Executive Summary The purpose of this white paper is to assist sales representatives and solution architects with understanding, implementing, and consolidating ERP solutions using multi-partition HP Integrity platforms. By leveraging the work that HP performed in implementing a multi-tiered SAP R/3 application, customers can reduce their deployment time, which improves the Total Customer Experience for their HP-UX 11i HP Integrity implementation. Customer Focused Testing reduces deployment time by validating and documenting all major hardware and software elements in a given configuration.

This document demonstrates to customers and HP field personnel that this configuration information has been successfully validated in the test environment. Please note that while these configurations have been effectively validated, they have not been optimized for specific customer workloads and may therefore need further refinement.

SAP Solution Overview

Hardware Components Database Servers Two Integrity Superdome hard partitions were running SAP DB/CI and Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 in a SGeSAP cluster configuration. A HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7410 was used for shared database storage. A HP Surestore disk system SC10 was used for the operating system.

Application Servers Two Integrity Superdome hard partitions were running SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 SR1.

DNS Server One Integrity Superdome hard partition was running the Windows 2003 64-bit Data Center Edition. A HP StorageWorks disk system 2110 was used as a boot device.

Software Components The software stack was comprised of HP ISU products and ISV software components. SAP was installed along with the high availability Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP). When incorporated together, the following software components provide a highly available SAP/ERP application environment:

• HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments • HP Hardware Partitions (nPars) • HP C/ANSI C Developer ‘s Bundle • HP aC++ Compiler • Java2 1.3 SDK for HPUX • HP Serviceguard • HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP) • HP OpenView Storage Data Protector • SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 • Oracle 9i Database

Hardware Topology In order to perform a server consolidation proof of concept, a 3-tier SAP R/3 installation was implemented using hard partitions on a single Integrity Superdome complex. An additional partition on the Integrity Superdome was used as a Windows-based DNS server. See Figure 1, below.

Application Environment The application stack was used to validate the Serviceguard failover, installation, configuration and basic functionality of SAP. The SAP R/3 compliance test was used to verify that the application in the software stack was working correctly. The HP OpenView Storage Data Protector backup and recovery product was also tested.

High Availability Environment At the database tier, the Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP) was integrated with Oracle 9i on two Integrity Superdome partitions to provide high-availability for SAP and Oracle processes. The SAP and Oracle data files were stored on external disk arrays that were accessible from both the primary and secondary DB/CI servers. A dual path between the external storage and the database servers eliminated the single point of failure between the disks and systems. Serviceguard ensured that processes would failover whenever the primary server system became unavailable.

SAP R/3 Compliance Testing Test Activities The SAP compliance test consists of running SAP transactions through the SAPGUI client front-end. The test validates the application functionality at all three levels: the client, the application, and the database layer. It also verifies the network functionality between all of the SAP servers.

• Checking SAP Instance Processes This test verifies that all SAP R/3 processes are running.

• Basic Network Functions and Configuration This test validates the network configuration of the SAP R/3 network. The niping utility is used to verify network connectivity between the host machines.

• Load Balanced SAP Front Logon This test checks that the SAP “load balanced front logon” functionality is working properly. When a user connects as part of a logon group, one of the servers from the list of reachable application servers is selected by the load balance mechanism to handle the session.

• Checking Reachable Application Servers The lgtst tool is used to access and check the message server list on the Central Instance (CI), which keeps a list of application servers that can be reached within the system.

• Checking Address Entries of the Local Gateway The gateway service on the CI keeps a list of addresses that refers to the local host machine. This test checks the number of entries currently held by the gateway and determines whether all local addresses are included in the address list.

• Checking Consistency The SAP defined transaction SICK compares the kernel, database, and operating system release to determine whether certain tables exist and are consistent in the ABAP Dictionary.

• Checking the Message and Gateway Services This test verifies the message and gateway services are functioning properly. All the SAP R/3 instances of a SAP R/3 system should be displayed and the work processes should be viewable.

7

• Checking Logical Remote Function Call Destination These transactions check to see if the Remote Function Call destination is reachable

• System Wide Remote Function Call Connection This transaction uses remote function calls to all running SAP R/3 instances in order to show all of the users who are currently logged on to the entire SAP R/3 environment.

• Enqueue and Update Services The enqueue service locks objects at the SAP level using an enqueue table. This table is held in the Central Instance. In order to check communication with the enqueue service inside the system, this test accesses the enqueue service from a non-Central Instance.

Test Results The compliance tests passed with no errors.

High Availability Testing Test Activities In order to verify the high availability characteristics of SAP, Oracle, and SGeSAP, a failover test was performed. The Serviceguard cluster was brought up and the package was started on the primary DB/CI server. After validating that all of the SAP and Oracle processes were up and functioning correctly, a compliance test was run on the active DB/CI server. Next, a Serviceguard planned failover was performed on the cluster which migrated the application package from the primary node to the secondary node. Once again, a compliance test was performed on the active DB/CI server to verify application functionality. Finally, the Serviceguard package was migrated back to the primary node. All SAP and Oracle processes were verified and a compliance test was completed.

Test Results All SAP and Oracle processes were running correctly on the active node after the planned failover and each compliance test completed without any errors.

HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Testing Test Activities The HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Client software was locally installed on each clustered SAP R/3 database node. The client software components include Data Protector’s disk agent for file system backup, user interface for command-line access, and SAP R/3 integration for linking the SAP R/3 backup utilities (BRTOOLS) with Data Protector. The Data Protector Manager GUI was used to import the hostname of the application cluster package to the Data Protector Cell Manager so that backups could continue in the event of an application cluster package failover. The SAP R/3 integration was then configured using the hostname of the application cluster package. The validation testing sequence consisted of the following:

• Local installation of the client software to the clustered SAP R/3 database nodes • Importing the hostname of the application cluster package to the Data Protector server • Integration of the SAP R/3 backup utilities (BRTOOLS) with Data Protector • Online backup using both the Data Protector Manager GUI and the client command-line interface • Restoration of the SAP R/3 data file, using the Data Protector Manager GUI • Recovery of the database, using the SAP R/3 (BRRECOVER) utility • Online backup after an SAP R/3 application fail-over to the secondary database node in the cluster

Test Results As described in the test activities, this testing was intended to uncover any inconsistencies with the product usage specifications. The overall test results were successful. However, a documentation error was discovered due to a SAP product change. A detail of this discovery is presented in Appendix F.

Functional Summary / Recommendations The overall results of the tests indicate that multi-tiered SAP R/3 application environments can be successfully implemented and consolidated on multiple partitions of a single Integrity Superdome complex. The SAP R/3 application, Oracle database, networking and backup software all functioned as expected in this highly available configuration. In addition, the Windows Data Center Edition DNS server ran in a separate partition on the same Integrity Superdome complex. This demonstrates that HP-UX and Windows operating systems can run independently and simultaneously in their designated partitions within the same Integrity Superdome.

Accordingly, the Integrated Solutions Deployment Lab makes the following recommendations:

• Consider using Workload Manager. This product dynamically moves CPU resources between partitions as required to achieve the service level objective of SAP application. Again, this ensures higher levels of server utilization and increased agility since server resources are automatically and effectively adjusted on demand to meet changing business priorities and application usage levels.

• Consider the Integrity Superdome as well as other smaller cell architecture Integrity servers for server consolidation efforts.

• Follow the standard HP high availability implementation guidelines. • Follow the standard Oracle performance tuning process for each database server. • Follow the standard SAP performance tuning process for the application servers. • Consider using the Instant-Capacity-on-Demand (iCOD) and Pay-Per-Use (PPU) products. The ability

to pay only for the actual processors used could significantly reduce the Cost of Ownership, while leaving “head room” in the system available for rapid deployment. Also, the presence of the available processors could enhance system reliability since the iCOD software will automatically switch to a new CPU in the event that an error is detected in a currently used CPU.

Appendix A – Detailed Hardware Environment

Integrity Superdome Partitions A 16 cell Integrity Superdome with two IO expanders was used. Each of the cells was connected to its own IO chassis. Redundant IO paths, particularly on the database partitions, were implemented to maximize fault tolerance. To maximize availability and fault isolation, the replicated partitions (database servers, application servers) were defined in different cabinets. To optimize performance, all of the cells for any given partition were kept within a single cross-plane.

Appendix F – Problems and Workarounds In order to restore a SAP R/3 data object, the “HP OpenView Storage Data Protector UNIX Integration Guide” provides examples using the BRRESTORE utility from SAPDBA. Using this method to perform the restore resulted in the following error:

SAPDBA: Bad format in detail BRBACKUP log file. (2004-xx-xx 17.21.04) Filename: "/oracle/S03/sapbackup/bdmdnmwr.pnf" Line : 41 Additional info: LOC_017:

Workaround: When the problem was reported to SAP, HP was told that SAP is no longer developing the SAPDBA functions and that SAPDBA will soon be obsolete. SAP strongly recommends that customers use the BRRECOVER functions rather than the equivalent SAPDBA functionsbecause BRRECOVER will always be fully up-to-date.
