1. SAP host agent
2. SAP HANA DB
3. HDB Client
4. LM Structure (optional)

• SAP Host Agent

SAP host agent is new approach from SAP and should be installed on all machines related to SAP landscape. It is used for example by ACC (Adaptive Computing Controller) to manage the system. It is also used by SUM to do the automatic updates.

neutron:~ # rpm -i saphostagentrpm_xx-xxxxxxx.rpm

• HDB Studio Repository

Eclipse framework is allowing to updates from central server. This repository is the code that is distributed to the end users to update Studio to higher revision.

• SAP HANA DB

   Extract the File

neutron:~ # sarcar -xvf IMDB_SERVER100_21-xxxxxxx.sar

   cd to the extracted "SAP_HANA_DATABASE" folder and grant permissions

neutron:-/SAP_HANA_DATABASE # chmod -R +x *

   The installation can be done in graphical mode by

neutron:-/SAP_HANA_DATABASE # hdbsetup

   or in command line mode by 

neutron:-/SAP_HANA_DATABASE # hdbinst

   Optionally use "hdbinst -a server"
