Configuring the HA Function for SAP S/4HANA Nodes

Procedure

  1. Log in to the active SAP S/4HANA node, obtain the ha_auto_script.zip package, and decompress it to any directory.

    1. Select the region where SAP S/4HANA is to be installed and download the script.

      Select the region where SAP S/4HANA is to be installed and download the script. The following uses CN-Hong Kong as an example:

      wget https://obs-sap-ap-southeast-1.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip -P /sapcd

      The script download addresses for different regions are as follows:

      • CN-Hong Kong: https://obs-sap-ap-southeast-1.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip
      • AP-Bangkok: https://obs-sap-ap-southeast-2.obs.ap-southeast-2.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip
      • AF-Johannesburg: https://obs-sap-af-south-1.obs.af-south-1.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip
      • LA-Santiago: https://obs-sap-la-south-2.obs.la-south-2.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip
      • LA-Sao Paulo1: https://obs-sap-sa-brazil-11.obs.sa-brazil-1.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip
      • LA-Mexico City1: https://obs-sap-na-mexico-1.obs.na-mexico-1.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip
      • LA-Mexico City2: https://obs-sap-la-north-2.obs.la-north-2.myhuaweicloud.com/ha_auto_script/ha_auto_script.zip
    2. Run the following commands to decompress the obtained script package:

      cd /sapcd

      unzip ha_auto_script.zip

  2. Set parameters in the ascs_ha.cfg file based on the site requirements. Table 1 describes the parameters in the file.

    Table 1 Parameters in the ascs_ha.cfg file

    Type

    Name

    Description

    masterNode

    masterName

    ASCS instance node name

    masterHeartbeatIP1

    Heartbeat plane IP address 1 of the ASCS instance node

    masterHeartbeatIP2

    Service plane IP address of the ASCS instance node

    slaveNode

    slaveName

    ERS instance node name

    slaveHeartbeatIP1

    Heartbeat plane IP address 1 of the ERS instance node

    slaveHeartbeatIP2

    Service plane IP address of the ERS instance node

    ASCSInstance

    ASCSFloatIP

    Service IP address of the ASCS instance node

    ASCSInstanceDir

    Directory of the ASCS instance

    ASCSDevice

    Disk partition used by the ASCS instance directory

    ASCSProfile

    Profile file of the ASCS instance

    ERSInstance

    NOTE:

    You need to log in to the ERS instance node to obtain the information about the ERSInstanceDir, ERSDevice, and ERSProfile parameters.

    ERSFloatIP

    Service IP address of the ERS instance node

    ERSInstanceDir

    Directory of the ERS instance

    ERSDevice

    Disk partition used by the ERS instance directory

    ERSProfile

    Profile file of the ERS instance

    trunkInfo

    SBDDevice

    Independent disk used by the SBD. One or three disks are supported. Every two disks are separated by a comma (,), for example, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc.

  3. Run the following command to perform automatic HA deployment:

    sh ascs_auto_ha.sh

  4. Run the following command to check the resource status:

    crm status

    After the HA function is configured, HAE manages resources. Do not start or stop resources in other modes. If you need to manually perform test or modification operations, switch the cluster to the maintenance mode first.

    crm configure property maintenance-mode=true

    Exit the maintenance mode after the modification is complete.

    crm configure property maintenance-mode=false

    If you need to stop or restart the node, manually stop the cluster service.

    systemctl stop pacemaker

    After the ECS is started or restarted, run the following command to start the cluster service:

    systemctl start pacemaker

    To clear the HA configuration, run the following command on the active node for which HA is configured (Roll back to the initial status if the active and standby nodes are switched over.):

    sh ascs_auto_ha.sh unconf
