Appendix A. Component options

InstanceName

yes

The full SAP instance profile name (<SID>_<NAME><instance>_<virt_ hostname>), for example, S4H_ASCS20_s4ascs.

START_PROFILE

no

The name of the SAP instance profile. Specify this parameter, if you have changed the name of the SAP instance profile after the default SAP installation.

SAP standard paths are searched by default.

IS_ERS

no

false

Only used for ASCS/ERS SAP Netweaver installations without implementing a promotable resource to allow the ASCS to find the ERS running on another cluster node after a resource failure.

You must set this parameter to true for the ERS instance resource in an ENSA1 setup.

DIR_EXECUTABLE

no

The fully qualified path to binaries such as sapstartsrv and sapcontrol. Specify this parameter if you have changed the SAP kernel directory location after the default SAP installation.

SAP standard paths are searched by default.

DIR_PROFILE

no

The fully qualified path to the SAP START profile. Specify this parameter if you have changed the SAP profile directory location after the default SAP installation.

SAP standard paths are searched by default.

AUTOMATIC_RECOVER

no

false

The resource agent tries to recover a failed start attempt automatically one time. This is done by killing running instance processes, removing the kill.sap file, and executing cleanipc. Sometimes a crashed SAP instance leaves some processes or shared memory segments behind. Set this option to true to remove those leftovers during a start operation.

MONITOR_SERVICES

no

disp+work|msg_server|enserver|enrepserver|jcontrol|jstart|enq_server|enq_replicator

The list of services of an SAP instance that need to be monitored to determine the health of the instance. To monitor more, less or other services that sapstartsrv supports, change the list using this parameter. Names must match the strings used in the output of the command sapcontrol -nr <instance> -function GetProcessList. Use the pipe sign to specify multiple services. The value for this parameter must always be the complete list of the services to monitor.

SHUTDOWN_METHOD

no

normal

Usually a SAP instance is stopped by the command sapcontrol -nr <instance> -function Stop.

Set this to KILL to kill the SAP instance using operating system commands. This terminates SAP processes of the instance with kill -9, deletes shared memory using cleanipc and deletes the kill.sap file. That method is much faster than the graceful stop, but the instance does not have the chance to notify other SAP instances in the same system. Use with care!

START_WAITTIME

no

3600

The maximum time in seconds the cluster waits after a resource start, before the resource executes a monitor operation.

ERS_InstanceName

no

Only enable this in a promotable resource configuration.

The fully qualified SAP enqueue replication instance name. Usually this is the name of the SAP instance profile. You must use the following properties for the promotable configuration in the cluster:

ERS_START_PROFILE

no

Only use this in a promotable resource configuration.

Specify this parameter, if you have changed the name of the ERS instance profile after the default SAP installation.

SAP standard paths are searched by default.

MINIMAL_PROBE

no

false

Setting this to true forces the resource agent to do only a minimal check during the resource probe. This is needed for special file system setups.

Enabling this is only supported when specified in the configuration steps.
