1.1 Hardware Configuration Planning

RH2288H V3 SAP HANA Sizing Configuration table describes the hardware planning. Before installing the OS, depending on the HANA Sizing configuration planning storage space needed.

RH2288H V3 Broadwell hard disk planning is as follows:

1.slot 0 and slot 1 2*600G SAS hard disk configuration RAID1(disable Cachecade), for the installation of OS.

2.The rest of the hard disk configuration RAID50 (>10 disks) (or RAID5 for <=10 disks) enable Cachecade for HANA database volume

3.2*400G SSD,configurate RAID1 as Cachecade disk

2 Configuring the BIOS

This chapter describes how to configure the basic input/output system (BIOS) parameters of the server to meet performance requirements for SAP HANA operation.

2.1 Preparations

Step 1 Log in to the iBMC web user interface (WebUI).

Connect a network cable to the management network port on the server. Check that IP addresses of the management network ports on the server and PC are in the same network segment. Open Internet Explorer, enter the iBMC IP address (default: 192.168.2.100) in the address box.

Configure an IP address of the network port on the PC with the same network segment, subnet mask, and gateway as those of the IP address of the iBMC's network port.

Step 2 On the iBMC login page, enter the default user name (root) and password (Huawei12#$).

Type in English. Otherwise, character "$" may change to "¥" in Chinese or other characters in other languages.

Step 3 Click Log In, as shown in Figure 2-1.

iBMC supports both English and Chinese. You can choose a language as required.

This document uses screenshots in English.
