Usage

Single SAP Hana node

Add the [hana::install] recipe to a new node in your landscape if you're planning a vanilla installation of SAP Hana. Change/override any attributes as required.

Example

To install SAP Hana on a node, and override the installation path and the SYSTEM user password use the following role:

name "hana-install-single"
description "Role for installing SAP Hana server"

override_attributes(
  "hana" => {
    "installpath" => "/your/path/hana",
    "syspassword" => "YOUR-SECRET"
  }
)

run_list "recipe[hana::install]"

SAP Hana client on a node

For installing SAP Hana client on a node in your landscape, add the [hana::install-client] recipe to the node's run list. If it should be a stand-alone installation of SAP Hana client, set a node attribute ['hana']['clientsid'] to "false".

Example

To install SAP Hana client on a node, use the following role:

name "hana-install-client"
description "Role for installing SAP Hana client"

override_attributes(
  "hana" => {
    "installpath" => "/your/path/hana"
  }
)

run_list "recipe[hana::install-client]"

Deploying SAP Hana cookbook with Vagrant & AWS Provider (kitchen will be added in updated version)

  • Install Vagrant and VirtualBox using standard Vagrant 1.1+ plugin installation methods. After installing, vagrant up and specify the aws provider. An example is shown below. 
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
...
$ vagrant up --provider=aws
...

Of course prior to doing this, you'll need to obtain an AWS-compatible box file for Vagrant.

Quick Start

After installing the plugin (instructions above), the quickest way to get started is to actually use a dummy AWS box and specify all the details manually within a config.vm.provider block. So first, add the dummy box using any name you want:

$ vagrant box add dummy https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws/raw/master/dummy.box
...

Please execute the following in order to complete installation.

Firstly please make sure you have a cloned repository of the cookbook.

git clone https://github.com/sapcc/sap-hana-cookbook.git

Vagrant Prerequisites (Please execute these commands in you're shell environment where you will run the vagrant)

a.  Fill in the AWS values of the following attributes:

        export AWS_ACCESS_KEY='';
        export AWS_SECRET_KEY='';
        export AWS_REGION='';
        export AWS_KEYPAIR_NAME='';
        export AWS_AMI='ami-f1f5acc1';
        export AWS_INSTANCE_TYPE='';

b. Fill in the HANA-Cookbook Path value (without the cookbook dir itself)

    export COOKBOOK_PATH='';     
Example: COOKBOOK_PATH='/home/user/cookbooks/';

Cookbook Prerequisites: (Please fill in the following parameters in the HANA cookbook attributes/default.rb)

    # Source of binary files (please fill in the values with full address that holds the binary files)

    default['install']['files']['sapcar']      = ""

    default['install']['files']['hanadb']      = ""

    default['install']['files']['hanaclient']  = ""

Example: default['install']['files']['sapcar'] = "http://someserver.com/SAPCAR"
