A crucial point is to use multiple paravirtual SCSI adapters to connect the virtual disks. This improves system performance,
especially for the disks for database files and transaction logs.
This is provided in the section “Create virtual machine”.
The following list can be used as an example:

Deployment and Provisioning

This section provides deployment and provisioning details for creating a Virtual Machine to run SAP NetWeaver along
with a Sybase ASE database.
Create virtual machine

1. Select one of your datacenters and click the button for ‘add VM’.
2. Select ‘Create a new virtual machine‘
3. Enter a name for the VM – the planned hostname for example.
4. Select a cluster or a host where to place the VM.
5. Select an OmniStack datastore.
6. Select ‘ESXi 6.0 and later’ if you are on ESXi 6.0
7. Select an Operating System and version.
8. Configure and Memory according to your requirements and configure your first Hard disk. This disk is recommended
to be used for OS and binaries on SCSI port 0:0 – see example list in section “Define VM disk layout”.
9. Add a SCSI controller “VMware Paravirtual”
10. Add another hard disk and set the new SCSI controller (1:0) for it.
11. Continue with adding SCSI controllers and hard disk. Use the list from section “Create VM disk layout”.
1.
12. Enter a size for the new hard disk
13. This is an example summary – click ‘Finish’ when done.
Example Summary (continued)
14. The VM is ready to be used.
Installation of SLES 4 SAP 5. Select ‘Installation’ and confirm license agreement.
This section provides a detailed, screenshot-based

information on how to install “SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server for SAP Applications” on the VM created in the
previous section.
It is recommended to use a SAP specific versions of Linux.

These versions are available from SUSE and Red Hat.

1. SAP on VMware vSphere

2. SAP Note SLES Install notes

Installation
1. Download installation media and upload it to 6. Confirm the license agreement
your datastore.
2. Connect the .iso file of DVD-1 to your VM
3. Power On the VM
7. Configure network settings and click Next
4. Open the console window for your VM, you should see
the selection screen.
8. Configure Hostname setting and click Next
9. Enter registration information or skip this step to register the installation later.
10. Select Product Installation Mode
11. Choose the correct hard disk for OS installation – see section “Create VM disk layout”
IMPORTANT STEP: 12. For SLES4SAP no additional software is required. For

other versions, please check recent SAP installation notes.
Recommended file system for root partition is Ext4.
Swap space is recommended to be configured with 20GB.

This is not possible with the installer – therefore we delete
the swap partition from the suggested configuration and
configure a swap file later.
13. Set your time zone.
14. Adjust installation settings according to your Linux OS Post-Installation tasks

process to finish – OS boot at the end should happen
automatically. The most important configuration objects are now net-
work, swap and disks.
Network interfaces and hostname resolution

Configure a network card, if not yet done. Or add addi-
tional NICs if required.
To install SAP, we need at least one configured NIC with a

Mac Address and an IP address.
Recommendation: add your hostname incl. full qualified

address to the /etc/hosts file as well – just to be sure you
don’t have DNS issues.
15. You can now log on via SSH and continue with the
mandatory post-installation tasks to configure the
host.
SWAP space
During the installation process, we skipped the configura-
tion of a swap partition.
Instead of using a dedicated disk or partition, we use a

swap file placed on our root device.

1. Create an and add your swapfile with the following commands
saphost:~ # mkdir /swap

saphost:~ # swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/swap/swap-0001 file 20971516 0 -1
2. Add your swapfile to the /etc/fstab using vi or similar
saphost:~ # cat /etc/fstab | grep swap

/swap/swap-0001 none swap sw 0 0
3. Reboot and check if swapfile is still configured
saphost:~ # swapon -s

/swap/swap-0001 file 20971516 0 -1
Disks, partitions and mount points

During OS setup process, we only configured the disk containing our root partition (incl. our swap file).
Now we have to create new partitions on our other hard disks, format them with file systems and mount the partitions to
our system – see again the table in section “Define VM file system layout”.

Provide SAP installation media and documentation

Read the most recent version of installation guides for your SAP software product and determine the required installation
media. You will require login credentials and download authorization in SAP’s support portal.
Typically, you will need at least following types of install media:
- Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) in most recent version
- SAP Kernel
- SAP Kernel Patch
- RDBMS
- RDBMS Client
- Installation export for your software product
- SAPCAR binary for your platform, to extract the SAR-archives
Download everything and provide it on the server. Using CIFS mounts for accessing installation media is NOT recom-
mended.
After uploading to the server, you have to unpack all ZIP and SAR archives.
Start SAP software installation

For single installations, we recommend using SWPM in graphical mode.
You can start SWPM from the graphical mode of your Linux distro – or you start a VNC-server and connect, or use any
other method which gives you X-Window output.
Following information should be prepared before you start:
1. SAP system ID (SID)
2. SAP instance numbers for ASCS and PAS instances
3. Full qualified hostname
4. Linux UID of <sid>adm user
5. Linux GUI of group sapsys
6. Linux UID of syb<sid> user for Sybase (different for other DBs)
7. Linux UID of sapadm user
8. Passwords for all users
9. SLD connection information (if SLD available)
The UIDs and GIDs can also be auto-chosen by the installer, if you don’t have any preference. If users are already created,
the password and the UIDs are not changed. Only the group assignment is updated if necessary.
The following screenshots show a sample installation on our previously created VM ‘saphost’. We install NetWeaver 7.5
with instance number 00 (PAS) and 01 (ASCS) with Sybase ASE 16 as a central installation (SAP instances and DB on same
host) using the SWPM tool.
Notice the assignment of the mounted filesystems we defined in the section “Define VM disk layout”.
