HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP) manual Easy Deployment of the SGeSAP packages

Easy Deployment of the SGeSAP package(s)

Easy Deployment of SGeSAP packages is supported from Serviceguard Manager B.03.20 (available with Serviceguard A.11.20 patch PHSS_42137)

Objective

The objective of Package Easy Deployment in SGeSAP is to simplify initial deployment of SGeSAP packages(s) for a given SAP System in a SGeSAP cluster.

•To automatically generate cluster package configuration(s) for the following SAP software solution components with necessary modules and appropriate values for all attributes:

–System Central Services (SCS/ASCS)

–Enqueue Replication Services (ERS)

–Database Services (Oracle, MaxDB, DB2)

–NFS

•To provide an easy way to extend existing package(s) if new SAP instances or resources need to be added.

Packaging options

There are two type of packaging options in which SGeSAP can be configured as packages: Multiple Packages and Combined Packages.

Multiple Packages: This option allows to distribute the non-redundant SAP components across multiple, separate packages to avoid dependencies between SAP components. Use this packaging option, if each non-redundant SAP component has exclusive resources available (e.g., volume groups, virtual hostnames, and IP addresses).

Combined Packages: This option allows to combines the non-redundant SAP components of a SAP system in as few packages as possible, to keep the setup simple and save resources. In this option a package could failover in case any of the SAP components fails when multiple components are configured in the same package.

Easy Deployment allows you to deploy SGeSAP packages in either way.

Software prerequisites

The following product(s) need to be pre-installed to use the Easy Deployment feature to deploy the SGeSAP package(s):

•Serviceguard A.11.20 plus PHSS_42137 or later for HP-UX 11i v3

•SGeSAP B.05.10 plus patch PHSS_42151 or later for HP-UX 11i v3

SGeSAP package(s) deployment

The [SGeSAP Package(s)] menu option is available only when

•HP Serviceguard cluster is up and running

•SGeSAP B.05.10 or later for HP-UX 11i v3 is installed on all cluster nodes

•PHSS_42151 and PHSS_42137 or superseding patches are installed on all cluster nodes
