SAP Netweaver bootstrap salt formula

SAP Netweaver salt formula

Salt formula for bootstrapping and managing SAP Netweaver platform. Currently the next SAP Netweaver components are available:

• ASCS instance
• ERS instance
• PAS instance
• AAS instance
• Database instance (this adds the required users, tables, views, etc to the current Hana database)

The formula follows the best practices defined in the official SUSE documentation.

Disclaimer: the formula only works with SAP Hana as database.

Installation

The package can be installed copying the content directly to the configure salt file_roots or via zypper in SUSE distributions.

# To use a development version
# zypper ar https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/network:ha-clustering:Factory ha-cluster

Usage

The formula has some hard dependencies and all of them must be in place for a successful netweaver deployment.

• In order to deploy a correct Netweaver environment a NFS share is needed (SAP stores some shared files there). The NFS share must have the folders sapmnt and usrsapsys in the exposed folder. It's a good practice the store this folder with the Netweaver SID name (for example /sapdata/HA1/sapmnt and /sapdata/HA1/usrsapsys). This subfolders content is removed by default during the deployment.

• Netweaver installation software (swpm) must be available in the system. To install the whole Netweaver environment with all the 4 components, the swpm folder, sapexe folder, Netweaver Export folder and HANA HDB Client folders must already exist, or be previously mounted when provided by external service, like NFS share. The netweaver.sls pillar file must be updated with all this information. Netweaver Export and HANA HDB Client folders must go in additional_dvds list. Check the pillar.example for more details.

• The optimal deployment requires 4 machines in the same network for each of the Netweaver instances (the DB instance can be installed anywhere after ASCS and ERS are installed).

• SAP Hana database must be up and running.
