1 Installing SAP HANA 2.0, express edition
(Virtual Machine Method)

Installing the VM image is the simplest SAP HANA 2.0, express edition setup for compatible Windows, OS X,
and Linux machines.

Disclaimer

SAP HANA 2.0, express edition is officially supported on SLES. SAP Community members have been
successful in running SAP HANA, express edition on other Linux operating systems that are not formally
supported by SAP, such as Ubuntu, openSUSE and Fedora. SAP is not committing to resolving any issues that
may arise from running SAP HANA, express edition on these platforms.

You Will Learn

You will learn how to download the VM image of SAP HANA 2.0, express edition, install the image on your
laptop, and get started.

Important Changes in SAP HANA 2.0, express edition

If you're familiar with the older 1.0 SPS 12 version, note this important change:

● The instance number has changed from 00 to 90.

1.1 What is the Virtual Machine Installation Method?

The SAP HANA 2.0, express edition VM package is platform-independent; you can install it to a Windows, OS
X, or Linux machine, provided your host machine meets the storage and memory prerequisites. Choose this
installation method if you want the simplest setup.

The Virtual Machine method installs:

● A VM running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for SAP Applications 12 SP2.
● An SAP HANA 2.0, express edition instance on the VM, preconfigured and ready to start.

For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting [page 61].

1.2 Machine Requirements

Check if your machine has the recommended hardware to successfully install and run the SAP HANA 2.0,
express edition VM image.

Software

Java Runtime Environment 8 The Download Manager requires Java SE Runtime Environ­
ment 8 (JRE 8) or higher.

Note
If you are planning to use the SAP HANA, express edition Download Manager for Windows or Linux, you
need the 64-bit JRE. If you are planning to use the platform-independent Download Manager, you can use
either the 32- or 64-bit JRE.

Hardware

RAM Server plus applications virtual machine:

● 16 GB RAM minimum. 24 GB RAM recommended.

Server-only virtual machine:

● 8 GB RAM minimum. (If you add additional compo­

nents, or run heavy processing loads, you will need to
increase your RAM.)

HDD 120 GB HDD recommended.

Cores 2 cores (4 recommended).

Hardware Virtualization (Intel processors only) For Intel processors, virtualization is

a BIOS setting known as either Intel Virtualization Technol­
ogy or Intel VT. Go to Determine If Your Processor Supports
Intel Virtualization Technology to determine if your pro­
cessor is capable of supporting virtualization. If virtualiza­
tion is turned off on your virtualization-capable machine,
consult documentation from your machine vendor on how
to enable virtualization technology (or Intel VT) in the BIOS.

edition (Virtual Machine Method)

Once you've downloaded the SAP HANA 2.0, express edition Virtual Machine package, start the server, change
the default passwords to secure your system, and connect using client tools.

2.1 Start SAP HANA 2.0, express edition

Start the server and change the default passwords to secure your system.

Procedure

1. Start the hypervisor and power on (or click Play on) your express edition VM.
2. At the hxehost login prompt, enter hxeadm

Tip
You can also log in remotely. The IP address of the VM is displayed on the welcome screen.

3. For Password, enter the temporary password HXEHana1

4. When prompted for current (UNIX) password, enter the temporary password again: HXEHana1

5. When prompted for New password, enter a strong password with at least 8 characters. If your password
is not strong enough, the system logs you off and you must log in again.

Getting Started with SAP HANA 2.0, express edition (Virtual Machine Method)
16 PUBLIC Start Using SAP HANA 2.0, express edition (Virtual Machine Method)
 Tip
SAP HANA, express edition requires a very strong password that complies with these rules:
○ At least 8 characters
○ At least 1 uppercase letter
○ At least 1 lowercase letter
○ At least 1 number
○ Can contain special characters, but not @ (at sign), # (number sign), $ (dollar sign), % (percent),
^ (caret), & (ampersand), * (asterisk), = (equal sign), + (plus), [ ] (brackets), { }
(braces), < (less than), > (greater than), | (vertical bar), \ (backslash), ' (single quote), "
(double quotes), or ` (backtick)
○ Cannot contain dictionary words
○ Cannot contain simplistic or systematic values, like strings in ascending or descending numerical or
alphabetical order

Strong password example: E15342GcbaFd. Do not use this password example, since it is public and not
secure. This example is for illustrative purposes only and must not be used on your system. Define your
own strong password.
6. When prompted to Retype new password, enter your strong password again.

7. When prompted for New HANA database master password, enter a strong password. Make a note of this
password, since you'll need it later. You can enter the same password you used in step 5, or a new
password. If you are entering a new password, see the password rules in step 5.

Entering the HANA database master password changes the SYSTEM user password. If you are installing
the server + applications virtual machine, it also changes the XSA_ADMIN and XSA_DEV user passwords.
8. When prompted to Confirm “HANA database master password”, enter the strong password again.

9. (Server + applications virtual machine only) When prompted Do you need to use the proxy server to
access the internet? enter Y or N.

○ Contact your IT administrator for your company’s proxy settings. If you are inside a corporate firewall,
you might use a proxy for connecting to http and https servers.
○ If Y, enter your proxy host name, proxy port number, and (if desired) a comma-separated list of hosts
that do not need a proxy. Proxy host name needs a fully qualified domain name.

10 (Optional) Installing Clients

Install the clients if you intend to develop XS applications on a machine that will not have a local SAP HANA
2.0, express edition installation.

The clients let you access SAP HANA 2.0, express edition from your client machine.

You can install the clients on the SAP HANA 2.0, express edition server during server installation, but this how-
to assumes you are installing the clients on a different machine than the machine where SAP HANA 2.0,
express edition is installed.

This how-to refers to the laptop with SAP HANA 2.0, express edition as the server machine, and your local
machine as the client machine.

10.1 Download the Clients

Install the Download Manager to your client machine and download the client package.

Prerequisites

The Download Manager requires Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment 8 (JRE 8) or higher, 64-bit, on your
client machine.

Procedure

1. .Save the Download Manager installation file to your client machine and open it. For instructions on
downloading and running the Download Manager, see Installing SAP HANA 2.0, express edition (Virtual
Machine Method) [page 4].
2. In Download Manager, in the Image pull-down, select either Virtual Machine or Binary Installer.
3. Click Browse and select a directory where your client package will be saved.
4. Select only Clients. The clients_<OS>.tgz file, or clients_windows.zip for Windows, downloads to
your save directory.
5. Extract the compressed clients file.
○ For Windows and Mac machines, use a compression utility.
○ For Linux and PowerPC, navigate to the directory in which you wish to extract the client files and use
the tar command.

10.2 Installing XS CLI Client

You can use the XS command line client to perform a wide variety of developer- and administrator-related
tasks.

For example, in the role of a developer, you can use the XS CLI to connect to the XS advanced run time
installed on the server machine, log on as a specific user, and deploy and manage your applications.

10.2.1 XS CLI Client Prerequisites

Ensure that you have access to an installation of SAP HANA 2.0, express edition with XS advanced installed.

● XS advanced is installed on the SAP HANA 2.0, express edition machine (the server host).
● You have access to the internet from your client machine.
● You have log-on access to the SAP HANA 2.0, express edition database with the privileges to create SAP
HANA users (for example: SYSTEM).

10.2.2 Install the XS CLI Client
Install the command line client for XS advanced on your client machine.

Context

In this procedure, you learn how to use the XS CLI client to connect to SAP HANA.

Procedure

1. Using a compression utility, extract either [Link].client_ntamd64.zip for

Windows, [Link].client_darwinintel64.zip for Mac,
[Link].client_linuxx86_64.zip for Linux, or
[Link].client_linuxppc64le.zip for PowerPC. The system will create this folder:
[Link].client_<version>.
2. Check that the XS advanced run time is installed and available on the server machine. Enter the following
URL in your Web browser: [Link]

For example, the SAP HANA instance "90" on the host [Link]: [Link]
39030/v2/info.

The response displayed in the Web browser is a JSON string with details that indicate a successful
connection to the XSA controller. This connection test is important as you want to make sure the
connection exists before you attempt it from within the API command.
3. Check that the XS client for XS advanced is installed and available. The XS client tools are required to
connect to the XS advanced run time on SAP HANA and deploy your XS advanced applications. On your
client machine, open a command window and run the following commands:

xs help
xs -v

Note
Linux users should run this command as <sid>adm.

If you see output indicated Client version, XS is installed.

4. Connect to the XS advanced controller on the SAP HANA 2.0, express edition server. Specify the URL of
the API end point on the SAP HANA server you want to connect to:

xs api [Link]

Note
This command may fail due to a missing SSL certificate. This note shows you how to set up a certificate
on the client so it can connect to the server. Copy the correct certificate to your client from the SAP
HANA 2.0, express edition server.

Getting Started with SAP HANA 2.0, express edition (Virtual Machine Method)
(Optional) Installing Clients PUBLIC 49
 Open a command session on the server machine or open a PuTTY session to the server machine. From
the command prompt, login as sudo and navigate to the certificate. The certificate
[Link] is typically located here: <installation_path>/<SID>/xs/
controller_data/controller/ssl-pub/router

For example where <installation_path> is /hana/shared and <SID> is HDB

/hana/shared/HDB/xs/controller_data/controller/ssl-pub/router/
[Link]

Copy the certificate to a folder on the server where you can easily access it. Using an FTP client or the
scp command, send a copy of the certificate from your server machine to a safe location on your client
machine.

FTP example:

/<path>/[Link]

scp example:

scp <server_machine_user>@<ip_address_server>:<file_destination>/
[Link]
<client_machine_user>@<client_machine_user>@<ip_address_client>:<your_desire
d_filepath>/

Exit your FTP and PuTTY sessions and return to your client machine. Try the previous command again,
but use the -cacert command and specify the local certificate you just copied.

xs api [Link] -cacert "<copied_filepath>/

[Link]"

5. From the client machine, log on the XS advanced run time. You log on to the SAP HANA instance specified
in the API end point set in a previous step. SAP HANA provides a default user XSA_ADMIN with
administrator permissions; you can use this user ID to test the login. However, it is recommended to
create a new user with more limited permissions, which you can use to log on for developer tasks.

xs login -u XSA_ADMIN -p "<password>"

Note
The password is assigned to the XSA_ADMIN user during SAP HANA 2.0, express edition installation.

6. Test your connection to XSA. Run the following command to view XS applications on the SAP HANA 2.0,
express edition server.

11.1 Backups

Make regular data backups to save your work.

For information on data backup, recovery, and log file growth, see the SAP HANA Administration Guide.

11.2 Deactivate the SYSTEM user

SYSTEM is the database superuser and is not intended for day-to-day activities in production systems. For
better security, you can create other database users with only the privileges that they require for their tasks
(for example, user administration), then deactivate the SYSTEM user.

Procedure

1. In a terminal, log in as the hxeadm user:

sudo su -l hxeadm

2. Create a new admin user with the USER ADMIN system privilege:

/usr/sap/HXE/HDB90/exe/hdbsql -i 90 -d SystemDB -u SYSTEM -p "<SYSTEM-

password>" "CREATE USER <admin-username> PASSWORD <admin-password> NO
FORCE_FIRST_PASSWORD_CHANGE;"
/usr/sap/HXE/HDB90/exe/hdbsql -i 90 -d SystemDB -u SYSTEM -p "<SYSTEM-
password>" "GRANT USER ADMIN TO <admin-username> WITH ADMIN OPTION;"

3. Use the new admin user to deactivate the SYSTEM user:

/usr/sap/HXE/HDB90/exe/hdbsql -i 90 -d SystemDB -u <admin-username> -p

"<admin-password>" "ALTER USER SYSTEM DEACTIVATE USER NOW;"

11.3 Set the Global Memory Allocation Limit

Set how much memory SAP HANA, express edition utilizes by modifying the global_allocation_limit
parameter in the [Link] file.

The unit for global_allocation_limit is MB. The default value is 0, which sets the maximum memory to
the minimum of your machine limit and license limit. If the machine size is less than 16 GB, the maximum
memory is set to 16 GB.

If you set global_allocation_limit to a non-zero value, SAP HANA, express edition will use that value as
maximum memory.

Note
Do not set global_allocation_limit to a value above the limit of your license. This can cause database
lockdown.

14 Troubleshooting

14.1 Virtual Machine: Checking Resource Usage

Issue: You are having memory issues on your VM and want to check resource usage.

Solution: If you have HANA studio, right-click on the system and select Configuration and Monitoring
Open Administration and check the Overview and Landscape tabs for anything in red.

If you don't have HANA studio, run the following queries in hdbsql to view SAP HANA resource usage:

select service_name, round(effective_allocation_limit/1024/1024/1024, 1) as

MemLimit,
round(total_memory_used_size/1024/1024/1024,1) as MemUsed from m_service_memory;

If the MemUsed is close to the MemLimit, you may encounter problems allocating memory.

Alternatively, you can run the Linux free command at the command line to see free resources:

free -g

The key number is in the second row (-/+ buffers/cache) in the free column. If this number is low (e.g. 0 GB),
you may have run out of memory when performing your recent operation.

You can also run the following command to see if you are running out of disk space on the VM's file system:

df -h

Look for the Use% for the /dev/sda1 file system. If it is down to just a few GB, you may have run out of disk
space when performing your recent operation.

14.2 SAP HANA XS Applications Run Error

Issue: You are trying to run an SAP HANA service on your SAP HANA 2.0, express edition installation and are
receiving an error.

Solution: Log in to your SAP HANA 2.0, express edition as <sid>adm:

sudo su -l <sid>adm

Check which services are enabled on your machine:

xs apps

Getting Started with SAP HANA 2.0, express edition (Virtual Machine Method)
Troubleshooting PUBLIC 61
This operation may take 1-2 minutes to return the list of apps. You should see the following:

If the service you're trying to use is shown as STOPPED, start it:

xs start <app>

It may take a few minutes for the system to get started. Run xs apps again to see if the app has started and
that under instances the app shows 1/1.

14.3 Download Manager Shows Error "Failed to concatenate

downloaded files"

Issue: You are downloading packages using the Download Manager. The Status area and Progress Detail area
show the error Failed to concatenate downloaded files.

Solution:

1. Check the log file for details. The log file is in the temp directory:
○ Linux: /tmp/hxedm[yymmdd].log
○ Windows: %TEMP%\hxedm_[yymmdd].log
2. If the log indicates a simple issue such as lack of disk space or file permissions, fix the problem and
download again.
3. If the problem is less obvious, do the following:
○ Go to the Save directory. Delete all downloaded files, including incomplete download files. Download
again
or
○ Change the Save directory. Download again.
