Agenda

Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) - formerly SAPinst

SWPM

Where do I obtain the Software Provisioning Manager?

Oracle RAC installation extensions

Oracle rename – now with offline / online method

Shared Oracle Homes

SWPM perspective

Oracle 12c

– User and group concept at SAP

– Oracle Home, Oracle Base

SAP & Oracle Where do I obtain the Software Provisioning Manager?


Where do I obtain the SWPM?

Software Provisioning Manager: Installation / System Copy Tools based on SAP NetWeaver

• Product-independent, therefore no longer on the installation master DVD but on SAP Service Marketplace.

(maybe more DVDs are to be used, e.g. Kernel DVD (SAP Note 1680045) )

• http://service.sap.com/sltoolset -> Software Logistics Toolset 1.0 Software Provisioning Manager

• Every 3 months, there are new versions, patches if required always use the latest tools

• Current Version: SL Toolset 1.0 SPS09

SAP & Oracle SWPM: Oracle rename – now with offline / online method


Oracle Rename – Now with Offline / Online Method

Motivation for Online Copy method

Offline mode -> instance recovery is not always adequate, leading to mistakes with the rename DB

For example: split-mirror Technology, snapshot technology

Snapshots that last too long lead to inconsistencies of the Oracle Control Files

Online Method -> copy landscapes with SAP NetWeaver

Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM)

LVM see SAP Note 1678609

Online recovery

Point-in-time recovery


Oracle Rename – Now with Offline/Online Method

Offline Copy Method

No further activities necessary in the SWPM

SWPM creates an automatic instance recovery, if necessary

select count(*) from V$RECOVER_FILE;

Online Copy Method

Activities on the source host (Integrated in LVM)

/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostctrl –function PrepareDatabaseCopy –dbname US1 –dbtype ora –dbconfdir

<sharedDisk> -copymethod Online –timeout -1

Split-mirror or Snapshot or every other Backup

/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostctrl –function FinalizeDatabaseCopy –dbname US1 –dbtype ora –dbconfdir

<sharedDisk> -copymethod Online –timeout -1

* Additional Windows parameter: %ProgramFiles%\SAP\hostctrl\exe\saphostctrl.exe … -user sapadm <password>



PrepareDatabaseCopy

Place the database in the Begin Backup mode

Create dboractrl_SID.cfg in the shared directory

FinalizeDatabaseCopy

Place the database in the End Backup mode

Store dboractrl_SID.cfg in the shared directory

Save all redolog archive in the shared directory

Save a backup control file in the shared directory


Oracle Rename - Now with Offline / Online Method

Example:

/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostctrl -function PrepareDatabaseCopy -dbname US3 -dbtype ora

-dbconfdir /sharedOnlineFS -copymethod Online -timeout -1

/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostctrl -function FinalizeDatabaseCopy -dbname US3 -dbtype ora

-dbconfdir /sharedOnlineFS -copymethod Online -timeout -1

File /tmp/dboractrl_US3.cfg

Database/CopyMethod = Online

ArchivedLogChangeNumber = 3218437

ArchivedLogBackupDir = $(Database/ConfigurationDirectory)/dboractrl_logarchive

ArchivedLog_0 = /oracle/US3/oraarch/US3arch1_2_830713863.dbf

ArchivedLogBackup_0 = $(Database/ConfigurationDirectory)/dboractrl_logarchive/US3arch1_2_830713863.dbf

ArchivedLog_1 = /oracle/US3/oraarch/US3arch1_3_830713863.dbf

ArchivedLogBackup_1 = $(Database/ConfigurationDirectory)/dboractrl_logarchive/US3arch1_3_830713863.dbf

ControlFileBackup = $(Database/ConfigurationDirectory)/dboractrl_cntrl-US3.dbf

ControlFile_0 = /oracle/US3/origlogA/cntrl/cntrlUS3.dbf





Offline Method:

Default (if the field stays empty)

Online Method:

Indicate the path to

dboractrl_<DBSID>.cfg


Oracle Rename – Now with Offline/Online method

Offline Method: Technical Implementation in the SWPM REM @(#) $Id: //inst/inst_scripts/lmti_005_COR/components/nw/ora/s_ora_backup_restore.xml#9 $

WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE

Online Method: Technical Conversion in the SWPM REM @(#) $Id: //inst/inst_scripts/645_SP_COR/components/nw/ora/s_ora_backup_restore.xml#42 $

WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE

SAP & Oracle SWPM: Oracle RAC installation extensions


Oracle RAC Installation Extensions



Database Name = US1

Instance Name = D03

Service Name = US1_D03

Shell Script = US1_D03.sh

Preferred RAC Instance = US100[1-3]

START_D03_lw103448 oder US2_D03_lw103448

SETENV_06 = dbs_ora_tnsname=US1_D03

tnsnames.ora

US1_D03.WORLD = (Description = ( Address_list =

(Address = ... (Host = lu-scan) (Port=1521))))

US1_D03.sh

srvctl add service –d US1 –s US1_D03 –r US1002

-a US1001, US1003 –P …



US1_D03.sh execute on the database host

(maybe already during the installation of the dialog instance)

srvctl status database –d US1 –v

Instance US1001 is running on node lu0261

with online Services

US1_D03 US1_DVEBMGS01.

Instance status: Open.

Instance US1002 is running on node lu0262.

Instance status: Open.

sqlplus -> show parameter service_names

US1_DVEBMGS01, US1_D03, US1, US1001


Oracle RAC Installation extensions

Perform on each RAC node

Kernel-dependent

Install users & groups

plus environment,

kernel,

DBA tools

RAC / ASM / Exadata Database Instance Preparation


Oracle RAC Installation extensions

Summary: Sequence for RAC Installation with SWPM

High-availability system

Installation ASCS for ABAP

Installation SCS for Java

Installation enqueue replication server instance

Database Instance

Installation of the first cluster node

Installation RAC / ASM / Exadata preparation on each further cluster node

Primary application server instance

Execution of the generated shell scripts <Database Name>_<Instance Name>.sh on the first cluster node

Additional application server instance

Execution of the generated shell Scripts <Database Name>_<Instance Name>.sh on the first cluster node



SAP & Oracle SWPM: Shared Oracle Homes


Shared Oracle Homes

Motivation

Offer further installation option

More flexible database environment

For

Quicker database upgrade

Quicker and only one-time patching with opatch or mopatch

Less disk-space

Against

Database version for all affected systems

All systems have the same prerequisites regarding DB version and patches

More cupport cost through a further option


Shared Oracle Homes


Shared Oracle Homes

SAP Notes 1727160 and 1778431

Prerequisite: Software Owner oracle:oinstall,

no more orasid users are installed

Further groups as with the Exadata, ODA, RAC or ASM installations

asmdba, asmadmin, asmoper, oinstall

Support from SAP RUNINSTALLER: from Release 11.2.0.4

(for set up of /oracle/<DBSID> directory and link to112 / 112_64)

Example:

<IHRDBMS> =/oracle/RDBMS/11203

<OHRDBMS1> =/oracle/C11/112 --> /oracle/RDBMS/11203

<OHRDBMS2> =/oracle/C12/112 --> /oracle/RDBMS/11203

SAP & Oracle View of Oracle 12c

New user concept

Automatic data optimization

Multitenant (pluggable databases)


Perspective Oracle 12c

Changes for single instance installation

Without suffix _64 oder _32 for ORACLE_HOME

Installation under oracle:oinstall as new default

Installation also with orasid:dba for existing systems that are being upgraded

orasid:rmandba is always being set up for RAC, shared oracle Home, ASM also (open)

<IHRDBMS> /oracle/DBSID/<rel1> <rel1> = 12101, 12102, 12201, 12202, …

<OHRDBMS> /oracle/DBSID/<rel2> <rel2> = 121, 122, …

SAP RUNINSTALLER generates a link from <IHRDBMS> to <OHRDBMS>


Perspective Oracle 12c

Changes for engineered systems (Exadata, ODA)

Installation path <IHRDBMS>

/u01/app/oracle/12.1.0.*/dbhome_1

/u01/app/oracle/12.2.0.*/dbhome_1

Runtime path <OHRDBMS>

/oracle/DBSID/<rel> <rel> =112, 121, 122, …

ORACLE_BASE (SAP Note 1521371)

/oracle for single instance

/oracle/BASE for GI

/oracle/<DBSID> for RDBMS

/u01/app/oracle for GI and RDBMS at ODA/Exadata

New SAP Note 1897633 for 12c (UNIX and Windows)


Outlook Oracle 12c

Oracle 12c: what will we offer in SWPM?

ADO Automatic Data Optimization

Policy on tablespaces

Policy-managed RAC databases

Multitenant architecture (pluggable databases)
