Robust server on which SAP HANA 2.0 is mounted. Seamless integration of the Eclipse to work with.

    nofail = no problem after reboot

Here is how you fix the reboot issue

  • December 20, 2016
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

After first launch,

1. create backup of /etc/fstab
2. In your /etc/fstab file, add 'nofail' to /dev/xvds, /dev/xvde, /dev/xvdz

e.g.

/dev/xvds /usr/sap xfs nobarrier,noatime,nodiratime,nofail,logbsize=256k,delaylog,x-systemd.device-timeout=360 0 0
/dev/xvde /hana/shared xfs nobarrier,noatime,nodiratime,nofail,logbsize=256k,delaylog,x-systemd.device-timeout=360 0 0

/dev/xvdz /media xfs nobarrier,noatime,nodiratime,nofail,logbsize=256k,delaylog,x-systemd.device-timeout=360 0 0


3. after saving your /etc/fstab, if you want to check for correctness, you can take command 'mount -a' and it should not give any output if valid. You don't need to restart system to check.

SUSE Linux for SAP 12 SP1 and SP2

  • November 23, 2016
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

Since Begin of November, we are offering customers the usage of SUSE Linux for SAP as Base Image for High End SAP HANA Systems. We performed extensive validation of SUSE Linux for SAP compared to the other SUSE Linux editions on AWS. We did not run into any additional efforts. As part of the validation we are also performing automated reboots.

Tips for the other reviewers:
1. For automation experts: SUSE Linux 12 brings Systemd with concurrent boot processes. You might need to maintain your boot dependencies or add sync points when you perform automated actions at boot time.
2. The other area where we had challenges was with the X1.* and the M4.16xlarge instance types, because those come with ENA Networking (20 Gbps) but not with the required Network Drivers. The symptom is limited network performance.
This issue was resolved with SUSE Linux 12 SP 2 (General Edition and SAP Edition)

PS: Just for this review I re-tested the reboot scenario with SLES for SAP 12 SP 1
Happy to help if you have questions.

Working with HANA express

  • November 21, 2016
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I noted the negative reviews but looks like the update recently made to the image solved the kernel panic issue. Found the image on Marketplace here was easy way to test some of the OS functionality and using with HANA express didn't run into issue on install.

Working great

I've used this image and did not find the problem that was reported. I can patch/reboot and use yast and everything else that I'm very familiar with.

Love the HANA Firewall !

Just tried this, and it works fine. Looks like the image has been updated. Launched the instance, logged into the server, then rebooted and launched again successfully. Instance is up and running.
