Study Notes
SAP HANA Virtualization and NUMA Testing
- SAP HANA requires a read-only guest SDK for virtualization through a hypervisor, mapping vCPUs to physical NUMA cores and virtual memory to physical NUMA nodes.
- NUMA Memory Latency Test measures memory latency between NUMA nodes.
- NUMA Memory Bandwidth Test assesses memory access bandwidth on NUMA nodes.
- File System Write Test evaluates data throughput and latency between SAP HANA and external storage systems, independent of SAP HANA software installation.
- The SAP HANA I/O engine relies on AIO interface; operations like file-enlarging writes may not be well-supported, blocking system activities during execution.
- File System Read Test measures read throughput and latency similarly to the write test, ensuring compatibility with SAP HANA’s I/O engine.
Query and Throughput Performance Testing
- NUMA Jobs Query Performance Test measures query performance by analyzing brutto/netto scan operations per second and overhead time.
- NUMA Jobs Throughput Performance Test evaluates throughput on NUMA nodes, applicable for both single-host (SoH/S4H) and multi-host configurations in SAP Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA.
Supported Hardware and System Configuration
- Hardware certification for SAP HANA can be checked through the SAP HANA hardware directory.
- SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tool assesses interoperability and measures performance criteria for production environments.
- Min. requirements for running HCMT include installing the latest version, ensuring 20 GB free storage, and opening communication ports 50000 and 50001.
Linux Operating System Requirements
- SAP HANA is compatible with SUSE and Red Hat Linux based on CPU architecture.
- Ensure compliance with SUSE and Red Hat-specific SAP Notes before installation.
Scale-Out Systems Measurement
- Start measurement on scale-out systems from the coordinator host and specify worker hosts for tests via HCMT.
- Use command
./hcmt -v -Sfor worker hosts and./hcmt -vfor coordinator host to initiate tests. - Define log locations and relevant directories in execution plans.
SAP HANA System Database and Tenant Databases
- The system database holds overall system and tenant database information, facilitating system administration tasks.
- Tenant databases operate independently within a system, sharing resources yet remaining self-contained with user setups, backups, and catalogs.
Application Lifecycle Management Tools
- Access SAP HANA application lifecycle management tools through GUI, command-line hdbalm, or SAP HANA cockpit.
- Advanced installations allow batch-oriented setups using configuration files and command-line options, aimed at streamlined multi-system deployments.
Command-Line Interface for HDBLCM
- HDBLCM can be run in environments without a graphical UI using command-line on Intel and IBM Power architecture.
- Connect via SSH and navigate to the relevant DATA_UNITS directory to start either the GUI or CLI version of the tool, depending on system capabilities.
Advanced Installation Methods
- Explore batch-oriented installation methods for efficiency when deploying multiple SAP HANA systems.
- Use a configuration file with command-line options to provide flexibility in installation methods.
