Veritas NetBackup™ for SAP Administrator's Guide

Node level configuration

The Database Instance installation creates a directory /usr/sap/<SID> containing links to the installation directory.

So the path /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/opt/hdbbackint is the same on each HANA installation, independent of the hardware vendor.

  • Manually create a node_names.txt file under /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sap.

    This file should contain all probable client names (appliance node), one name per line.

    For example:

    The SAP HANA admin should update this file whenever a new node is added or removed from the appliance.

    Using the root user, give +r permissions to the newly created file node_names.txt on every client (appliance node).

  • Create a link from SAP HANA's hdbbackint to hdbbackint_script script instead of NetBackup's hdbbackint binary.

    ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/hdbbackint_script /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/opt/hdbbackint

    Note:

    If the opt directory is not present, at /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdblocation, you must create it and then create a hdbbackint link as mentioned above.

The HANA DB Master node triggers the backups on all the nodes.
