About this Installation Guide

SAP System InstallationSAP system installations should only be performed by SAP Technical Consultants certified for your operating system, your database, and the SAP system that you are installing

SAP Installation ToolYou must only use the SAP installation tools according to the instructions and for the purposes described in the SAP installation document. Improper use of the SAP installation tools can damage files and systems already installed.

Downward Compatibility of DatabasesFor downward-compatible releases of DB/OS platforms for SAP products, SAP plans to regularly release the newest database (DB) and operating-system (OS) versions of SAP products. These releases are downward-compatible with earlier SAP system releases.Note that for already shipped SAP components, we only support the installation for database versions proposed by the installation tool. Therefore, you must install an SAP component or perform a system copy using a downward-compatible database. That is, you either install the component with the old proposed database version or you upgrade the old database version to the downward-compatible new version.

2.5 Host Agent as a Separate InstallationUsing the host agent you can centrally monitor any host with the Alert Monitor or the SAP NetWeaver Administrator or the Adaptive Computing Controller (ACC). In addition, the host agent is used by the ACC for starting, stopping, and relocating SAP instances and databases.The host agent is automatically installed during the installation of all new SAP system instances based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 or higher. You only need to install a host agent separately in the following cases: You want to manage a host that does not have an SAP instance or component. You have upgraded your SAP system to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 or

higher.The section Installing the Host Agent Separately [page 105] describes how to perform the installation.

3.2.4 Requirements for a High-Availability SystemGeneral Requirements Check that your cluster hardware is certified for Windows Server 2008 (R2) and has the Windows

Server 2008 (R2) logo. You must validate your failover cluster configuration by running the Validate a Configuration

Wizard, which is included in the Failover Cluster Management snap-in. The Failover Cluster Validation Report must not show any warnings and errors.

The MSCS nodes of the cluster must be connected by a private and public network: The public network enables communication from the MSCS nodes of the cluster to other

resources in the local area network (LAN). The private network enables internal communication between the MSCS nodes. In particular,

it enables the Cluster Service running on all MSCS nodes to regularly exchange messages on the state of the MSCS nodes so that the failure of resources is quickly detected.

Each of the MSCS nodes in the cluster must have its own local disks and have access to shared disks that can be reached by the MSCS nodes via a shared bus.All software except the Windows operating system, the Oracle home directory, and the MSCS software is stored on the shared disks.One of the shared disks must be used exclusively by the quorum (if a single quorum device cluster is used) that stores the cluster registry and records information about the state of the cluster.You require at least four shared disks.For more information about the distribution of components to local and shared disk, see Distribution of SAP System Components to Disks for MSCS [page 134].

All disk controllers must be able to support hardware-based RAID.CAUTIONYou cannot use a host with a domain controller as an MSCS cluster node.

3 Planning3.3 Planning User and Access Management

32/172 PUBLIC 2011-11-08

Before you add a newly installed SAP system to your system landscape, you must decide which kind of user management you want to use: Use AS ABAP. Use an LDAP directory as the data source for user data.ProcedureUsing AS ABAPYou install your SAP system as described in this installation guide. During the installation, the SAP system is automatically configured to use AS ABAP as data source for the User Management Engine (UME). After the installation has finished, you can still change the user management configuration. For more information, see Configuring User Management [page 79].

Using an LDAP directory as Source for User Data1. You install your SAP system as described in this installation guide.2. Configure the user management of the newly installed SAP system to use and LDAP directory.

For more information, see Configuring User Management [page 79].

3.4 Basic SAP System Installation ParametersSAPinst prompts for input parameters during the Define Parameters phase of the installation.You can install your SAP system either in Typical or Custom mode: Typical

If you choose Typical, you perform the installation with default settings. This means that you only have to respond to a small selection of prompts including at least the following, which are described in the corresponding tables below: SAP System ID and Database Connectivity Parameters SAP system profile directory only for systems with instances on separate hosts Master password System Landscape Directory (SLD) destinationIf you want to change any of the default settings, you can do so on the Parameter Summary screen.

Custom

3 Planning3.4 Basic SAP System Installation Parameters

2011-11-08 PUBLIC 33/172

If you choose Custom, you are prompted for all parameters. At the end, you can still change any of these parameters on the Parameter Summary screen.

NOTEYou cannot change from Custom to Typical mode or from Typical to Custom mode on the Parameter Summary screen.

The following tables list the basic system parameters that you need to specify before installing your SAP system: SAP System Parameters SAP System Database Parameters Diagnostics Agent ParametersFor all other installation parameters, use the F1 help in the SAPinst screens.

SAP System ParametersParameters DescriptionSAP System ID

The SAP System ID identifies the whole SAP system.

CAUTIONChoose your SAP system ID carefully. You cannot change the SAP system ID after the installation.

Make sure that your SAP system ID: Is unique throughout your organization. Do not use an existing when

installing a new SAP system.EXAMPLEIf you have already installed an ABAP system and you want to install a new Java system on the same host, make sure that you enter a that is different from the of the existing ABAP system.

Consists of exactly three alphanumeric characters Contains only uppercase letters Has a letter for the first character Does not include any of the following, which are reserved IDs:

ADD ALL AMD AND ANY ARE ASC AUX AVG BIT CDC COM CON DBA END EPS FOR GET GID IBM INT KEY LOG LPT MAP MAX MIN MON NIX NOT NUL OFF OLD OMS OUT PAD PRN RAW REF ROW SAP SET SGA SHG SID SQL SUM SYS TMP TOP UID USE USR VAR

If you want to install a dialog instance, make sure that no gateway instance with the same SAP system ID (SAPSID) exists in your SAP system landscape.

SAP System Instance Numbers

Technical identifier for internal processes. It consists of a two-digit number from 00 to 97.The instance number must be unique on a host. That is, if more than one SAP instance is running on the same host, these instances must be assigned different numbers.If you do not enter a specific value, the instance number is set automatically to the next free and valid instance number that has not yet been assigned to the SAP system to be installed or to SAP systems that already exist on the installation host.To find out the instance numbers of SAP systems that already exist on the installation host, look for subdirectories ending with of local \usr\sap\ directories.The value is the number assigned to the instance.


34/172 PUBLIC 2011-11-08

Parameters DescriptionFor more information, see SAP Directories [page 91].

CAUTIONDo not use 43, and 89 for the instance number because: 43 is part of the port number for MSCS 89 is part of the port number for Windows Terminal Server

Master Password Common password for all users created during the installation: Operating system users (for example adm, SAPService)

CAUTIONIf you did not create the operating system users manually before the installation, SAPinst creates them with the common master password. In this case, make sure that the master password meets the requirements of your operating system.

ABAP users SAP* and DDIC Java users

(for example J2EE_ADMIN) Secure Store key phrase

For more information, see table line Key Phrase for Secure Store Settings.

NOTEIf a user already exists, you are prompted to confirm the password for this user.

Password policyThe master password: Must be 8 to 14 characters long Must contain at least one letter in uppercase (A-Z) Must contain at least one letter in lowercase (a-z) Must contain at least one digit (0-9) Must not contain \ (backslash) and " (double quote)Depending on the installation option, additional restrictions might apply (for example, the master password must not contain the name of a Java user created during the installation).

Message Server Port

CAUTIONThe message server port number must be unique for the SAP system on all hosts. If there are several message port numbers on one host, all must be unique.

Port number of the SAP Message Server: If you do not specify a value, the default port number is used.ABAP Message Server PortThere is an external message server port and an internal message server port.The ABAP message server uses both the internal and the external message server ports. The default profile contains the configuration for both message server ports.The external message server port uses the parameter rdisp/msserv with default value 36, where is the instance number of the ABAP message server instance.The internal message server port uses the parameter rdisp/msserv_internal with default value 39, where is the instance number of the ABAP message server instance.Java Message Server PortThe Java message server only uses the internal message server port. The SCS instance profile contains the configuration for the Java message server.The parameter rdisp/msserv is set to 0, so that the external port is not open.


2011-11-08 PUBLIC 35/172

Parameters DescriptionThe internal message server port uses the parameter rdisp/msserv_internal with default value 39, where is the instance number of the SCS message server instance.For more information about the parameters used for message server ports, see SAP Note 821875.

Key Phrase for Secure Store Settings

This is a random word or phrase that is used to encrypt the secure store.The Java EE engine uses this phrase to generate the key that is used to encrypt the data.The uniqueness of the phrase you use contributes to the uniqueness of the resulting key.

RECOMMENDATIONUse a long key phrase that cannot be guessed easily. Use both uppercase and lowercase letters in the phrase and include special characters.

NOTEIf you choose Typical mode, SAPinst sets the master password for the key phrase. In this case, make sure that you replace the master password with the required unique key phrase either in the Parameter Summary screen or after the installation has finished.

DNS Domain Name for SAP System

If you want to use HTTP-based URL frameworks such as Web Dynpro applications, you have to specify the DNS domain name for the SAP system.The DNS Domain Name is used to calculate the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), which is configured in profile parameter SAPLOCALHOSTFULL. FQDN is the fully qualified domain name for an IP address. It consists of the host name and the domain name:.The DNS Domain Name is needed to define the URLs for the ABAP and Java application servers. It is appended to the server name to calculate the FQDN.

The SAP Cryptographic Library is required to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption of HTTP connections. In most cases it is installed automatically from the kernel medium. In case it is not installed automatically and you are prompted for it during the installation, you can download it as described in SAP Note 455033.This software product is subject to export control regulations in Germany as the country of origin and import regulations of your own country. SAP may not yet have a corresponding export license for your user or company. Contact the contract department in your local SAP company. To download the SAP Cryptographic Software from the SAP Service Marketplace, you need a customer user ID. Before any transfer of these software products to persons, companies or other organizations outside your company, in particular in the case of any re-export of the software products, authorization is required from the German export control authorities. This might also be required from your responsible national export control authorities. This also applies to transfers to affiliated companies. Corresponding laws and regulations in the recipient country may also exist which restrict the import or the use of these software products.

Password of Operating System Users

The passwords of the operating system users must comply with the Windows password policy. SAPinst processes the passwords of operating system users as follows: If the operating system users do not exist, SAPinst creates the following users:

adm


36/172 PUBLIC 2011-11-08

Parameters DescriptionThis user is the SAP system administrator user and is a member of the local Administrators group.

SAPServiceThis user is the Windows account to run the SAP system and is not a member of the local Administrators group.

sapadmThe host agent user sapadm is used for central monitoring services. SAPinst creates this user by default as a local user without being a member of the local Administrators group.If required, you can change this user to become a domain user on the parameter summary screen. For more information, see Performing a Domain Installation Without Being a Domain Administrator [page 95]. For security reasons, however, SAP strongly recommends to create this user as a local user.

admThis user is dedicated to the diagnostics agent installation with sufficient authorization to manage the agent. It is created on the central instance host and on every dialog instance host.SAPinst creates this user by default as a local user. If required, you can change this user to become a domain user on the parameter summary screen. For security reasons, however, SAP strongly recommends to create this user as a local user.

SAPinst sets the master password for these users by default. You can overwrite and change the passwords either by using the parameter mode Custom or by changing them on the parameter summary screen.

If the operating system users already exist, SAPinst prompts you for the existing password, except if the password of these users is the same as the master password.

NOTEThis does not apply if the adm user already exists. SAPinst prompts you for the password even if the password of this user is the same as the master password.

CAUTIONMake sure that you have the required user authorization [page 50] for these accounts before you start the installation with SAPinst.

In certain situations, you might create a system copy with a new , but where the database schema has the old . This is not a technical problem, but might confuse the system administrator.

Oracle parameters ORACLE_HOME SAPDATA drives Drives for redolog, archives (oraarch), and saptracesFor more information about the distribution of files, see Distribution of SAP System Components to Disks [page 43]

Database Instance RAM The RAM that is required for the database instance installation. The default value used by SAPinst is 50 percent of the entire RAM.

Oracle Listener Name, Oracle Listener Port If you install the database instance on a host where no other Oracle database is installed, you normally do not have to change the default values for Listener Name and Listener Port.

If you install the database instance on a host where already another Oracle database is installed you have the following options: If you install it in the same Oracle home, you use the

default values for Listener Name and Listener Port. If you install it in a different Oracle home, you specify

an unused Listener Name and Listener Port for the new Oracle Listener.

All dialog instances of an SAP system must use the same Listener Port than the database instance.

Tablespaces, Datafiles An Oracle database consists of one or more logical storage units called tablespaces, which collectively store all of the database's data.Each tablespace in an Oracle database consists of one or more files called datafiles, which are physical structures that conform to the operating system in which Oracle is running.MaxDatafileSize is the initial size of the tablespace datafile and its mapping to the new tablespace layout while importing the external file DBSIZE.XML.


2011-11-08 PUBLIC 41/172

Parameters DescriptionSAPinst prompts you to enter MaxDatafileSize in MB: 0: Datafile size defined in DBSIZE.XML is not changed. 2000: Default datafile size. 10000: Maximum datafile size.

Diagnostics Agent ParametersThe diagnostics agent is installed automatically with the SAP system.Parameters DescriptionSystem ID of the Diagnostics Agent

SAPinst sets the system ID of the diagnostics agent, , to DAA by default.If DAA is already used, SAPinst assigns another default system ID. You can overwrite the default system ID as required.

CAUTIONChoose the carefully. Renaming is difficult and requires you to reinstall the diagnostics agent.

Make sure that the : Either does not yet exist on the local installation host or does already

exist but was only used for a diagnostics agent installation Consists of exactly three alphanumeric characters Contains only uppercase letters Has a letter for the first character Does not include any of the following, which are reserved IDs:

ADD ALL AMD AND ANY ARE ASC AUX AVG BIT CDC COM CON DBA END EPS FOR GET GID IBM INT KEY LOG LPT MAP MAX MIN MON NIX NOT NUL OFF OLD OMS OUT PAD PRN RAW REF ROW SAP SET SGA SHG SID SQL SUM SYS TMP TOP UID USE USR VAR

Instance Number of the Diagnostics Agent

Technical identifier for internal processes for the diagnostics agent, consisting of a two-digit number from 00 to 97. Default is 97.If 97 is already used for an instance number, the diagnostics agent instance number is set automatically to the next free and valid instance number.The instance number is used to specify the name of the diagnostics agent instance directory that SAPinst automatically creates during the installation.The directory of the diagnostics agent instance is called SMDA.For more information, see SAP Directories [page 91].The same restrictions apply as in Instance Number of the SAP System (see above).

3.5 Domain or Local InstallationBefore you install the SAP system, you have to decide whether you want to perform a domain or local installation, since this affects how the user account information is stored and accessed.

3 Planning3.5 Domain or Local Installation

42/172 PUBLIC 2011-11-08

For more information about the differences between a local and domain installation, go to StartHelp and Support and search for What is the difference between a domain and a workgroup?.

Domain InstallationIn a domain installation, the user account information is stored centrally in one database on the domain controller and is accessible to all hosts in the system.You have to perform a domain installation if one of the following applies: You install a system distributed over several hosts. Only valid for: HA (MSCS) |

You install a high-availability system with MSCS.End of: HA (MSCS) |

You want to use Single Sign-On. You use a common transport host for several SAP systems running on different computers.Local InstallationIn a local installation, all Windows account information is stored locally on one host and is not visible to any other hosts in the system.If the SAP system is to run on a single machine (central system), you can perform a local installation.

NOTEIf your SAP system was installed as a local installation and you want to later change to a domain installation, you must perform a homogeneous system copy. For more information, see the documentation System Copy for SAP Systems based on SAP NetWeaver at:http://service.sap.com/instguides

3.6 Distribution of SAP System Components to DisksWhen you install the SAP system, the main directories required for the system are automatically created. However, during the installation procedure, SAPinst prompts you to enter drive letters for the main components of the system. This gives you the opportunity to distribute components to disks in the system as you wish. How you do this significantly affects system throughput and data security, and must therefore be carefully planned. The best distribution depends on your specific environment and must take into consideration factors such as the size of the components involved, security requirements, and the expected workload.When you work out the assignment of components to disks, you first need to obtain an overview of the main components and their corresponding directories. Then, on the basis of sample configurations

3 Planning3.6 Distribution of SAP System Components to Disks

2011-11-08 PUBLIC 43/172

and the recommendations provided in this documentation, you can decide which assignment is best for your particular system.SAP systems are normally installed on RAID arrays that ensure data redundancy. This documentation therefore focuses on RAID subsystems and drives.

Minimal ConfigurationThe following figure illustrates an example for a disk configuration for a small test or demo system. Since security and performance play a less crucial role in this type of system, many different configurations are feasible.

CAUTIONUse the illustrated configuration exclusively for test or demo systems. It is unsuitable for production systems because it only minimally satisfies security and performance requirements.

Disk 3 \ORACLE\\oraarch

Comments The configuration ensures that no data can be lost, but the process for recovering a damaged

database is complicated and time-consuming. The redo logs and database files are located on the same disks. This means that a single disk failure

can result in the loss of both the redo logs and database data. The I/O-intensive redo logs are on the same disk volumes as the data files. This can impede

performance. An equally good alternative would be to simply place all components on a single RAID 5 array.

3.7 SAP Transport HostThe SAP transport host contains the transport directory used by the SAP transport system to store transport data and change SAP system information, such as software programs, data dictionary data, or customization data. If you have several SAP systems, they are usually organized in transport domains. In most cases, all SAP systems in a transport domain have a common transport directory.When you install an SAP system, you have to decide which transport host and directory you want to use for your SAP system: Use the transport directory that SAPinst creates during the installation of the SAP system by default

on the global host in :\usr\sap\trans. Use a transport directory located on a host other than the global host (default host):

You can use an existing transport directory and host in your SAP system landscape. You can set up a new transport directory on a different host.In either case, you must prepare this host for use by the new SAP system [page 52].

3.8 Multiple Oracle HomesThe Oracle database software is installed in a directory structure which is referenced as Oracle Home. Before you install your Oracle database software, you need to decide whether you want to set up a single or multiple Oracle Homes as this influences the installation procedure.If you install more than one database instance on the same host you have the following options: You use a single Oracle Home

You can use a single Oracle Home, if you use the same Oracle database version on one host for different database instances.

With a single Oracle Home, you have to install the database software only once. With a single Oracle Home, you cannot administer your databases independently.

You use multiple Oracle Homes If you use multiple Oracle Homes, you must set up one Oracle Listener for each Oracle Home.

Each listener must have a different TCP/IP port number. With multiple Oracle Homes, you can administer your databases independently. Multiple Oracle Homes are necessary, if you need to install different Oracle databases versions

on the same host. Only valid for: HA (MSCS) |

Multiple Oracle Homes are not supported in an MSCS configuration.End of: HA (MSCS) |
