Here is the video for installation of previous version S4HANA 1610 FPS0 for reference:

STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM

It is recommended to install SuSE Linux version 12 ,
TIP: Please refer SAP Note 2380257 – SAP HANA Platform 2.0 SPS 00 Release Note. You can check your operating system version as below:

sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
  SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64)
  VERSION = 12
  PATCHLEVEL = 1

STEP 2: USE EXISTING HANA DATABASE (OPTION1)

If you already have a database, please patch the database to HANA 2 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)

To install database you can use hdblcmgui. I used hdblcm as below.

First unpack the archive to folder 51052325_HANA2_20

====================================================LINUX SCREEN START
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #unrar x 51052325_part1.exe
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #mv 51052325 51052325_HANA2_20
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51052325_HANA2_20/SAP_HANA_DATABASEHDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64 # ./hdblcm

SAP HANA Database System installed
You can send feedback to SAP with this form: https://vhcalhdbdb:1129/lmsl/HDBLCM/HDB/feedback/feedback.html
Log file written to '/var/tmp/hdb_HDB_hdblcm_install_2017-09-10_15.15.44/hdblcm.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/HANA2_20_LCAPPS # SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_LCAPPS_2020_0-20010426.SAR
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/HANA2_20_LCAPPS/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:
51052190_EXP
51052189_LANG       (Optional)
51052271_SCM          (Optional)
51052325_HANA2_20
download
I have extracted all above under folder /sapmedia.

Extract the SWPM SAR file as below
 sid-hdb:/ # cd /install
 sid-hdb:/install # /sapmedia/SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SWPM10SP21_1-20009701.SAR

You should get message at the end of this that
 SAPCAR: 1660 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.

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/MP_Stack_1000297371_20170915_.xml

TIP: The high hitter phases for time duration were Import ABAP (3.5hrs) and Create DDL Views (RUTDDLSCREATE) (6hrs) . 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.

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/SUM20SP00_2-80002456.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

Enter s4hadm/(password you used before) in the screen below

      Hi Mahesh

      First of all, thanks for shared you knowledge... Well I am installing the S/4 1709 with hana 2.0 latest version, but in step create DBACOCKPIT I got an error. Below my landscape and error:

      Landscape:

      One S/4 application server

      One hana database server

      I can connect fine between s/4 and db but when the SWPM is trying run this command: SELECT ROLE_NAME FROM ROLES after some time I got this error: Error during execution of SQL command: SELECT ROLE_NAME FROM ROLES null

       

      During your installation you have some issue in create DBACOCKPIT?

       

      Thanks so much.

      Hi SAP Technica,

      I did not get error at step create DBACOCKPIT. It went right through. At the screen Database Schema accept DBACOCKPIT password and confirm Schema password Xxxxxxxn. I did not specify a different user.

      I got it... So I found my error.. I ran the jdbc trace I got this error:

      new RTEException: -708 Data receive failed [Connection timed out (Read failed) (local port 39912 to address 10.171.160.162 (server.domain), remote host unknown)].

      So, I don't know why this error, because I can ping both hosts... So, next monday I will check the firewall between them.

       

      Thanks.

      Hi SAP TECNICA,

      SWPM process should have validated the hosts in the be beginning, if the host file was changed during the SWPM, please start from beginning.

      Hi Mahesh,

      Thanks for the document.

      We have successfully migrated ecc6 to S4/HANA 1709.  It's running fine. But we are unable to update it from Solution manager "Update SAP portal" although we have installed the latest CR content 2017 but still facing "System Landscape Technical System - Edit Warning occurs when uploading data to Maintenance Planner.The system constellation is empty".The system constellation is empty" Looking for your feedback

      Best regards

      Aamir

      Hi Aamir,

       

      This usually happens due to java product instances without Java technical system assignment. I would suggest you assign product system in Solman, re-verify LMDB, SMSY, and SLD. s/4HANA system should be assigned to correct products. If all good, go for Landscape Verification (2-3 times). It should work. You can also follow below link:

      https://blogs.sap.com/2011/12/17/sapadmin-how-to-assign-product-system-in-solman-71-how-lmdb-sld-smsy-and-landscape-verification-work-in-solman71/

      Dear Colleagu,

       

      Congratulations for your document. I have a issue during the start of instance:

      Dear Mahesh

      Where did you find livecache archive? According to note 2074843 – Version Matrix for HANA integrated liveCaches, it seems there is no release for 2.00.022. I was searching for the file (IMDB_LCAPPS_2022_0-20010426.SAR) and couldn’t find it.

      Regards

      For Hana DB 2.00.020.00.1500920972 correct LCAPPS plugin version should be IMDB_LCAPPS_2020_0-20010426.SAR.

      The problem seems to be that the RedHat Linux platform is not recognized properly.
      Sometimes issue are fixed in latest SWPM patches

      Looks like directory structure is not accessible. Do not unzip in your PC and then upload, the file has to be unzipped at Linux OS platform.

      Hi Mahesh,

       

      thank you for all your Hana blogs, they are very interesting.

      There is a little mistake in a command line

      sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51052325_HANA2_20/SAP_HANA_DATABASEHDB_SERVER_LINUX_X86_64 # ./hdblcm

       

      I think you have make a melting between two commands/lines

      Hi Frederic,

              the line wraps due to automatic formatting of jam page tool. I hope it's not an issue.

      Hi Salin,

      BW component is already installed as part of S/4HANA  as SAP_BW 752 level 0 as shown in the list of Software Component version.

      It is recommended to use the embedded BW functionality.

      Hi Manish,

      use telnet to test connection of ip address + port combination is working. If it tests fine then check that processes for sum are up and listening on port 1129
