7 2 General Preparations 2.1 Required Software for ACC Installation SAP NW 7.2 for CE with a released DB and OS version and final support packages (only SP for Application Server Java is needed) SAP NW ACC 7.3 final Support Package The final SAPHOSTAGENT from The JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6.0 are available as a free download at Sun Microsystems: All services to be managed with ACC must have the SAP instance agent running (How to see note: ). 2.2 Known Issues 2.3 Documentation The following documents provide detailed information on SAP ACC: This Installation Guide (Fujitsu) For actual SAP ACC documentation please check on Special ACC notes: , and FF51A_Installation_Guide_for_SAP_Solutions (Fujitsu) Before installing SAP NetWeaver on FlexFrame, please refer to the original SAP installation guide. Get the final SAP Notes from the SAPNET: Please make sure that the FA Application Agents are stopped on the host that you are installing SAP Software on. FlexFrame for SAP7.3 3

8 General Preparations Documentation Sample system for this document: This document refers to the following examples: A73 = SID for NW7.2 for CE (ACC) installation bx920-1 = Host for ACC installation j00a73 = Virtual host name of ACC system cn1 = Control Node 1 bx920-x,vmx-xx = App Nodes L7S = Managed Service 4 FlexFrame for SAP7.3

9 3 Installation of ACC First of all you have to decide in which way you want to integrate the ACC in your FlexFrame environment: 1. Install ACC in every FlexFrame pool. 2. Install ACC in a Common pool with network routing to all other pools (Security restrictions!) The decision is important for the ACC pool configuration. See section Pools, Networks and Characteristics Configuration on page 61. Install SAP NW 7.2 for CE + SP and the ACC final Service Pack in FlexFrame. Please keep in mind with this installation you have to install the Diagnostic Agent System. Don t forget to prepare a java only instance with ff_sid_adm.pl..- - smd in the FlexFrame environment. 3.1 SAP NW 7.2 for CE Installation Please make sure that the FA Application Agents are stopped on the hosts that you are installing SAP Software on.

64 Configuration of ACC Configure the Adaptive Computing Landscape Pools, Networks and Characteristics Configuration Navigate to Pools,Networks,and Characteristics Configuration and select tab Pools. The pool names depend on your decision in which way you have installed ACC in a FlexFrame enviroment: 1. ACC pools like FlexFrame groups of hardware: so you have install ACC in every FlexFrame pool. 2. ACC pools like FlexFrame pools : so you have install ACC in a Common pool with network routing to all other pools (Security restrictions!) Switch to Edit mode, click on Add and enter the required data. Then click on Save. 60 FlexFrame for SAP7.3

65 Configure the Adaptive Computing Landscape Configuration of ACC Select tab Networks and switch to Edit mode, click on Add and enter the required data (depends on the step before and on how many FlexFrame pools you have in your ACC landscape e.g. Client LAN p1, Server LAN p1, Cient LAN p2,.). Then click on Save. FlexFrame for SAP7.3 61

66 Configuration of ACC Configure the Adaptive Computing Landscape You use this procedure to create new characteristics similar to pool, hierarchy, and so on (which are delivered as standard) and to group the services and resources according to these characteristics. The grouping functionality also makes the mass operations easier to handle. You should define the attributes for the characteristics according to the needs of each company. For example, a company that is located in different time zones could require systems to be started/stopped or relocated in a certain time zone. Due to these needs, in ACC you can now define new characteristics, characteristic values, and the assignment of services and resources to it. 62 FlexFrame for SAP7.3

114 Glossary Virtual host Before an application starts, the virtual host name is assigned to the physical host where the application is to run. From the application's perspective, it always runs on the same virtual host, even if the application is moved to another physical host. The following rule forms the host names of virtual services: <service_type>[<id>]<sid>[<-lan type] where <service_type> can be one of: ci - central instance (ABAP) db - database instance app - application instance (ABAP) ascs - ABAP SAP central services instance scs - JAVA SAP central services instance jc - JAVA central instance j - JAVA application instance <ID> is a number from 00 to 96 (except: 2, 25, 43, 72, 89) for the service types app and j only. It is empty for other service types. <SID> is the system ID of an SAP system. <LAN type> -se empty string Server LAN Client LAN This host name formation rule for virtual services is mandatory in version 3.2 of the FlexFrame solution. Some components rely on this rule. Within a FlexFrame environment, each node name must be unique. However, each node may have multiple host names that are derived from the node name by a defined naming rule. In SAP environments host names are currently limited to 13 alphanumeric characters including the hyphen ( - ). The first character must be a letter. In the SAP environment host names are case-sensitive.
