Symptom
You are using SAP HANA lifecycle manager SPS 07 patch level 01 or
higher and you are trying to update an SAP HANA system whose database is
not running.
Other Terms
SAP HANA lifecycle manager, HLM, SAP HANA system update, SAP HANA system components, Apply Single Support Packages
Reason and Prerequisites
To be able to update a normal SAP HANA system (an SAP HANA
system which is not a part of a high-availability setup and which is not
running in a replication mode), you need its database server up and
running. However, enhancements in SAP HANA lifecycle manager SPS 07
patch level 01 provide a workaround for updating your SAP HANA database
server even if it is stopped.
Solution
We recommend that the SAP HANA database server is up and running when
you are updating a normal SAP HANA system, otherwise,
system inconsistencies may occur after the update. However, if for some
reason you cannot start the database server of such a system, use
the following workaround which allows you to update an SAP HANA database
server while it is stopped:
- In SAP HANA lifecycle manager, start the Apply Single Support Packages task.
- During the update, if you are prompted for them, enter the user name and password for the <SID>adm user.
- Select the proposed software releases.
- When prompted to select the type of the SAP HANA system, select Primary and then follow the instruction in the wizard to complete the task.
The Primary
option is designed to update the components of an SAP HANA system which
is running in a high-availability setup. However, you can use this
option as a workaround for updating a stopped SAP HANA database server.
Note that during the update, SAP HANA content such as SAP HANA SHINE,
SAP HANA EPM Service, SAP HANA INA toolkit, and SAP HANA RDL cannot be
deployed. Be aware that in this scenario you cannot update your SAP HANA
studio repository.
The above workaround is available only for the single SP (applying
single support packages) update scenario. It is not available for the
SPS (applying support package stack) update scenario.
