4 SAP HANA Installation
This section provides a short overview of the installation of an SAP HANA system.
SAP HANA can be installed in several ways on different architectures. The SAP Server Installation and Update
Guide along with the guides provided by the server vendor reflect these options. Below the installation of a
single-host system is shown.
1. First download the SAP HANA installation media. If you are using the Support Packages & Patches SAP
HANA sources you need in additional the SAP archive tool (SAPCAR) from the SAP Service Marketplace.
2. Create a directory which should hold the SAP HANA installation media, for example:
# mkdir /install
3. ○ Option 1
You have a multi spaned selfextracting RAR archive (xxxxxx.EXE). Change the directory and unar the
archive.
# cd /install
# unar <path_to_the_downloaded_media>_part1.exe
○ Option 2
To have SAPCAR within the path to easily execute it, copy the SAP archiver (SAPCAR) to the personal
bin directory of the root user for example:
# cp <path_to_the_downloaded_installer>/SAPCAR_<xxxxxxxxx> ~/bin
4. Extract the SAP HANA installation media into the created /install directory, for example:
# cd /install
# SAPCAR_<xxxxxxxxx> -xvsf <path_to_the_media_archive>/<yyyyy>.sar
5. Change to the directory where the SAP HANA installation media are located to start the installation or start
the hdblcm tool from the point where you are.
6. Install the SAP HANA system by running the SAP HANA lifecycle management tool (hdblcmgui with
graphical interface, hdblcm as command line tool):
# /hana/media/51053381/DATA_UNITS/HDB_LCM_LINUX_X86_64/hdblcm
