2 Install SAP Host Agent:

2.1 Procedure
 Log on as a user with root authorization.
 Change to the directory to which you extracted the SAPHOSTAGENT<SP-version>.SAR archive.
 Start the installation by entering the following command:

./saphostexec -install

The progress of the installation is displayed on the command line.

Create the following directory:

mkdir /usr/sap/tmp

The administrator user sapadm of the SAP Host Agent is created automatically during the installation, but
it does not get assigned a password. You can assign a password after the installation has finished (see
next step).

If required, assign a password to the sapadm user by entering the following command:

passwd sapadm

After the installation has finished successfully, you can check whether SAP Host Agent is up and running
by executing the following command from the directory of the SAP Host Agent executables:

/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexec -status

3.3.1 Edit the cfg file for hdbreg

 Open file /hana/shared/HDB/global/hdb/install/support/cfg,

vi /hana/shared/HDB/global/hdb/install/support/cfg

Change the content to reflect your values:

'sapsys_groupid': 1001,

'sidadm_comment': 'SAP System Administrator',

'sidadm_home': '/usr/sap/HDB/home',

'sidadm_id': 1005,

'sidadm_shell': '/bin/csh'}

 Replace 'sapsys_groupid' value with the Group ID for sapsys (112 in our case).
 Change 'sidadm_home' value according to your system (i.e. /home/hdbadm)
 Replace 'sidadm_id' value with the UID of the user you created (1002 in our case).

3.4 hdbreg
You need:

 UID of the hdbadm

 Desired password for hdbadm
 Old hostname

Steps:

 Log on as a user with root authorizations.

 Go to /hana/shared/HDB/HDB02
 Identify the hostname from the source

 Execute the following commands (change yellow sections accordingly):

/hana/shared/HDB/global/hdb/install/bin/hdbreg --batch --password Welcome1 --

userid=1002 --hostmap=izrhhanab=hw00001

Use hdbreg –help to learn about additional options of the program.

Wait until the execution of the commands has completed. This will take some time.

 The SAP HANA instance will be started automatically !

If you plan to rename your SAP HANA database, you can use hdbrename. Consult hdbrename –help to
learn about the options. The syntax of hdbrename is similar to that of hdbreg.

Note:  No support for the hdbrename during Demo21!

Install SAP HANA License

You will need to install a new SAP HANA license.

Result:

The SAP Hana database is functionally working. You can connect to the database using SAP HANA
