Before you run the installation script, prepare the following two configuration files:
The installation uses the global.ini file to describe the SAP HANA storage partitions and the storage connector. The SAP HANA certified Dell EMC storage platforms use fcClient, which is part of the SAP software distribution.
Follow these steps:
Figure 4. Global.ini file storage content
Do not alter the name of the global.ini file.
Larger SAP HANA scale-out installations require additional partition entries.
SAP HANA SPS 07 introduced the SAP HANA Database Lifecycle Manager to provide the efficiency of installing all components at one time, while automating the installation and providing further flexibility to customers. Our example uses hdblcm to install our SAP HANA 3+1 scale-out cluster.
Follow these steps:
cd /<installation media>/DATA_UNITS/HDB_LCM_LINUX_X86_64
./hdblcm --action=install --dump_configfile_template=PMX_install.cfg
Directory root to search for components
component_root=/SAPShare/software/SAP_HANA_SPS11_IM/51050506/

components=server,client
Installation Path ( Default: /hana/shared )
sapmnt=/hana/shared
Local Host Name ( Default: server06 )
hostname=C460-2WW

storage_cfg=/hana/shared/PMX_cfg
Note: The storage_cfg parameter points to the directory where you have placed the customized global.ini file.
SAP HANA System ID
sid=PMX
Instance Number
number=00
# System Administrator User ID
userid=1001
ID of User Group (sapsys)
groupid=79
Action to be performed ( Default: exit; Valid values: install | update | extract_components )
action=install
Additional Hosts
addhosts=C460-2V4:storage_partition=2:role=worker,C460-22L:storage_partition=3:role=worker,C460-39A:role=standby
Note: The Additional Hosts parameter describes the additional hosts and their roles in the scale-out installation.
You can also use encrypted passwords. For more information, see the SAP HANA Studio Installation and Update Guide.
The hdblcm installation procedure prompts you for any missing passwords or parameters.
After you have created and customized the global.ini file and the installation parameters file, start the installation by running the following command:
./hdblcm --action=install –-configfile=PMX_Install.cfg
