General Setup Steps

1. Create Virtual IP, done in earlier steps on node1, extend, done in earlier steps

2. Create EC2 resource and create as dependency for virtual IP, done in earlier steps

3. Install SAP on node1 on “virtual hostname” based on “virtual IP”

4. Stopsap on node 1

5. Use the LifeKeeper GUI to “In-service” the virtual IP to node 2, and Install SAP on node 2 on “virtual hostname” based on “virtual IP”

6. Stopsap on node 2 and modify profile files on both nodes (see below)

7. Use the LifeKeeper GUI to “In-service” the virtual IP back to node 1

8. Create replication resource for the mount points needed for SAP, done in earlier steps, as advised by SAP consultants

9. Startsap on node1 and ensure SAP is working properly

10. In /etc/default/LifeKeeper on both nodes add the follow entries to the end:

SAP_EXPERTMODE=1

SAP_DB_CHECK_IGNORE=1

11. Re-run the LifeKeeper setup program to add the SAP recovery kit

Mount the sps.img file (downloaded as per earlier steps) using the following command:

mount <PATH/IMAGE_NAME> <MOUNT_POINT> -t iso9660 -o loop

Where PATH is the path to the image

IMAGE_NAME is the name of the image

MOUNT_POINT is the path to mount location

Change to the sps.img mounted directory and type the following: ./setup -k

You will now be shown a menu of recovery kits available. Select the recovery kit for SAP by using the arrow keys and pressing the <spacebar> to select, press <enter> to continue and complete the installation.

12. Setup NFS servers

13. Copy file systems onto the SAP server and create replication resources on the file systems for redundancy and failover

14. Create NFS resources following the NFS Recovery Kit guide
