The software components come preconfigured in form of an installation image with IBM GPFS and SAP HANA included. The media kit for SUSE Linux for SAP Applications, respectively Red Hat Enterprise Linux is included on a DVD.

Lenovo Systems Solution for SAP HANA™ appliance Quick Start Guide

Chapter 3. Requirements

This section provides requirements of the Lenovo Systems Solution for SAP HANA. You must configure the integrated management module (IMM) for the server and the corresponding network modules in your network based on the requirement from SAP. To perform the initial server configuration and installation, there are both network and information requirements that you must obtain from your IT administrator.

The Workload Optimized Solution for SAP HANA requires the following networks (minimum requirements):

• SAP Business Suite access to customer network

• SAP HANA internal communications (hananode)

• Internal GPFS communications (gpfsnode)

• Lenovo server management via integrated management module (IMM)

Notes:

• In a single node installation, the internal networks are connected to the server. No connection to any external infrastructure.

• In a cluster installation, the internal networks are connected to the internal 10 Gigabit Network Switch which is part of the IBM appliance.

Network requirements

Single Node Configuration

The server provides the following connectivity options in the standard configuration:

• A 100 Mb or 1 Gb network connection using IMM interface

• Four to six 1GbE ports

• Four 10GbE SFP+ ports

Other configuration may be available upon request.

In the single node configuration, depending on your network environment, the 1GbE port or the 10GbE SFP+ port may be used for connecting the server to your network. Any two NIC ports may be used for the connections to your network. Thus, two single, non-bonded ports must be assigned to the internal HANA and GPFS communications and must not be connected to your network.

Clustered Configuration

The server provides the same connectivity options in the standard configuration. Other configuration may be available upon request.

• Non-HA configuration: Each server uses two of the four 10GbE SFP+ ports for the internal HANA and GPFS communications. Thus, two 10GbE SFP+ ports and four to six 1GbE ports are available for the integration into your network environment.

• HA configuration: Each server uses all 10GbE SFP+ ports for creating the internal networks regarding HANA and GPFS communications. Thus, four to six 1GbE ports are available for connecting the server to your network. The integration of the appliance servers into your network can either be done through 1 Gigabit Ethernet switch delivered by IBM as part of the solution (e.g. the IBM G8052 1 Gigabit RackSwitch) or by connecting the servers to other switches provided by you.

Note: If a 10 Gb uplink is needed or the redundant connections are required for higher availability, additional 10 Gb Emulex adapters can be installed into the server. Contact your sales representative for more information.

The following illustration shows a possible network configuration for the clustered configuration.

Note: The "Customer Switch Choice" labeled switches are either 1 Gigabit Ethernet adapter or 10GbE SFP+ switches provided by you or Lenovo. Make the switch uplink redundant when possible.

Network Time Protocol (NTP)

• Clustered Configuration: NTP is mandatory and must be configured during the installation. All nodes have to run in the same time zone.

• Single Node Configuration: NTP is highly recommended.

Information requirements

Before you configure the server and install SAP HANA, gather the following network information from your network administrator.

Attention: Installation and configuration through Lenovo approved service technicians is mandatory. If you try to install or configure the system by yourself or by a non-approved technician, the system might get damaged and you would run out of support.

Accessing the system

This section describes how to remotely access the system using the integrated management module (IMM) web interface.

Note: Before you turn on the server for the first time, connect the server to a KVM (keyboard, video, monitor) console for initial remote access configuration.

Obtaining or changing the IP address for the web interface access

To access the web interface and use the remote presence feature, you need the IP address for the IMM. You can obtain the IMM IP address through the Setup utility. To locate the IP address, complete the following steps:

1. Turn on the server.

2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Setup utility menu.

3. From the Setup utility main menu, select System Settings.

4. In the next window, select Integrated Management Module.

5. In the next window, select Network Configuration.

6. Find the IP address and write it down.

7. Exit from the Setup utility.

Logging on to the web interface

To log on to the web interface to use the remote presence functions, complete the following steps:

1. Open a web browser on a computer that connects to the server and in the Address or URL field, type the IP address or host name of the IMM to which you want to connect.

Notes:

a. If you are logging on to the IMM for the first time after installation, the IMM defaults to DHCP. If a

DHCP host is not available, the IMM uses the default static IP address 192.168.70.125.

b. You can set the DHCP-assigned IP address or the static IP address using the Setup utility on the

server (see the documentation that comes with your server for detailed information).

2. On the Login page, type the user name and password. If you are using the IMM for the first time, you can obtain the user name and password from your system administrator. All login attempts are documented in the system-event log. A welcome page opens in the browser.

Note: The IMM is set initially with a user name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD (passw0rd with a zero, not the letter O). You have read/write access. For enhanced security, change this default password during the initial configuration.
