Installing

Install Data Protection for SAP HANA by using the install wizard, through the console, or in silent mode by using a response file.

Before you begin

Requirements for Data Protection for SAP HANA are available in the hardware and software requirements technote for each release. For requirements, review the Hardware and Software Requirements technote for your version. See the technote at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21987210. From the page, follow the link to the technote for your release or update level.

Before you install Data Protection for SAP HANA, verify that your system meets the following prerequisites:
  • SAP HANA SPS 05 revision 45 is installed.
  • IBM Spectrum Protect API Version 5.5 or later is installed and configured on all SAP HANA nodes where you are going to install and configure Data Protection for SAP HANA.
  • The SAP HANA database is configured on the system where you are going to install and configure Data Protection for SAP HANA.
  • The SAP HANA HDB client is installed on the system.
  • During the installation and configuration of Data Protection for SAP HANA, root access to the appliance host operating system is required.

Upgrading

If you are upgrading IBM Spectrum Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning on a busy SAP system where the software continuously starts log archives, it might be difficult to find a maintenance gap without any active log archiving processes. To alleviate this situation, you can stop the prole daemon. Each operating system has a different method to stop the prole daemon as follows.
  • RHEL 7 and later, SLES 12 and later As root user, run the following command: systemctl stop prole_hana.
  • Older Linux® versions As root user, comment out the line with prole in /etc/inittab and run command init q.
Tip: When you stop the prole daemon, redo log archive operations will not work. Typically, this is not an issue because the next archive run would pick up all the redo logs that previously failed to archive. But, if the system is generating a large amount of redo logs, the file system might run out of space.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the SAP HANA host with the root user ID, and choose where you want to install the package.
  2. Mount the DVD and navigate to the Data Protection for SAP HANA installation package.
    If you are installing from a file share, to ensure that the installer file has adequate permissions to run, enter the following command: 
    chmod +x 8.1.x-TIV-TSMERP-HANA-Linux.bin
  3. To start the installation process, enter the following command: 
    ./8.1.x-TIV-TSMERP-HANA-Linux.bin

    If you are logged on to the SAP HANA host with an X Window System or X terminal, follow the instructions to complete the installation.

    If you are installing the product from the command line, a console mode installation is started.

  4. After you accept the license agreement, click Next and read the pre-installation summary that lists details about the installation folder, and the required disk space. Click Install to begin the installation, and click Done when the process finishes.
