THIS ROLE IS DEPRECATED AND NO LONGER DEVELOPED

The successor is now developed as part of the community.sap_install collection.

sap-hana-hsr

This role enables SAP HANA Sysetem Replication between 2 given RHEL 7.x or 8.x hosts.

Requirements

SAP HANA 1.0 SPS 12 and above (HANA2) must be installed and running on the given hosts.

Role Variables

Variables to be used with this role must be added with different scopes. Some of the variables can be applied to both hosts, and some of them must apply individually to each host. This is due the nature of SAP HANA System Replication, where hosts will have different roles (primary and secondary) in the replication architecture.

Common variables

variable	info	required?
sap_hana_hsr_hana_sid	SAP HANA System ID	yes
sap_hana_hsr_hana_instance_number	Instance Number	yes, it must be declared as a string e.g. "00"
sap_hana_hsr_hana_db_system_password	Database User (SYSTEM) Password	yes
sap_hana_hsr_hana_primary_hostname	System Hostname for the primary node	yes
sap_hana_hsr_rep_mode	Replication mode for the replication of the redo log (sync | syncmem | async)	no, defaulted to sync
sap_hana_hsr_oper_mode	Operation mode to run SAP HANA system replication (delta_datashipping | logreplay | logreplay_readaccess)	no, defaulted to logreplay

Specific variables per host

variable	info	required?
sap_hana_hsr_role	The host role in the replication architecture	yes, options are primary or secondary
sap_hana_hsr_alias	Alias used to identify the HANA Site Name in the replication layout	yes

Example Playbook

    - hosts: hana
      roles:
        - { role: redhat_sap.sap_hana_hsr }

Example Inventory

# cat <inventory_dir>/group_vars/hana.yml

sap_hana_hsr_hana_db_system_password: "MyS3cr3tP4ssw0rd"
sap_hana_hsr_hana_primary_hostname: hana-0c0c0

# cat <inventory_dir>/host_vars/hana-0c0c0.yml
sap_hana_hsr_role: "primary"
sap_hana_hsr_alias: "DC1"

# cat <inventory_dir>/host_vars/hana-0c0c1.yml
sap_hana_hsr_role: "secondary"
sap_hana_hsr_alias: "DC2"

HANA System Replication check

Once HANA System Replication has been configured using this role, you can check the actual status doing the following in the primary host:

# su - <sid>adm
# python /usr/sap/<SID>/HDB<INSTANCE_NUMBER>/exe/python_support/systemReplicationStatus.py

| Database | Host       | Port  | Service Name | Volume ID | Site ID | Site Name | Secondary  | Secondary | Secondary | Secondary | Secondary     | Replication | Replication | Replication    |
|          |            |       |              |           |         |           | Host       | Port      | Site ID   | Site Name | Active Status | Mode        | Status      | Status Details |
| -------- | ---------- | ----- | ------------ | --------- | ------- | --------- | ---------- | --------- | --------- | --------- | ------------- | ----------- | ----------- | -------------- |
| SYSTEMDB | hana-25e40 | 30001 | nameserver   |         1 |       1 | DC1       | hana-25e41 |     30001 |         2 | DC2       | YES           | SYNC        | ACTIVE      |                |
