Chapter 5. RHEL System Roles for SAP

Procedure

1. Create a file named sap-hana.yml with the following content:

   ---
   - hosts: localhost
     vars:
       ansible_connection: local
       sap_preconfigure_fail_if_reboot_required: no
       sap_hana_preconfigure_fail_if_reboot_required: no
       sap_hana_preconfigure_update: yes
     roles:
       - role: sap-preconfigure
       - role: sap-hana-preconfigure

   Important

   The indentation and the use of spaces instead of tabs is essential for YAML files.

2. Run the sap-hana.yml ansible playbook:

   # ansible-playbook sap-hana.yml

   This will configure the local managed node according to the applicable SAP notes for SAP HANA.

3. Reboot the server.

Procedure

1. Create or modify the file /etc/ansible/hosts with new host names to be configured:

   host01
   host02

   Replace host01 and host02 with the names of your managed nodes. Each managed node name must be on a separate line.

2. Create a file named sap-hana.yml with the following content:

   - hosts: all
     vars:
       sap_preconfigure_fail_if_reboot_required: no
       sap_hana_preconfigure_fail_if_reboot_required: no
       sap_hana_preconfigure_update: yes
     roles:
       - role: sap-preconfigure
       - role: sap-hana-preconfigure

   Important

   The indentation and the use of spaces instead of tabs is essential for YAML files.

3. Run the sap-hana.yml ansible playbook:

   # ansible-playbook -l host01,host02 sap-hana.yml

   Replace host01 and host02 with the names of your managed nodes.

   This will configure the remote host01 and host02 according to the applicable SAP notes for SAP HANA.

4. Reboot the servers host01 and host02.
