill downs

saphanasyncmonitorrolesadministrator Provides full access to the SAP HANA remote data sync tiles including

drill downs and the ability to write changes in the configure tile

Better Support of Multiple Host Roles for Non-Productive Systems

SAP HANA systems which are making use of SAP

HANA options (for example SAP HANA dynamic

the SAP HANA option by assigning multiple host roles

to the same host

As of SPS 10 assigning additional host roles is

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

likely caused by improper extraction of the SAP HANA component archives before installation or upgrade See

section How to Prepare SAP HANA Packages for Installation or Update for the correct preparation procedure

Better Support of Multiple Host Roles for Non-Productive Systems

SAP HANA systems which are making use of SAP

HANA options (for example SAP HANA dynamic

tiering) in production environments require at least one

SAP HANA database worker host and one SAP HANA

option host

Non-productive SAP HANA systems can share the

same resources between the SAP HANA server and

the SAP HANA option by assigning multiple host roles

to the same host

As of SPS 10 assigning additional host roles is

possible during installation of SAP HANA options in

any of the three HDBLCM user interfaces

Multitenant Database Containers ndash High Isolation

High tenant isolation can be configured during

installation using the db_isolation parameter

available interactively in the graphical user interface

or in command-line mode

High tenant isolation during system installation

creates tenant separation at OS-user (ltsidgtadm)

level

These OS-users must exist prior to the addition of

an SAP HANA standby host and prior to registering

a host

If high isolation is not configured all database

processes in a multiple-container system run under

the default OS-user ltsidgtadm

Improved Logs and Traces

Instant Logging

ndash If an LCM action crashes or hangs before the execution is finished even if no LCM action is enabled

HDBLCM writes a trace which has the function of a preliminary (unformatted) log file

ndash Instant logging is enabled by default and the traces are written to the following location

vartmplttoolgt_lttimestampgt_ltpidgttrc

ndash Upon program completion the trace is removed and replaced by the real formatted log file The

traces can be saved by setting the following environment variable

HDB_INSTALLER_TRACE_FILE=ltfile_pathgt

Log Collection

ndash If you perform platform LCM actions on multiple-host SAP HANA systems an HDBLCM action ID is

passed to each underlying LCM program on a remote host Each sub-program writes a copy of the

log file to the following directory

ltinstallation pathgtltSIDgtHDBltinstance_numbergtlthost_namegttrace

Phased System Update for Reduced DowntimeSAP HANA Server Component

With a standard SAP HANA system

update the system is offline from the time

the update is triggered including the

preliminary checks and actual software

switch

The phased system update is performed

in two steps

1 Running the LCM update action with the

ldquoprepare updaterdquo flag set This phase is

performed while the system is online

2 Running the LCM update action a second

time as usual which resumes the updates and

takes the system offline for the software switch

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 19Public

Automatically Generated Configuration File

Typically platform LCM configuration files are created by

generating a template with HDBLCM filling in parameter

values and calling the configuration file during execution

of the LCM action

As of SPS 10 HDBLCM automatically generates a

configuration file with every LCM action execution with

the chosen parameter values pre-filled The automatically

generated configuration files can be used to

ndash Easily re-perform the LCM action by passing the auto-

generated configuration file

ndash Keep a record of the parameters passed for the LCM

action

The auto-generated configuration files are saved in the

log directory for the LCM action execution

Further Support for LCM Actions Performed as ltsidgtadm

some LCM actions as the system administrator

user ltsidgtadm by means of the SAP Host Agent

framework

Improved Logs and Traces

Instant Logging

ndash If an LCM action crashes or hangs before the execution is finished even if no LCM action is enabled

HDBLCM writes a trace which has the function of a preliminary (unformatted) log file

ndash Instant logging is enabled by default and the traces are written to the following location

vartmplttoolgt_lttimestampgt_ltpidgttrc

ndash Upon program completion the trace is removed and replaced by the real formatted log file The

traces can be saved by setting the following environment variable

HDB_INSTALLER_TRACE_FILE=ltfile_pathgt

Log Collection

ndash If you perform platform LCM actions on multiple-host SAP HANA systems an HDBLCM action ID is

passed to each underlying LCM program on a remote host Each sub-program writes a copy of the

log file to the following directory

ltinstallation pathgtltSIDgtHDBltinstance_numbergtlthost_namegttrace

Phased System Update for Reduced DowntimeSAP HANA Server Component

With a standard SAP HANA system

update the system is offline from the time

the update is triggered including the

preliminary checks and actual software

switch

The phased system update is performed

in two steps

1 Running the LCM update action with the

ldquoprepare updaterdquo flag set This phase is

performed while the system is online

2 Running the LCM update action a second

time as usual which resumes the updates and

takes the system offline for the software switch

copy 2015 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company All rights reserved 19Public

Automatically Generated Configuration File

Typically platform LCM configuration files are created by

generating a template with HDBLCM filling in parameter

values and calling the configuration file during execution

of the LCM action

As of SPS 10 HDBLCM automatically generates a

configuration file with every LCM action execution with

the chosen parameter values pre-filled The automatically

generated configuration files can be used to

ndash Easily re-perform the LCM action by passing the auto-

generated configuration file

ndash Keep a record of the parameters passed for the LCM

action

The auto-generated configuration files are saved in the

log directory for the LCM action execution

Further Support for LCM Actions Performed as ltsidgtadm

For SPS 09 we introduced functionality to perform

some LCM actions as the system administrator

user ltsidgtadm by means of the SAP Host Agent

framework

With SPS 10 it is additionally possible to perform

scale-out system actions like adding and removing

SAP HANA hosts as ltsidgtadm from the graphical

user interface command-line interface or Web

user interface

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

likely caused by improper extraction of the SAP HANA component archives before installation or upgrade See

Phased System Update for Reduced DowntimeSAP HANA Server Component

With a standard SAP HANA system

update the system is offline from the time

the update is triggered including the

preliminary checks and actual software

switch

The phased system update is performed

in two steps

1 Running the LCM update action with the

ldquoprepare updaterdquo flag set This phase is

performed while the system is online

2 Running the LCM update action a second

time as usual which resumes the updates and

takes the system offline for the software switch

Automatically Generated Configuration File

Typically platform LCM configuration files are created by

generating a template with HDBLCM filling in parameter

values and calling the configuration file during execution

of the LCM action

As of SPS 10 HDBLCM automatically generates a

configuration file with every LCM action execution with

the chosen parameter values pre-filled The automatically

generated configuration files can be used to

ndash Easily re-perform the LCM action by passing the auto-

generated configuration file

ndash Keep a record of the parameters passed for the LCM

action

The auto-generated configuration files are saved in the

log directory for the LCM action execution

Further Support for LCM Actions Performed as ltsidgtadm

For SPS 09 we introduced functionality to perform

some LCM actions as the system administrator

user ltsidgtadm by means of the SAP Host Agent

framework

With SPS 10 it is additionally possible to perform

scale-out system actions like adding and removing

SAP HANA hosts as ltsidgtadm from the graphical

user interface command-line interface or Web

user interface

systems By default all database processes in a multiple-container system run under the default OS user ltsidgtadm If

its important to mitigate against cross-database attacks through OS mechanisms you can configure the system for high

isolation In this way the processes of individual tenant databases must run under dedicated OS users belonging to

dedicated OS groups Database-specific data on the file system is subsequently protected using standard OS file and

directory permissions

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

likely caused by improper extraction of the SAP HANA component archives before installation or upgrade See

Description Default

add_local_roles Specifies additional roles of the local host during SAP HANA system installation Multiple host roles are not supported in

production environments

worker

add_roles Specifies additional roles for existing SAP HANA hosts during SAP HANA option installation Multiple host roles are not

supported in production environments

worker

db_isolation Specifies the isolation of the tenant databases on operating system level for multitenant database container SAP HANA

systems By default all database processes in a multiple-container system run under the default OS user ltsidgtadm If

its important to mitigate against cross-database attacks through OS mechanisms you can configure the system for high

isolation In this way the processes of individual tenant databases must run under dedicated OS users belonging to

dedicated OS groups Database-specific data on the file system is subsequently protected using standard OS file and

directory permissions

low

Note The value lsquolowlsquo in SPS 10

corresponds to the behavior in

SPS 09

init_user If the user IDs of existing ltsidgtadm users are identical on the different hosts but do not match the configured user ID of

the SAP HANA system then an error message is thrown The parameter init_user suppresses this error message

If a ltsidgtadm does not exist on a host the ltsidgtadm is created with the ID of the existing ltsidgtadm

---

init_user_home_dir If the ltsidgtadm user already exists but does not have a home directory (eg network user without local home directory)

this parameter creates or re-creates the home directory on each host according to the configuration of the SAP HANA

system

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

likely caused by improper extraction of the SAP HANA component archives before installation or upgrade See

section How to Prepare SAP HANA Packages for Installation or Update for the correct preparation procedure

Multitenant Database Containers ndash High Isolation

High tenant isolation can be configured during

installation using the db_isolation parameter

available interactively in the graphical user interface

or in command-line mode

High tenant isolation during system installation

creates tenant separation at OS-user (ltsidgtadm)

level

These OS-users must exist prior to the addition of

an SAP HANA standby host and prior to registering

a host

If high isolation is not configured all database

processes in a multiple-container system run under

the default OS-user ltsidgtadm

Improved Logs and Traces

Instant Logging

ndash If an LCM action crashes or hangs before the execution is finished even if no LCM action is enabled

HDBLCM writes a trace which has the function of a preliminary (unformatted) log file

ndash Instant logging is enabled by default and the traces are written to the following location

vartmplttoolgt_lttimestampgt_ltpidgttrc

ndash Upon program completion the trace is removed and replaced by the real formatted log file The

traces can be saved by setting the following environment variable

HDB_INSTALLER_TRACE_FILE=ltfile_pathgt

Log Collection

ndash If you perform platform LCM actions on multiple-host SAP HANA systems an HDBLCM action ID is

passed to each underlying LCM program on a remote host Each sub-program writes a copy of the

log file to the following directory

ltinstallation pathgtltSIDgtHDBltinstance_numbergtlthost_namegttrace

Phased System Update for Reduced DowntimeSAP HANA Server Component

With a standard SAP HANA system

update the system is offline from the time

the update is triggered including the

preliminary checks and actual software

switch

The phased system update is performed

in two steps

1 Running the LCM update action with the

ldquoprepare updaterdquo flag set This phase is

performed while the system is online

2 Running the LCM update action a second

time as usual which resumes the updates and

takes the system offline for the software switch

Automatically Generated Configuration File

Typically platform LCM configuration files are created by

generating a template with HDBLCM filling in parameter

values and calling the configuration file during execution

of the LCM action

As of SPS 10 HDBLCM automatically generates a

configuration file with every LCM action execution with

the chosen parameter values pre-filled The automatically

generated configuration files can be used to

ndash Easily re-perform the LCM action by passing the auto-

generated configuration file

ndash Keep a record of the parameters passed for the LCM

action

The auto-generated configuration files are saved in the

log directory for the LCM action execution

Further Support for LCM Actions Performed as ltsidgtadm

For SPS 09 we introduced functionality to perform

some LCM actions as the system administrator

user ltsidgtadm by means of the SAP Host Agent

framework

With SPS 10 it is additionally possible to perform

scale-out system actions like adding and removing

SAP HANA hosts as ltsidgtadm from the graphical

user interface command-line interface or Web

user interface

New Parameters ndash Description

Description Default

add_local_roles Specifies additional roles of the local host during SAP HANA system installation Multiple host roles are not supported in

production environments

worker

add_roles Specifies additional roles for existing SAP HANA hosts during SAP HANA option installation Multiple host roles are not

supported in production environments

worker

db_isolation Specifies the isolation of the tenant databases on operating system level for multitenant database container SAP HANA

systems By default all database processes in a multiple-container system run under the default OS user ltsidgtadm If

its important to mitigate against cross-database attacks through OS mechanisms you can configure the system for high

isolation In this way the processes of individual tenant databases must run under dedicated OS users belonging to

dedicated OS groups Database-specific data on the file system is subsequently protected using standard OS file and

directory permissions

low

Note The value lsquolowlsquo in SPS 10

corresponds to the behavior in

SPS 09

init_user If the user IDs of existing ltsidgtadm users are identical on the different hosts but do not match the configured user ID of

the SAP HANA system then an error message is thrown The parameter init_user suppresses this error message

If a ltsidgtadm does not exist on a host the ltsidgtadm is created with the ID of the existing ltsidgtadm

---

init_user_home_dir If the ltsidgtadm user already exists but does not have a home directory (eg network user without local home directory)

this parameter creates or re-creates the home directory on each host according to the configuration of the SAP HANA

system

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

likely caused by improper extraction of the SAP HANA component archives before installation or upgrade See

section How to Prepare SAP HANA Packages for Installation or Update for the correct preparation procedure

Automatically Generated Configuration File

Typically platform LCM configuration files are created by

generating a template with HDBLCM filling in parameter

values and calling the configuration file during execution

of the LCM action

As of SPS 10 HDBLCM automatically generates a

configuration file with every LCM action execution with

the chosen parameter values pre-filled The automatically

generated configuration files can be used to

ndash Easily re-perform the LCM action by passing the auto-

generated configuration file

ndash Keep a record of the parameters passed for the LCM

action

The auto-generated configuration files are saved in the

log directory for the LCM action execution

Further Support for LCM Actions Performed as ltsidgtadm

For SPS 09 we introduced functionality to perform

some LCM actions as the system administrator

user ltsidgtadm by means of the SAP Host Agent

framework

With SPS 10 it is additionally possible to perform

scale-out system actions like adding and removing

SAP HANA hosts as ltsidgtadm from the graphical

user interface command-line interface or Web

user interface

SIGNATURESMF ndash Revisions 90-96

For SAP HANA revision 90-96 if several SAP HANA component SAR archives have been downloaded and

extracted into a single directory the SIGNATURESMF file of the SAP HANA database archive gets overwritten by

the signature of another component As a result the wrong SIGNATURESMF gets copied to the

ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcm directory If this happens SAP Host Agent is not able to verify and deploy HDBLCM

If this situation occurs open the file ltsapmntgtltSIDgthdblcmSIGNATURESMF and check if there are entries

inside for file paths starting with SAP_HANA_DATABASEserver (for

example SAP_HANA_DATABASEservermanifest) If there are no such entries or there is no SIGNATURESMF

file at all see SAP Note 2078425 section Repairing Installations with Missing Signature The problem is most

likely caused by improper extraction of the SAP HANA component archives before installation or upgrade See

section How to Prepare SAP HANA Packages for Installation or Update for the correct preparation procedure

New Parameters ndash Description

Description Default

add_local_roles Specifies additional roles of the local host during SAP HANA system installation Multiple host roles are not supported in

production environments

worker

add_roles Specifies additional roles for existing SAP HANA hosts during SAP HANA option installation Multiple host roles are not

supported in production environments

worker

db_isolation Specifies the isolation of the tenant databases on operating system level for multitenant database container SAP HANA

systems By default all database processes in a multiple-container system run under the default OS user ltsidgtadm If

its important to mitigate against cross-database attacks through OS mechanisms you can configure the system for high

isolation In this way the processes of individual tenant databases must run under dedicated OS users belonging to

dedicated OS groups Database-specific data on the file system is subsequently protected using standard OS file and

directory permissions

low

Note The value lsquolowlsquo in SPS 10

corresponds to the behavior in

SPS 09

init_user If the user IDs of existing ltsidgtadm users are identical on the different hosts but do not match the configured user ID of

the SAP HANA system then an error message is thrown The parameter init_user suppresses this error message

If a ltsidgtadm does not exist on a host the ltsidgtadm is created with the ID of the existing ltsidgtadm

---

init_user_home_dir If the ltsidgtadm user already exists but does not have a home directory (eg network user without local home directory)

this parameter creates or re-creates the home directory on each host according to the configuration of the SAP HANA

system

---

prepare_update Stops the SAP HANA update before software version switch The update is resume-able ---

rdsync_download_path Location of SAP HANA Remote Data Sync file download directory [interactive] hanadownload_rdsyncltSIDgt
