Three Tier SAP JAVA on HANA DB Deployment using Automation

Description

This automation solution is designed for the deployment of Three Tier SAP JAVA on HANA DB using IBM Cloud Schematics or CLI. The SAP solution will be deployed on top of one of the following Operating Systems: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 for SAP, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 for SAP, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP 4 for SAP, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP 3 for SAP, in an existing IBM Cloud Gen2 VPC, using an existing bastion host with secure remote SSH access.

Contents:

1.1 Installation media

SAP HANA installation media used for this deployment is the default one for SAP HANA, platform edition 2.0 SPS05 available at SAP Support Portal under INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE area and it has to be provided manually in the input parameter file.

SAP JAVA installation media used for this deployment is the default one for SAP Netweaver 7.5 available at SAP Support Portal under INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE area and it has to be provided manually in the input parameter file.

1.2 Prerequisites

  • A Deployment Server (BASTION Server) in the same VPC should exist. For more information, see https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/sap-bastion-setup.
  • On the Deployment Server, download the SAP kits from the SAP Portal. Make note of the download locations. Ansible decompresses all of the archive kits.
  • Create or retrieve an IBM Cloud API key. The API key is used to authenticate with the IBM Cloud platform and to determine your permissions for IBM Cloud services.
  • Create or retrieve your SSH key ID. You need the 40-digit UUID for the SSH key, not the SSH key name.

1.3 VSI Configuration

The VSIs are deployed with one of the following Operating Systems for DB server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 for SAP HANA (amd64), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 for SAP HANA (amd64), Suse Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP 4 for SAP HANA (amd64) or Suse Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP 3 for SAP HANA (amd64) and with one of the following Operating Systems for APP server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 for SAP Applications (amd64), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 for SAP Applications (amd64), Suse Enterprise Linux 15 SP4 for SAP Applications (amd64) or Suse Enterprise Linux 15 SP3 for SAP Applications (amd64). The SSH keys are configured to allow root user access. The following storage volumes are creating during the provisioning:

HANA DB VSI Disks:

  • the disk sizes depend on the selected profile, according to Intel Virtual Server certified profiles on VPC infrastructure for SAP HANA - Updated on 2023-03-08

    Note: LVM will be used for /hana/data, hana/log, /hana/shared and /usr/sap, for all storage profiles, excepting vx2d-44x616 and vx2d-88x1232 profiles, where /hana/data and /hana/shared won't be manged by LVM, according to Intel Virtual Server certified profiles on VPC infrastructure for SAP HANA - Updated on 2023-03-08 and to Storage design considerations - Updated on 2022-05-19

    For example, in case of deploying a HANA VM, using the default value for VSI profile mx2-16x128, the automation will execute the following storage setup:

    • 3 volumes x 500 GB each for <sid>_hana_vg volume group
      • the volume group will contain the following logical volumes (created with three stripes):
        • <sid>_hana_data_lv - size 988 GB
        • <sid>_hana_log_lv - size 256 GB
        • <sid>_hana_shared - size 256 GB
    • 1 volume x 50 GB for /usr/sap (volume group: <sid>_usr_sap_vg, logical volume: <sid>_usr_sap_lv)
    • 1 volume x 10 GB for a 2 GB SWAP logical volume (volume group: <sid>_swap_vg, logical volume: <sid>_swap_lv)

SAP JAVA APP VSI Disks:

  • 1 x 40 GB disk with 10 IOPS / GB - SWAP
  • 1 x 128 GB disk with 10 IOPS / GB - DATA

1.4 VPC Configuration

The Security Rules inherited from BASTION deployment are the following:

  • Allow all traffic in the Security group for private networks.
  • Allow outbound traffic (ALL for port 53, TCP for ports 80, 443, 8443)
  • Allow inbound SSH traffic (TCP for port 22) from IBM Schematics Servers.

1.5 Files description and structure:

  • modules - directory containing the terraform modules.
  • ansible - directory containing the SAP ansible playbooks.
  • main.tf - contains the configuration of the VSI for the deployment of the current SAP solution.
  • output.tf - contains the code for the information to be displayed after the VSI is created (VPC, Hostname, Private IP).
  • integration*.tf & generate*.tf files - contain the integration code that makes the SAP variabiles from Terraform available to Ansible.
  • provider.tf - contains the IBM Cloud Provider data in order to run terraform init command.
  • variables.tf - contains variables for the VPC and VSI.
  • versions.tf - contains the minimum required versions for terraform and IBM Cloud provider.
  • sch.auto.tfvars - contains programatic variables.

In order to perform the deployment you can use either the CLI component or the GUI component (Schematics) of the automation solution.

2.1 Executing the deployment of Three Tier SAP Java HANA Stack in GUI (Schematics)

The solution is based on Terraform remote-exec and Ansible playbooks executed by Schematics and it is implementing a 'reasonable' set of best practices for SAP VSI host configuration.

It contains:

  • Terraform scripts for the deployment of two VSIs, in an EXISTING VPC, with Subnet and Security Group. The VSIs are intended to be used: one for the data base instance and the other for the application instance.
  • The automation has support for the following versions: Terraform >= 1.5.7 and IBM Cloud provider for Terraform >= 1.57.0. Note: The deployment was tested with Terraform 1.5.7
  • Bash scripts used for the checking of the prerequisites required by SAP VSIs deployment and for the integration into a single step in IBM Schematics GUI of the VSI provisioning and the Three Tier SAP Java HANA Stack installation.
  • Ansible scripts to configure Three Tier SAP JAVA primary application server and a HANA 2.0 node. Please note that Ansible is started by Terraform and must be available on the same host.

IBM Cloud API Key

For the script configuration add your IBM Cloud API Key in terraform planning phase command 'terraform plan --out plan1'. You can create an API Key here.

Steps to follow:

  1. Make sure that you have the required IBM Cloud IAM permissions to create and work with VPC infrastructure and you are assigned the correct permissions to create the workspace in Schematics and deploy resources.
  2. Generate an SSH key. The SSH key is required to access the provisioned VPC virtual server instances via the bastion host. After you have created your SSH key, make sure to upload this SSH key to your IBM Cloud account in the VPC region and resource group where you want to deploy the SAP solution
  3. Create the Schematics workspace:
    1. From the IBM Cloud menu select Schematics.
      • Push the Create workspace button.
      • Provide the URL of the Github repository of this solution
      • Select the latest Terraform version.
      • Click on Next button
      • Provide a name, the resources group and location for your workspace
      • Push Next button
      • Review the provided information and then push Create button to create your workspace
    2. On the workspace Settings page,
      • In the Input variables section, review the default values for the input variables and provide alternatives if desired.
      • Click Save changes.
  4. From the workspace Settings page, click Generate plan 
  5. From the workspace Jobs page, the logs of your Terraform execution plan can be reviewed.
  6. Apply your Terraform template by clicking Apply plan.
  7. Review the log file to ensure that no errors occurred during the provisioning, modification, or deletion process.

The output of the Schematics Apply Plan will list the private IP addresses of the VSI hosts, the hostnames, and the storage layount for HANA VSI.

2.2 Executing the deployment of Three Tier SAP Java HANA Stack in CLI

The solution is based on Terraform scripts and Ansible playbooks executed in CLI and it is implementing a 'reasonable' set of best practices for SAP VSI host configuration.

It contains:

  • Terraform scripts for the deployment of two VSIs, in an EXISTING VPC, with Subnet and Security Group. The VSIs are intended to be used: one for the database instance and the other for the application instance.
  • The automation has support for the following versions: Terraform >= 1.5.7 and IBM Cloud provider for Terraform >= 1.57.0. Note: The deployment was tested with Terraform 1.5.7
  • Ansible scripts to configure Three Tier SAP JAVA primary application server and a HANA 2.0 node. Please note that Ansible is started by Terraform and must be available on the same host.

IBM Cloud API Key

For the script configuration add your IBM Cloud API Key in terraform planning phase command 'terraform plan --out plan1'. You can create an API Key here.
