Note: Before applying the roles on a managed node, verify that the RHEL release on the managed node is supported by the SAP software version that you are planning to install. The role will enforce a certain configuration on the managed node(s), which might not be intended. Do not run these roles against a SAP or other production system.
Note: The roles are designed to be used right after the initial installation of a managed node. See the table below for the supported hardware/virtualization/cloud platforms of the managed node: Hardware platformīare Metal/Virtualization/ Cloud platformīare metal, Red Hat Virtualization/libvirt, VMware ESX, Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Providersįully supported: sap-preconfigure, sap-netweaver-preconfigure Please find the instructions for this version here. Please find the instructions for these versions here.įor control nodes running RHEL 8.2 or RHEL 8.3, you can use version 2 of rhel-system-roles-sap which is fully supported. † Note: For control nodes running RHEL 7.8, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.1, you can use the previous versions of rhel-system-roles-sap which are in Tech Preview support status. See the following table for the support status: Control Node The RHEL System Roles for SAP and Ansible packages do not need to be installed on the systems that are being managed/configured.
It is recommended that you use the latest major release of RHEL on the control node (RHEL 8) and use the latest version of the roles either from the rhel-system-roles-sap RPM or from Red Hat Automation Hub. The control node connects to the local host and/or to one or more remote hosts (called managed nodes in the context of Ansible), and performs installation and configuration steps on them. The RHEL System Roles for SAP, just like the RHEL System Roles, are installed and run from a central node referred to as the control node (which can be Ansible Tower, Red Hat Satellite, or a RHEL 8 or RHEL 7 host). The following RHEL System Roles for SAP are fully supported on control nodes running RHEL 8.2 and later: Additional information is available at Top Support Policies for Red Hat Ansible Automation.
However, if you require full support for the Ansible Engine itself, a separate Red Hat Ansible Automation Subscription is necessary.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription provides support for RHEL System Roles with Ansible Engine, which is available in the Ansible Engine repository (e.g. In contrast, RHEL System Roles for SAP is provided in the RHEL for SAP Solutions subscription and can be used by Ansible Engine and Ansible Tower to manage RHEL systems. These roles are provided in the RHEL Extras repository. RHEL System Roles is a collection of roles executed by Ansible to assist administrators with server configuration right after the servers have been installed. RHEL System Roles for SAP development is based on the Linux System Roles upstream project. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 RHEA-2019:3190 introduced RHEL System Roles for SAP to assist with remotely or locally configuring a RHEL system for the installation of SAP HANA or SAP NetWeaver software. Report the SAP HANA notes compliance status of a RHEL system The assertion for getting the current status of the CPU Governor for performance (x86_64 platform only) fails Role sap-preconfigure fails if DNS domain is not set on the managed node Extended check (=assert) parameters are not recognized in previous versions of the roles Roles produce limited output when running in check mode
