AWS/Azure – Create LifeKeeper SAP Resources

*Note: This section applies to deployments on AWS and Microsoft Azure. For deployments on Google Cloud, follow the steps given in Google Cloud – Create LifeKeeper SAP Resources.

Create the ASCS Resource Hierarchy

1. In the LifeKeeper Web Management Console Resource Tree, click “Operations”, then “Create Resource Hierarchy” to open the Create Resource Wizard. Select the “SAP” Recovery Kit and click “Next”

2. Enter the following values to create and extend a LifeKeeper resource (SAP-SPS_ASCS10) to protect the ASCS10 instance on node-a and node-b. Notice that the resource is being created on node-a and extended to node-b. Also note that the resulting resource should not be extended to node-c, the witness node. The icon indicates that the default option is chosen.

Field	Value
Create Resource Wizard
Server	node-a
SAP SID	SPS
SAP Instance	ASCS10
SAP Resource Tag	SAP-SPS_ASCS10
Switchback Type	intelligent
Virtual IP Resource Tag(s)	ip-sps-ascs
Automate Creation of SAP-related File System Resources	no
Dependent filesystem resource	/usr/sap/SPS/ASCS10,nfs-/export/sapmnt/SPS
File System Resource Tag(s)	/usr/sap/SPS/ASCS10,nfs-/export/sapmnt/SPS
Protection Level	Full
Recovery Level	Full
Extend Resource Wizard
Template Priority	1
Target Server	node-b
Target Priority	10
Switchback Type	intelligent
SAP Resource Tag	SAP-SPS_ASCS1

Once the SAP-SPS_ASCS10 resource has been successfully created and extended to node-b, the LifeKeeper resource Tree should look similar to the following.

3. Right-click on the SAP-SPS_ASCS10 resource and select Create Dependency from the drop-down menu.

For Child Resource Tag, specify the nfs-/export/usr/sap/trans resource and click “Confirm”.

On the next dialog, click Create to create the dependency.

Once it has finished, click “Close”. The resulting hierarchy will look similar to the following:

Create the ERS Resource Hierarchy

1. In the LifeKeeper Web Management Console Resource Tree, click “Operations”, then “Create Resource Hierarchy” to open the Create Resource Wizard. Select the “SAP” Recovery Kit and click “Next”.

2. Enter the following values to create and extend a LifeKeeper resource (SAP-SPS_ERS20) to protect the ERS20 instance on node-a and node-b. Notice that this resource is being created on node-b and extended to node-a. Also note that the resulting resource should not be extended to node-c, the witness node. The icon indicates that the default option is chosen.

Field	Value
Create Resource Wizard
Server	node-b
SAP SID	SPS
SAP Instance	ERS20
SAP Resource Tag	SAP-SPS_ERS20
Switchback Type	intelligent
