Scenario: You’ve followed my previous post on
how to install a basic HANA DB and now you would like to install HANA LM into the same instance so that you can patch HANA and perform other LM tasks.
What you will need:
– A working HANA DB instance.
– The HANA installation media (usually an ISO file).
This will take less than 10 minutes if you already have the install media.
I have already converted the HANA install media DVD into an ISO file so that I can easily mount it as a virtual cdrom in a VM.
If you haven’t converted the install media to an ISO, you can always upload the media directly, or if you’re working in a VM, you can use the Shared Folders functionality to share a folder directly from the host O/S to the guest SUSE Linux VM.
Mount the ISO as a cdrom (I’m using a Virtual Machine as my SUSE HANA server).
On the cdrom you will have a directory containing the installation media for the HANA LM tool:
# cd /media/DATA_UNITS/SAPHANALM_LINUX_X86_64
As the root Linux user, run the installation tool (note: your HANA system can be shutdown during this process, especially if you have a low amount of memory):
# ./hdbinst
