The successor is now developed as part of the community.sap_install collection.
The new name is community.sap_install.sap_hana_install
This role installs SAP HANA on a RHEL 7.x or 8.x system and applies a permament HANA License.
This role is intended to be used on a RHEL system on which SAP HANA software is to be installed. So your system needs to be installed with the RHEL package groups required for SAP HANA, properly registered, and prepared for HANA installation.
It needs access to the software repositories required to install SAP HANA (see also: How to subscribe SAP HANA systems to the Update Services for SAP Solutions)
You can use the redhat_sap.sap_rhsm Galaxy Role to automate this process.
To install SAP software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux you need some additional packages which come in a special repository. To get this repository you need to have one of the following products:
- RHEL for SAP Solutions (premium, standard, developer Edition)
- RHEL for Business Partner NFRs
Click here to achieve a personal developer edition of RHEL for SAP Solutions. Please register as a developer and download the developer edition.
- Registration Link : Here you can either register a new personal account or link it to an already existing personal Red Hat Network account.
- Download Link: Here you can download the Installation DVD for RHEL with your previously registered account
NOTE: This is a regular RHEL installation DVD as RHEL for SAP Solutions is no additional product but only a special bundling. The subscription grants you access to the additional packages through our content delivery network(CDN) after installation.
For installing the required software and for configuring required system settings for SAP HANA, use the roles sap-preconfigure and sap-hana-preconfigure from the RHEL System Roles for SAP package or the roles sap.rhel.preconfigure and sap.rhel.hana-preconfigure from the sap.rhel collection on Red Hat Automation Hub or sap.linux.preconfigure and sap.linux.hana-preconfigure from the sap.linux collection on Galaxy.
It is also important that your disks are setup according to the SAP storage requirements for SAP HANA. This BLOG is also quite helpful when sizing HANA systems.
In case no user and group ID is provided by using variables sap_hana_deployment_hana_userid or sap_hana_deployment_hana_groupid, a user and group ID is chosen according to certain rules.
The role first checks of sets the permissions of SAP directories /hana/shared, /hana/data, /hana/log, and /usr/sap. The role variables sap_hana_deployment_directories_permissions and sap_hana_deployment_set_permissions are used for this purpose.
The SAP HANA installation files have to be made available on the managed node before the installation can start. The role can:
-
Use an existing HANA installation directory on the managed node
In this case, role variable sap_hana_installdir has to be set to the directory in which the hdblcm program is located.
-
Use a SAP HANA installation bundle file (SAR or ZIP) on the managed node, from the control node, or from a third node.
In this case, the following information has to be provided:
-
The location on the managed node to where the SAP HANA installation bundle file is to be extracted (role variable sap_hana_deployment_hana_extract_path).
-
The name and the existing or desired localtion of the SAP HANA installation bundle file (role variables sap_hana_deployment_bundle_file_name and sap_hana_deployment_bundle_path_mn). In case the installation bundle file is of type SAR, the file name of the SAPCAR executable and its exising or desired location on the managed node has to be specified as well (role variables sap_hana_deployment_sapcar_file_name and sap_hana_deployment_sapcar_path_mn).
-
Further information about where the SAP HANA installation bundle (and SAPCAR file, if applicable) are located on the control node or on a third node, if these files are available on the control node or on a third node.
-
Once the SAP HANA installation files are available on the managed node, the installation is started on the managed node.
By specifying a valid argument to variable sap_hana_deployment_addhosts, one or more SAP HANA hosts are added after the installation
on the first node has completed, meaning that the role will create a SAP HANA scale-out system.
If the variable sap_hana_deployment_install_primary is set to the value n, then instead of installing a fresh SAP HANA system,
additional hosts are added to an existing SAP HANA installation instead, using the argument to variable
sap_hana_deployment_addhosts.
After a fresh SAP HANA installation has completed, the SAP HANA license can be applied.

The role supports two different scenarios: SAP HANA deployment in a RHEL system, with or without applying a SAP HANA DB license, and applying a SAP HANA DB license in an existing deployment only.
Before using this role, ensure that your system has been configured properly to run SAP applications and SAP HANA.
You can use the supported roles sap-preconfigure and sap-hana-preconfigure on RHEL 8 control nodes, which are part of the RHEL for SAP Solutions Subscription.
