Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for SAP Solutions on IBM POWER9: An open foundation to power intelligent business decisions

At Red Hat Summit 2019, we unveiled Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, the next generation of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, which provides the scale, flexibility and innovation to drive enterprise workloads across the hybrid cloud. Even with the advancements across the platform, we recognize that there’s no singular panacea to overcome every unique IT challenge. To meet these needs, Red Hat delivers specialized offerings built around Red Hat Enterprise Linux to address specific hardware, applications and environment requirements, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 continues this strategy with the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for SAP Solutions on IBM Power Systems (POWER9).

Digital transformation strategies frequently emphasize using technology to make smarter decisions faster by better using existing data. The SAP portfolio of business applications and data analysis technologies, including SAP HANA and SAP NetWeaver, are designed to help customers achieve this goal while also accelerating overall business processes. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for SAP Solutions, organizations now have a smoother path to integrate, manage or merge heterogeneous SAP software environments, as well as operate SAP and non-SAP applications, on a single, proven and standardized platform.

The underlying compute architecture also plays a role in an organization’s ability to effectively transform themselves into a more digitally-nimble enterprise. Built on open standards, IBM POWER9 offers a powerful choice for modern architectures, especially those running next-generation AI and machine-learning (ML) applications fueled by SAP solutions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for SAP Solutions on IBM Power Systems provides a consistent, flexible platform across Power implementations running SAP applications, delivering a common control plane that easily integrates into broader datacenter operations.

With this offering, SAP HANA is fully certified and supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 on IBM POWER9 as documented in SAP notes 2777782 and 2235581. Beyond the benefits provided by the latest version of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for SAP Solutions on IBM Power includes:

• the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Add-On for High Availability which helps to enhance the reliability of critical SAP applications.
• the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Add-On for Smart Management for more easily managing and updating large deployments of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions.
• Red Hat Insights to help IT organizations proactively detect problems with their SAP software deployments and to best optimize the operating environment to support their business transactions and big data initiatives.

We’re pleased to bring the power, consistency and flexibility of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 to SAP applications and IBM POWER architecture. For more information, read more about the collaboration between Red Hat, IBM and SAP.

Frequently asked questions

What is a product trial? How is a Red Hat product trial different from a traditional licensed software trial?

Red Hat® product trials offer all the benefits included in a Red Hat subscription. But Red Hat product trials are more than just access to the latest code. They provide access to all versions of the software, to patches and other software updates, and to our award-winning Red Hat Customer Portal.

Who can sign up for a trial?

Anyone can request a product trial. However, some offers require a subscription to another product, administrator access, or other prerequisite in order to access the trial. Please see the specific requirements for your trial on the main offer page.

May I run product trial software in a production environment?

Product trials are not intended for production environments. Using product trials in a production environment is a violation of the product trial terms and conditions.

Do Red Hat product trials come with support? How do I know if my trial has support?

Some product trials offer a level of support while others are self-supported (unsupported). There are several ways to determine the support level of your product trial:

• In the product trial name (e.g., 60 Day Self Supported Red Hat Directory Server Evaluation). You’ll find this in the welcome email you receive when your product trial begins.
• On the Subscriptions page in Red Hat Customer Portal.
• By contacting Sales or Customer Service.

Users with self-supported product trials have access to all product documentation as well as the vast Red Hat Knowledgebase.

How do I access my product trial?

Once your product trial subscription is active, you’ll have access to your product. It may be provided via a download of the latest version, or by accessing it via the cloud. You will find steps to access your product on the «success» page (the page that opens after you click «Start my trial» and is also accessible from the confirmation email you’ll receive).

How long does a product trial last?

Most product trials are 60 days, but exceptions may be made at the discretion of Red Hat Sales and Customer Service based on the user’s needs.

What technologies can I try through this program?

Nearly all Red Hat technologies are available for a product trial. You can find a listing of available trials in the Red Hat product trial center. If there is a product you’d like to try that isn’t listed, please contact Red Hat Sales.

Why do I need to consult with a sales representative to obtain certain product trials?

There are several possible reasons:

1. You’ve requested more than 1 product trial.
2. You wish to extend your current product trial beyond the trial period.
3. Your product trial is not available via the web.
4. You’ve requested multiple product trials as part of a bundled SKU.
5. Your product trial requires additional approvals before being activated.

Contact Red Hat Sales to try these technologies.

Can I renew the product trial after it has expired?

There are limits to how many product trials are allowed for each product over a given time period. If you need to extend your product trial or request more trials, please contact Red Hat Sales.

I’d like to use the product trial software after my trial has expired, or I’d like to use the software in a production environment. What are my options?

• Purchase a subscription.
• Renew the product trial after the expiry grace period has ended.
• Contact Red Hat Sales to determine if the product trial can be renewed sooner or if a similar product trial is available.

Глава 10. Загрузка установки на IBM Power Systems

Запуск программы установки на серверах IBM Power Systems осуществляется загрузчиком yaboot, в то время как за загрузку уже установленной системы отвечает GRUB2 (см. Раздел 11.10.1, «Установка загрузчика»).

Чтобы загрузить IBM Power Systems с DVD, надо настроить его в качестве загрузочного устройства в меню SMS ( System Management Services ).

Чтобы открыть окно SMS, нажмите 1 , когда услышите звуковой сигнал в процессе загрузки.
В текстовом режиме нажмите 1 , как только появится баннер с проверяемыми компонентами

Рисунок 10.1. Консоль SMS

В меню SMS выберите Выбрать параметры загрузки , затем Выбрать загрузочные устройства и выберите CD/DVD и тип шины (обычно SCSI). Если вы не уверены, выберите просмотр всех устройств (включая сетевые адаптеры и жесткие диски).

Выберите установочный DVD, с которого будет загружен yaboot , после чего появится строка приглашения boot: . Чтобы начать установку, добавьте параметр загрузки inst.vnc и нажмите Enter (или дождитесь истечения заданного периода ожидания).

Так как IBM Power Systems обычно используют текстовую консоль, графический режим установки не выбирается автоматически несмотря на то, что он обладает более гибкими возможностями.

Для загрузки системы по сети следует использовать yaboot в совокупности с vmlinuz и ramdisk . Дело в том, что размер файла ppc64.img слишком велик для TFTP, поэтому прямая попытка загрузки системы по сети приведет к ошибкам.

Cannot load initrd.img: Claim failed for initrd memory at 02000000 rc=ffffffff

Чтобы это исправить, измените значение real-base на c00000 . Текущее значение можно узнать в строке приглашения OpenFirmware, выполнив printenv . Команда setenv позволяет его изменить.
