Overview This document provides version-specific information about HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP A.06.00 on Linux.

BB076ACE HP SGLX SAP x86 2P 1y 24x7 & PCL E-LTU BB077ACE HP SGLX SAP x86 4-8P 1y 24x7 & PCL E-LTU BB076AA HP SGLX SAP x86 Media Hewlett-Packard SGeSAP/LX is also bundled on DVDs or ISO images of HP Serviceguard for Linux Advanced and HP Serviceguard for Linux Enterprise. Complete Hewlett-Packard SGeSAP/LX cluster configurations can come as part of factory-integrated HA and DTS options for HP Converged System for HANA products.
The dbinstance module clusters the single-instance database of a Netweaver stack combining the uniform SAP database handling and a fallback to database-technology native operations. Supported database technologies include SAP Sybase, SAP MaxDB, and Oracle RDBMS. The sapextinstance module allows triggering best-effort start and stop operations for non-clustered SAP instances as part of regular package operations.
SAP software health monitoring HP SGeSAP/LX is delivered with a comprehensive set of software service monitors that help to keep track of the availability and responsiveness of the clustered SAP software services. Individual monitors are available for SAP Netweaver dispatcher, SAP enqueue service, SAP message service, SAP replication service, SAP livecache, SAP web dispatcher, SAP gateway, SAP MDM components, and for the underlying database services.
SAP-specific node-local cluster verification SGeSAP maintains a list of rules that specify local configuration requirements on potential secondary nodes. These requirements are checked with every execution of the cmcheckconf(1m) or cmapplyconf(1m) commands on a modular-style SGeSAP package. Use of cmcheckconf(1m) command for a SGeSAP package that is in a running condition helps to detect erroneous local configurations that negatively impacts the capability to failover a SGeSAP package to a certain node.
QXCR 1001319649 Failover of the SCS package to the node having ERS package does not always lead to an eventual ERS package failover after the SAP shake-hand procedure. QXCR 1001301420 An instance configured in sgesap/sapextinstance fails to start on the local node of the package if SAP startup agent was not already running. The following defects are fixed in Serviceguard Extension for SAP Version A.06.00.
NOTE: • Cluster File System (CFS) configurations are not supported. HP Quorum server software release supported by the chosen Serviceguard version is mandatory for HANA and optional for Netweaver.
