Integrating SAP with VCS 6.2 (on Oracle Linux 6.5)
Hi, I was wondering if someone has some additional information regarding how to setup my cluster... I have both VCS (inclusing Storage Foundation) and Linux knowledge. I do however have no background in SAP. And as SAP is a very complex product, I can not see the forest because of the trees... Setup 2 node (active-passive) cluster of Oracle Linux 6.5 nodes. Veritas Storage Foundation HA (= VxVM + DMP + VCS). Oracle 11.2 as database. SAP ECC 6.0 Apart from the Installation & Configuration guide on the SAP NetWeaver Agent, I found little information about implementing SAP in VCS. Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2". But unfortunately I can not find a howto, guide or whatever from Symantec, nor from the usual Google attempts. My customer is however also not very SAP knowledged. From what I understand it is a very basic SAP setup, if not the simplest. They are using SAP ECC6.0 and an Oracle 11.2 database. So I assume they are just having a Central Instance and the Database. After some Google resource, I found out that SAP ECC 6.0 is technically a SAP NetWeaver 7.0. On Symantec SORT, I found 3 versions of SAP NetWeaver. I downloaded the first one, as the descripton says: SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 SAP NetWeaver 7.1, 7.3 Agent: SAPNW04 5.0.16.0 Application version(s): SAP R/3 4.6, R/3 Enterprise 4.7, NW04, NW04s, ERP/ECC 5.0/6.0, SCM/APO 4.1/5.0/5.1/7.0, SRM 4.0/5.0/7.0, CRM 4.0/5.0/7.0 Source: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1077 SAP ERP 2005 = SAP NetWeaver 2004s (BASIS 7.00) = ECC 6.0 Source: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/difference-bet-ecc-60-sap-r3-47/ Source: http://www.fasttrackph.com/sap-ecc-6-0/ Source : http://wulibi.blogspot.be/2010/03/what-is-sap-ecc-60-in-brief.html Currently I have this setup unfinshed: Installed & configured Storage Foundation HA on both nodes. Instaled the ACC Libraries on both nodes. see: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1183 Installed the SAP NetWeaver Agent on both nodes. see: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1077 Configured next to the CusterServiceGroup, 3 Service Groups: SG_sap the shared storage Resources: DiskGroup + Volumes + Mount. the SAPNW Agent Resource. SG_oracle the shared storage Resources: DiskGroup + Volumes + Mount the Oracle Agent Resurce. SG_nfs still empty. SAPNW Agent. SAP instance type The SAPNW Agent documentation states: The agent supports the following SAP instance types: Central Services Instance Application Server Instance Enqueue Replication Server Instance. Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" But I guess the SAP ECC 6.0 has them all in one central instance, right? So I only need one SAPNW Agent. How is the SAP installed: only ABAP only Java add-in (both ABAP and Java). Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" I have no idea. How can I find this out? InstName Attribute Another thing is the InstName Attribute. This also does not correspond with the information I have. My SAP intance is T30. So the syntax is correct more or less, but it isn't listed below. Which is important also to decide on the value for the ProcMon Attribute The SAPSID and InstName form a unique identifier that can identify the processes running for a particular instance. Some examples of SAP instances are given as follows: InstName = InstType DVEBMGS00 = SAP Application Server - ABAP (Primary) D01 SAP = Application Server - ABAP (Additional) ASCS02 = SAP Central Services - ABAP J03 = SAP Application Server - Java SCS04 = SAP Central Services - Java ERS05 = SAP Enqueue Replication Server SMDA97 = Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" In the listing of the required attributes it is also stated. However, the default value is CENTRAL. I guess this is correct in my case? InstName Attribute: An identifier that classifies and describes the SAP server instance type. Valid values are: APPSERV: SAP Application Server ENQUEUE: SAP Central Services ENQREP: Enqueue Replication Server SMDAGENT: Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent SAPSTARTSRV: SAPSTARTSRV Process Note: The value of this attribute is not case-sensitive. Type and dimension: string-scalar Default: APPSERV Example: ENQUEUE EnqSrvResName Attribute A required attribute is the EnqSrvResName Attribute. The documentation says this should be the Resource Name for the SAP Central Instance. But I am assuming I only have a SAP Central Instance. So I guess I should use the name of my SAP Agent Resouce from my SAP Service Group? EnqSrvResName Attribute: The name of the VCS resource for SAP Central Services (A)SCS Instance. This attribute is used by Enqueue and Enqueue Replication Server. Using this attribute the Enqueue server queries the Enqueue Replication Server resource state while determining the fail over target and vice a versa. Type and dimension: string-scalar Default: No default value Example: SAP71-PI1SCS_sap Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" Is anyone able to help me out? Thanks in advance.Solved2.4KViews2likes9Comments
6.0.5 install w/all patches
Hi Forum Friends, I need some help installing SFHA with all patches included. I wanted to know if there is a way to install all of these below in the same command? The Sort installation report shows I need these patches Patch Date Size cpi-6.0.1.1100 2015-01-06 18.5 KB cpi-6.0.5.300 2015-01-05 7.98 KB sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200 2014-12-18 34.14 MB fsadv-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5.200 2014-11-25 3.85 MB odm-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5.100 2014-09-10 295.95 KB sfha-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5 2014-04-15 194.48 MB To install in a single shot sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200says to run something like this. You can also install this patch together with 6.0.1 GA release and 6.0.5 Patch release # ./installSFHA605P2 -base_path [<601 path>] -mr_path [<605 path>] [<host1> <host2>...] So how do I get the rest installed is there any extended commands I can use to include in this to get them all done in one shot? I am open to using just installmr with -base_path and other switches as well. What ever would do it. I plan on using a response file btw. Thanks BrosSolved972Views1like2Comments
