STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM


It is recommended to install SuSE Linux version 11.4 ,
TIP: Please refer SAP Note 2195019 - Linux: Using SAP kernel 748 and higher or SAPinst 749 and higher on RHEL 6, OL6 and S...

sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
  SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
  VERSION = 11
  PATCHLEVEL = 4

STEP 2: USE EXISTING HANA DATABASE (OPTION1)


If you already have a database, please patch the database to 122_02 or higher and you can create container using command:

CREATE DATABASE HDB SYSTEM USER PASSWORD Xxxxxxxn


It takes about 2 minutes to create database with this command.

STEP 2: NEW HANA DATABASE (OPTION 2)


Please use commands below. You could alternatively use hdblcmgui, I used below procedure because hdblcmgui did not allow me to change instance number to 02.

First unpack the archive in folder 51051151_HANASP12_4

====================================================LINUX SCREEN START
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_4 # SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_SERVER100_122_4-10009569.SAR
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_4/SAP_HANA_DATABASE # ./hdbinst


...............
...............
Installation done
Log file written to '/var/tmp/hdb_HDB_install_2016-11-01_13.35.45/hdbinst.log' on host 'sid-hdb'.


After installation of HANA database in case you would like to install integrated livecache, please add the plugin as below,unpack HANA DATABASE LCAPPS archive:

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_3 # SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_LCAPPS100_122P_40-20010426.SAR
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_3/SAP_HANA_LCAPPS # ./hdbinst


======================================================LINUX SCREEN ENDS


After installation, logon to HANA Database using HANA Studio and add system
Host Name : <your hostname or ip>
Instance Number: 02
Click Next and in the following screen enter User Name SYSTEM and Password
Click on Finish to exit.

TIP: Please change the log mode if you don’t want to be spend time on log maintenance:
In HANA studio –> Configuration –> global.ini –> persistence and set the parameter log_mode to overwrite. When you change the log mode, you must restart the database system to activate the changes. It is also recommended that you perform a full data backup. You can also set the log_mode to ‘overwrite’ using the following SQL-Statement:

ALTER SYSTEM ALTER CONFIGURATION ('global.ini', 'SYSTEM') SET ('persistence', 'log_mode') = 'normal' WITH RECONFIGURE;

STEP 3: S/4HANA BASE INSTALLATION USING SWPM

Please extract media files in folders as mentioned in New Installation of S/4HANA 1610 – Part 1 – media download using Maintenance Planner in folders:
5105...






Extract the SWPM SAR file as below
 sid-hdb:/ # cd /install
 sid-hdb:/install # /sapmedia/SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SWPM10SP18_4-20009701.SAR

You should get message at the end of this that
 SAPCAR: 1584 files(s) extracted


Start x-Windows software such as Exceed or X-ming and set the DISPLAY variable needed to confirm x-Windows is working.

I have edited file to change SID fromS4A to S4H due to SID restriction on my Maintenance Planner.

TIP: In case the following components are included in stack.xml file you should remove them as they are not needed for 1610 and will cause error in SUM - Not valid for 1610.
Prepackage@Takt: SAP_UI 751: SP 0001 and  Prepackage@Takt: SAP_GWFND 751: SP 0001

Execute combined installation of SWPM + SUM in single command line as below:

sid-hdb:/install#./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_1000109478_2038a.xml

I am showing only the important screens as most screens are self explanatory. Select Standard System from path below:

TIP: In the above screen if you see all choices to install other software then there is some issue with your stack.xml file and you should investigate.

Click on Next and Select Custom

Click on Next and enter name of SID. In this case S4H:
SAP System ID (SAPSID) S4H SAP Mount Directory /sapmnt

Click on Next and specify fqdn:
Set FQDN for SAP system     checked
DNS Domain Name for SAP System dummy.nodomain

Click on Next and specify Master password and confirm password Xxxxxxxn

Click on Next and enter password details for user s4hadm Xxxxxxxn
You will get message box regarding enabling R3load massloader, Click on OK

Click on Next and enter Database System Administrator password for this screen
Database ID (DBSID) HDB Database Host   vhcalhdbdb
Instance Number   02 Password of DBA  Xxxxxxxn

Click on Next and enter path for the downloaded media from Maintenance Planner
Package Path: /sapmedia/download
The screen changes to show status as available

Click on Next and remove checkmark on Install liveCache for SAP System.
Install liveache for SAP System Checked

TIP: If you want the livecache to be installed please make sure that HANA database LCAPPS plugin is installed before starting sapinst, otherwise you will get error below:
Click on Next and choose radio button Local Client Directory

Click on Next and enter path for RDBMS HANA Client. /sapmedia/51051522_CLIENT

Click on Next and enter path for Installation Export 1 S/4HANA 1610 /sapmedia/51050947_EXP1

Click on Next and enter HANA DB Instance Number 02 and Password Xxxxxxxn

Click on Next and enter DBACOCKPIT password and confirm Schema password Xxxxxxxn

Click on Next and enter Schema password and confirm Schema password Xxxxxxxn

Click on Next and select radip button Enable declustering / depooling of all ABAP tables.

Click on Next and leave Number of parallel  jobs at default to 48

Click on Next and accept or change the values:
PAS Instance Number 00, PAS Instance Host vhcals4hci
ASCS Instance Number 01, ASCS Instance Host Name vhcals4hcs

Click on Next and enter the password for ICM webadm

Click on Next and leave default radio button at No SLD destination

Click on Next and leave default radio button at Do not create Message Server Access Control List

Click on Next and enable checkmarks at Install integrated web dispatcher and Install Gateway integrated in ASCS instance.

Click on Next and leave default dispatcher parameters HTTPS Port 44300, Encryption Always.

Click on Next and , select Run TMS config and enter password for TMSADM in Client 000

Click on Next and for Import SPAM/SAINT Update select radio button Yes
Specify the location of SPAM/SAINT Update Archive as /sapmedia/download/KD75163.SAR
TIP: This will save time later having to do it at the time of SUM installation.

Click on Next and leave radio button at default No for Import ABAP Transports

Click on Next and enter the details of SUM as /sapmedia/download/SUM10SP18_4-20006543.SAR

Click on Next and enter password of System Administrator Xxxxxxxn

Click on Next and select additional languages as needed and define media path

Click on Next and select radio button – Individual Key (Recommended for Productive Systems)

On the Next screen Capture details of storage Key ID and Value

Click on Next screen as we do not have any additional transports with SWPM

Click on Next we will not install any additional languages besides English and German

Here is the summary of all options

Click on Next to confirm and begin the installation.
IF THERE IS NO ERROR YOU CAN TAKE A BREAK FOR 6 HOURS

TIP: The high hitter phases for time duration were Import ABAP and Create DDL Views (RUTDDLSCREATE). The system and used memory for database was high. So for MDC and MCOD scenario, free up memory by unloading tables in other tenants/databases. In MCOS scenario please shutdown other databases. The video shown at the beginning has clock showing the time in fast forward as the installation progresses.

Here are some milestones with starting point after all sapinst screen inputs are completed. For higher end systems the time required will be lower, the figures are only to be used as guidance.

STEP 4: ADDON INSTALLATION USING SUM

As we executed combined SWPM+SUM you should have filesystem /usr/sap/S4H/SUM. If not, don’t worry, please extract it as below 2 commands:

as s4hadm
cd /usr/sap/S4H
SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SUM10SP18_4-20006543.SAR
as root
ps –ef | grep –i sapup
/usr/sap/S4H/SUM/abap/SUMSTART confighostagent

 

TIP: Please check that your /windows/drivers/etc/host file contains entry with IP address mapped to hostname vhcals4hci.
c:\users\mahesh>type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
10.20.130.140  vhcals4hci vhcals4hci.dummy.nodomain vhcals4hcs vhcals4hcs.dummy.nodomain vhcalhdbdb vhcalhdbdb.dummy.nodomain
