Registering and Configuring HA for SAP NetWeaver

To enable the HA for SAP NetWeaver data service to make SAP NetWeaver applications highly available, configure the data service as described in the procedures in this section. These procedures perform the following tasks.

• Register and configure the SAP central services resources. The SAP central services consist of the following components:

  • SAP sapstartsrv

  • SAP central services

  • SAP replicated enqueue server

  • SAP replicated enqueue preempter

  • SAP application server instance

• Register and configure resources for the SAP NetWeaver primary application instance.

• Register and configure the SAP NetWeaver additional application server instance.

The resource groups and the storage resource were created in How to Enable the SAP NetWeaver to Run in a Cluster.

Before You Begin

Before performing these procedures, ensure that the HA for SAP NetWeaver data service packages are installed.

The procedures in this section assume that the database resources have been previously created and that these resources are online.

Make your database highly available by following the instructions in the documentation for your database.

Perform these procedures by becoming superuser on a cluster node.

Setting HA for SAP NetWeaver Extension Properties

The extension properties for HA for SAP NetWeaver are described in Appendix A, HA for SAP NetWeaver Extension Properties.

You can update some extension properties dynamically. You can update other properties, however, only when you create or disable a resource. The Tunable entry indicates when you can update a property.

The instructions for registering and configuring resources explain how to set only extension properties that HA for SAP NetWeaver requires you to set.

To set an extension property of a resource, include the following option in the clresource command that creates or modifies the resource:

-p property=value 

-p property

Identifies the extension property that you are setting.

value

Specifies the value to which you are setting the extension property.

Registering and Configuring the HA for SAP NetWeaver by using Oracle Solaris Cluster Command Line Interface (CLI)

The procedures in this section describe the registration and configuration of the following components of the SAP NetWeaver by using Oracle Solaris Cluster CLI.

• Register and configure the SAP central services resources. The SAP central services consist of the following components:

  • SAP sapstartsrv

  • SAP central services

  • SAP replicated enqueue server

  • SAP replicated enqueue preempter

  • SAP application server instance

• Register and configure resources for the SAP NetWeaver primary application instance.

• Register and configure the SAP NetWeaver additional application server instance.
