SAP HANA data volume

For LUN assignment, use the LUN ID defined in Table 11 on page 19 to

configure host groups on Hitachi Unified Storage VM. To support high availability, each LUN has multiple paths from the host within Hitachi

Compute Blade 500 to multiple ports (1A and 2A) on Hitachi Unified

Storage VM.

Table 7 on page 13 lists which ports are used for different size

configurations.

There are four MP units (MPUs) used to distribute the workload for all

LUNs needed for the solution.

SAP HANA Configuration

This explains the SAP HANA configuration.

SAN Operating System Configuration

The SAP HANA Scale-Up configuration requires SAN boot. It uses one

100 GB LUN on Hitachi Unified Storage VM for the operating system volume for the SAP HANA appliance.

The Hitachi Fibre Channel mezzanine ports in Table 9 on page 15 have

the 100 GB operating system LUN configured as the primary boot device.

The operating system LUN holds partitions for SUSE Linux for SAP

Applications version 11 SP3 or Red Hat Linux for SAP HANA 6.6,

/usr/sap/, and the Linux swap space.

Activate Device-Mapper Multipath

This reference architecture uses Device-mapper Multipath, a component of the native Linux operating system.

Using Device-mapper Multipath allows the configuration of multiple I/O paths between the server blades and Hitachi Unified Storage VM.

Multipathing aggregates all physical I/O paths into a single logical path.

The LUNs are always available unless all four paths fail.

21

21

Device-mapper Multipath is used for the following I/O paths:

SAP HANA server operating system volume

SAP HANA data volume

SAP HANA log volume

SAP HANA shared volume

SAP HANA Data Volume Configuration

The Logical Volume Manager configures the SAP HANA persistent

storage volumes. Refer to Table 12 on page 19 for the size of SAP HANA

data volume LUNs.

Logical Volume Manager creates a single striped volume on which the

XFS file system is created to store the SAP HANA data volume. The striped volume acts as the persistent layer for the SAP HANA server.

SAP HANA Log Volumes Configuration

This reference architecture uses Logical Volume Manager to configure the SAP HANA log volumes.

With the four 150 GB SAP HANA log volume LUNs, Logical Volume

Manager creates a single striped volume across 4 LUNs on which the

XFS file system is created to store the SAP HANA log volume.

Table 13 contains options used by striped volume creation, XFS file

system creation, and mount for log volume to optimize performance.
