Overview
SAP HANA, an in-memory database, provides two primary backup and restore interfaces: file (including NFS)
and the more intelligent, third-party Backint interface. The StoreOnce Catalyst Plug-in for SAP HANA (SAP
HANA Plug-in) delivers a Backint integration for backing up and restoring SAP HANA instances directly to
StoreOnce Catalyst. The plug-in backs up and restores SAP HANA databases or logs in single server, scale
out cluster, or cloud SAP HANA deployments.
The SAP HANA Plug-in supports StoreOnce Catalyst stores as well as Federated Catalyst stores.

Overview 5
StoreOnce Catalyst
This chapter provides an overview of StoreOnce Catalyst.
IMPORTANT:
For more information, including how to create, edit, and delete StoreOnce Catalyst and Federated
Catalyst stores, see the StoreOnce System user guide for your product.
What is StoreOnce Catalyst?

StoreOnce Catalyst is a StoreOnce function that allows backup applications to:
Back up data to a target store on the StoreOnce System. Deduplication may occur on the media server,
backup/database server, or StoreOnce System.
Copy jobs between StoreOnce Systems. Configuration occurs within the backup application, making
StoreOnce Catalyst an attractive alternative to using the replication function on the StoreOnce System.
Benefits of StoreOnce Catalyst

The backup application is in full control of data for the full lifecycle of the backup data.
The backup application has full visibility of all items and jobs on the StoreOnce System.
Deduplication can occur on either the media server or StoreOnce System which ensures efficient use of
the available bandwidth.
There is no enforced limit on the number of StoreOnce Catalyst items within a store.
Copy jobs are initiated from the application and have none of the complexities of replication mapping.
If StoreOnce Catalyst device types are used, space reclamation is more automated and easier to
implement from within the backup application.
StoreOnce Catalyst Terminology

StoreOnce Catalyst: the name of the StoreOnce interface
StoreOnce Catalyst stores: the targets/device types in which backups are stored on the StoreOnce
System
StoreOnce Catalyst Federated stores: a group of up to eight service sets within the same cluster that
share backup jobs as a federation on the StoreOnce System
StoreOnce Catalyst items: the backup items stored in the StoreOnce Catalyst stores on the StoreOnce
System
StoreOnce Catalyst clients: the generic term for applications that connect using the StoreOnce Catalyst
interface
Data jobs: any backup or restore job
StoreOnce Catalyst Optimized Backups: backups performed on the media server or backup server
(instead of the StoreOnce System) so only unique data is sent to the StoreOnce System using a low
bandwidth transfer protocol. Actual performance varies depending upon the data and disk I/O speeds.
Copy jobs: true copies of the data (not mirror images). The backup application specifies the source store
(outbound copy job) and destination store (inbound copy job). Once copied, the two versions are
independent of each other and either version can be deleted, moved, or added to from the backup
application. The backup application initiates copies. Copy jobs are supported over Ethernet and Fibre
Channel.
StoreOnce Catalyst Optimized Copy: the source and destination stores negotiate so that only unique
data is transferred and the copy job is completed in a bandwidth-efficient manner.

Configuring the StoreOnce System for the SAP
HANA Plug-in
Creating StoreOnce Catalyst and Federated Catalyst stores
Manually create a StoreOnce Catalyst or Federated Catalyst store on your StoreOnce appliance to work with
the SAP HANA Plug-in.
Procedure
1. Log on to the StoreOnce Management Console (StoreOnce GUI) with administrator privileges.
2. Navigate to StoreOnce > StoreOnce Catalyst > Stores.
3. Click Create.
4. If using a StoreOnce B6200, 6500, or 6600 System, select a service set for the new store and click OK. To
create a Federated store, select multiple service sets; these service sets become the Federation
members.
5. Change the store details as appropriate. A table describing the store details can be found in the
StoreOnce Catalyst Stores page section of the StoreOnce System user guide for your product.
a. Name the StoreOnce Catalyst or Federated Catalyst store using a meaningful name.
b. Set the Primary (Default) Transfer Policy to Low Bandwidth or High Bandwidth. If the priority is
network efficiency and offloading processing to the media/backup server, select Low Bandwidth.
6. Click Create. A StoreOnce Catalyst or Federated Catalyst store is created.

7. The store will appear in the top panel indicating the StoreOnce System is configured and ready to accept
backups.
Configuring StoreOnce Catalyst Store Access Control

In setting client access control, two modes can be set on StoreOnce Catalyst stores:
No client credential checking Allows all clients to have access to the StoreOnce Catalyst store.
Client credential checking Allows a select group of client identifiers to have access to the StoreOnce
Catalyst store.
To enable this mode, client access permission checking must be enabled on the StoreOnce > StoreOnce
Catalyst > Settings tab of the StoreOnce GUI. In addition, an individual StoreOnce Catalyst store must
grant access for the client identifier within the Permissions tab of a StoreOnce Catalyst store.
Configuring the StoreOnce System for the SAP HANA Plug-in 7

NOTE:
Access to StoreOnce Catalyst stores is controlled through client identifiers with optional passwords.
When using StoreOnce Catalyst copy operations for "Mirror To Stores" or "Async Copy," the source and
destination StoreOnce Catalyst stores must use identical credentials (client identifier and password).
Failure to do so leads to failed mirror or async copy operations.
Configuring StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel

NOTE:
If using Fibre Channel, consult the HPE Data Availability, Protection and Retention Compatibility Matrix
to ensure that client HBAs, switches, Fibre Channel driver, and firmware versions are supported.
Before configuring StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel, ensure that media/database servers can
communicate with the StoreOnce appliance over a Fibre Channel network. The storage administrator must
ensure that any network segregation, such as zoning, is set up to handle required connectivity between the
server and appliance. See Zoning considerations for more information.
NOTE:
When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel:
Backups and optimized copies are supported on StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel interface
and over Ethernet networks.
Running StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel requires Administrator privileges to access OS-
specific device files associated with StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel devices.
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel functions the same way as standard StoreOnce Catalyst (over
Ethernet); the backup application will not perceive a difference. However, some configuration is required to
set up the backup and restore connections between the ports on the StoreOnce System and the ports on the
client servers. Use the Fibre Channel Settings tab (available within the StoreOnce GUI only if StoreOnce
Catalyst over Fibre Channel is supported).
Initial configuration
Procedure
1. Locate the Identifier at the top of the screen. This Identifier is the Fibre Channel address of the StoreOnce
System and is used to identify the StoreOnce System in the backup application. It is in the format COFC-
<device-id>; you may provide an Identifier Alias to make it easier to identify from the backup
application. This Catalyst over Fibre Channel Identifier is provided to the backup application where an
Ethernet address would otherwise be provided.
2. In the Target Ports section, the default values are recommended. However, you can edit the speed if
necessary.
3. In the Devices section, locate the World Wide Port Name (WWPN) for each port on the StoreOnce
System. The WWPN is required to zone the client with the StoreOnce System. Use this information to
zone your client Fibre Channel ports with your StoreOnce Fibre Channel ports. When making use of
StoreOnce Catalyst Copy over Fibre Channel, both the source/destination initiator and the target devices
must also be zoned to communicate with each other over Fibre Channel. See Zoning considerations for
more information.
4. Important: Locate the Number of Devices per Initiator Port for each port. This value determines the
number of concurrent backup/restore and copy connections allowed from a single client Fibre Channel port
to a single StoreOnce Fibre Channel port, or from a source StoreOnce Fibre Channel port to a destination
StoreOnce Fibre Channel port. The setting applies to all StoreOnce Catalyst supported client operating
8 Configuring StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel

systems (Linux, AIX, HPE-UX, Windows, Solaris), and also applies to StoreOnce Catalyst Copy over Fibre
Channel.
Increase this value if multiple concurrent backup/copy streams are required; the maximum allowed is 256
devices per client Fibre Channel port login. If this value is increased, a device file rescan on the client is
needed before the change is recognized. If the number of devices is reduced, client operating systems will
not delete StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel device files after a rescan. Operating systems will only
clear outdated device files on a reboot.
NOTE:
StoreOnce Catalyst-supported operating systems do not support opening multiple concurrent
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel connections to a target StoreOnce Fibre Channel port by
default. Set the Number of Devices per Login correctly in the StoreOnce GUI so that multiple Fibre
Channel LUNs are presented to the client Fibre Channel port. This setting allows multiple
connections to be opened over Fibre Channel.
The "Number of Devices per Login" also applies to Linux Fibre Channel clients. Failure to set the
"Number of Devices per Login" correctly will result in backup failure due to lack of connectivity until
the configuration is corrected.
The number of paths available from one particular client or source StoreOnce node to a destination
StoreOnce service set is calculated as:
number of a client's ports zoned to a StoreOnce service set * number of
StoreOnce service set ports zoned to that client * devices per initiator count
Table 1: Example relationships between Device per Initiator Port and Number of
Connections
Per Client StoreOnce System Devices per Initiator Number of concurrent

sessions
1
1 port zoned to 4 ports 1 4
2 ports zoned to 4 ports 1 8

1 Per client Fibre Channel port to StoreOnce port relationship, and source StoreOnce port to destination
StoreOnce port for StoreOnce Catalyst copy.
NOTE:
If the backup application or plug-in can open command sessions during a backup or restore, the
number of StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel devices available must be at least one more than
the number of streams.

Zoning considerations
Important: Non-optimal Fibre Channel SAN zoning can lead to a lack of Fibre Channel connectivity. HPE
recommends the following configurations:
Every backup/media server should zone at least two Fibre Channel ports with at least two StoreOnce node
Fibre Channel ports across different Fibre Channel cards, ideally across different SANs. Multiple
connections allow for higher availability. If a connection is broken, StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel
will automatically attempt to connect on a different path without failing the backup. The backup will fail from
a lack of connection only if no paths are available from the media/backup server or to the StoreOnce. The
10 Zoning considerations
same approach should be taken for StoreOnce Catalyst Copy over Fibre Channel zoning of source and
destination copy devices.
When zoning for StoreOnce Catalyst Copy over Fibre Channel, ensure that the source Initiator WWN is
zoned with the destination target WWN, and that the destination Initiator WWN is zoned with the source
target WWN. StoreOnce Catalyst Copy is a two way protocol and both the source and destination must be
able to communicate with each other over Fibre Channel.
Use small Fibre Channel zones limiting the number of Fibre Channel ports in each zone.
When using StoreOnce Federated Catalyst, the backup/media server communicates with each Federation
member directly. Ensure that at least one port belonging to each Federation member node is zoned with
the backup/media server. HPE recommends zoning multiple ports for higher availability and performance.
When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel to StoreOnce 6500 and 6600 appliances, ensure that
a backup/media server is zoned with both StoreOnce nodes in the couplet. On a failover event, the World
Wide Name of the sister node will be used to communicate with both StoreOnce service sets. This is
transparent to the backup application because applications connect using the StoreOnce Catalyst over
Fibre Channel Identifier or alias.
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel does not make use of or rely on any external multi-path drivers.
Connections are balanced using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel internal algorithms. Installed
multi-path drivers are ignored by Catalyst over Fibre Channel.
Client configurations
Once the client has been Fibre Channel zoned with the StoreOnce appliance, there are a number of
considerations for each operating system.
Windows Clients
Administrator permissions are required to run Catalyst over Fibre Channel backups.
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel presents a device type of Processor. In Windows Device Manager,
these devices are shown as Other Devices. After zoning the devices or changing the Number of Devices per
Initiator Port, right-click Other Devices and select Scan for hardware changes to detect the new devices.
Linux Clients
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel presents a device type of Processor. On Linux, these devices files
are created in /dev/sg*. By default, /dev/sg* devices are accessible by root users only. If backups are run
as a non-root user, first grant the backup user permissions to access these device files using a Linux udev
rule.
To create a udev rule:
1. Create a udev file in the following location on every backup server:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-cofc.rules
2. Add the following rule to the file:
KERNEL=="sg[0-9]*", ATTRS{vendor}=="HPE*", ATTRS{model}=="StoreOnce CoFC*",
ATTRS{rev}=="CAT1", GROUP="##CORRECT_USER_GROUP##"
where ##CORRECT_USER_GROUP## is replaced by the Linux user group that will perform backups and
restores. For example, sapsys.
NOTE:
This rule is broken into separate lines to fit the confines of the PDF. Enter the rule as a continuous
line in the udev file.
3. Rescan for Linux device file changes to update the permissions.

The lsscsi --generic command can be used to determine which /dev/sg* device files belong to
Catalyst over Fibre Channel.
Client configurations 11
AIX Clients
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel presents a device type of Sequential on AIX. These device files
are created in /dev/rmt*. After zoning the devices or changing the Number of Devices per Initiator Port,
scan for device file changes by executing the cfgmgr command as a root user.
By default, /dev/rmt* device files are accessible by root users only. Running backups as a non-root user
requires an additional one-time configuration step of running storeonce-cofc-passthrough-
install.sh. This installation script must be run as root and can be found in the backup application
installation bin directory.
When using Catalyst over Fibre Channel from AIX in StoreOnce version 3.14.0 and later, an additional
configuration step is required in the StoreOnce GUI. Find the WWPN of the client AIX Fibre Channel port
and set the Emulation Mode to AIX on the Fibre Channel settings tab. Scan for device file changes by
executing the cfgmgr command as a root user.
HPE-UX Clients
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel presents a device type of Processor. On HPE-UX, these devices
files are created in /dev/pt/ptX. After zoning the devices or changing the Number of Devices per Initiator
Port, scan for device file changes. Execute the ioscan -fnC /dev/pt command as a root user. By
default, /dev/pt/ptX devices are accessible by root users only. If backups are run as a non-root user, first
grant the backup user permissions to access these device files using chmod o+rwx /dev/pt/pt*.
For finer grained permissions, determine which /dev/pt/ptX device files relate to Catalyst over Fibre
Channel using:
/usr/sbin/scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a device_file -a dev_type -a pid | grep
StoreOnce
Then use chmod o+rwx on the appropriate devices.
Solaris Clients
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel presents a device type of Processor. On Solaris, these devices files
are created in /dev/scsi/processor/*. After zoning the devices or changing the Number of Devices per
Initiator Port, scan for device file changes. Execute the following commands as a root user. These operations
will not affect Fibre Channel devices already configured on the Solaris system.
add_drv -vi scsiclass,03 sgen
update_drv -vai scsiclass,03 sgen
12 Configuring the StoreOnce System for the SAP HANA Plug-in

By default, /dev/scsi/processor/* devices are accessible by root users only. If backups are run as a
non-root user, first grant the backup user permissions to access these device files using chmod -R o
+rwx /dev/scsi/processor/*.
For finer grained permissions, determine which /dev/scsi/processor/* device files relate to Catalyst
over Fibre Channel using:
for i in /dev/scsi/processor/*; do echo $i; ls $i; luxadm inq $i | egrep
"Vendor|Product"; echo; done
Then use chmod -R o+rwx on the appropriate devices.

Installing, configuring, and upgrading the SAP
HANA Plug-in
Downloading the SAP HANA Plug-in
Download the SAP HANA Plug-in installer zip file. Find the file at www.hpe.com/storage/StoreOnce/SAP.
Opening the SAP HANA Plug-in installer

IMPORTANT:
To ensure the correct file permissions, download the installer file and install the plug-in using the SAP
HANA operating system user <SID>adm. Do not use root. (If the installer is downloaded using root,
change the ownership and permissions to <SID>adm before installation.)
If the SAP HANA Plug-in is being installed on a SAP HANA system which has previously installed a
Backint plug-in from another vendor, first uninstall the other version of Backint. Ensure the directory
usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/opt does not exist before installing the SAP HANA Plug-in.
During installation, you will be prompted to specify if the backup is over a WAN or a LAN network.
Choose the correct option for your network configuration so the plug-in is optimally configured for
performance.
You will also be prompted to optionally choose a separate Backup target for SAP HANA log backups. If
you wish to Backup log files to an alternate location, provide the StoreOnce Appliance and/or Catalyst
Store details suitably.
Procedure
1. Extract the compressed file using the command tar xvf <file name> to access the installer.sh
file.
2. Run installer.sh.

Setting up Plug-in for a SAP HANA Scale out Cluster

For setting up a HANA scale out with Catalyst plug-in, the following requirements need to be met:
The plug-in and the associated folders and configuration settings need to be visible on all nodes.
Each node should have a private copy of the obfuscated catalyst credentials (since the logic of password
obfuscation ties it down to a local node and a password file generated on one node would not work on
another node).
Setting up a HANA scale out

Procedure
1. Install the plug-in on one of the cluster nodes (as per install instructions for a standalone setup). The plug-
in installs into /hana/shared directory and will be accessible from all the nodes. When specifying the plug-
in configuration file path, edit the file '/hana/shared/<SID>/global/hdb/custom/config/global.ini', and ensure
that the paths for the data and log backup parameter files are set to their absolute paths.
Example:
data_backup_parameter_file = /hana/shared/AM1/hpe/HPE-Catalyst-SAP-HANA-plugin/config/plugin.conf
log_backup_parameter_file=/hana/shared/AM1/hpe/HPE-Catalyst-SAP-HANA-plugin/config/plugin.conf
2. As HANA user <sid>adm, create a local directory on each of the cluster nodes under, /usr/sap/<SID>/
CatalystCredentials.
Example:
/usr/sap/AM1/CatalystCredentials (for am1adm user). The directory thus created should have permissions
for the Database user group (sapsys) and the SID user. This would enable all database users to access
the password file under the CatalystCredentials directory.
Run the StoreOnceCatalystCredentials tool on each of the cluster nodes and save the password file (using
-o option) to a file under the Credentials folder created above.
For more details, see Securing StoreOnce Catalyst Store Credentials.
NOTE:
The name of the password file generated on each of the node should be the same on all nodes (Ex:
password.pss), though each node will have a private copy of the file.
3. Edit the plug-in configuration file to point to the password file stored under the above location,

Securing StoreOnce Catalyst store credentials

A StoreOnce Catalyst store can be access controlled by selectively allowing access to one or more
StoreOnce Catalyst client identifiers validated by a corresponding password against the store. The plug-in
provides a tool to store client credentials on disk in a secure format. The secure file can then be passed as a
parameter to the plug-in via the plug-in configuration file. Example:
CATALYST_CLIENT_PASSWORD_FILE:passwordstore.pss
A command line utility, StoreOnceCatalystCredentials (located in the plug-in bin directory), accepts
an appliance address along with client IDs and passwords to be passed in as parameters. The password is
obfuscated and stored with the user ID against the appliance address in an output file you specify. The
password file location provided in the plug-in configuration file is used by the plug-in to validate access to
StoreOnce Catalyst stores during execution of database application operations.
Uninstalling the SAP HANA Plug-in 23

Table 3: StoreOnceCatalystCredentials utility command options
Option Description
-u, --username StoreOnce Catalyst client ID
-s, --server StoreOnce server address
-c, --config Configuration file path
-a, --add Add a user entry
-e, --edit Edit a user entry
-d, --delete Delete a user entry
-l, --list List all existing user entries
-o, --output Password file path
-v, --version Output the StoreOnceCatalystCredentials utility

version information
-h, --help Print help information to the console
Users are added, not echoed, when specifying user names and passwords on the CLI. Optionally, a
configuration file containing a client identifier can be specified and the utility will prompt for the password
which is then secured and stored in the output password file.
NOTE:
When using secured passwords, you must specify the location of the password file in the plug-in
configuration file.
Passwords specified in plain text will override the use of the password file option. (The
CATALYST_CLIENT_PASSWORD option is now deprecated and is not recommended.)
Options not specified on the command line will be pulled from the configuration file.
24 Uninstalling the SAP HANA Plug-in

Configuring SAP HANA Studio
Before you begin configuring, make sure that the SAP HANA system is added to SAP HANA Studio and you
have access to it from the SAP HANA Studio Systems panel.
NOTE:
You cannot backup, copy, restore, or delete until you successfully complete the following steps.
Procedure
1. On the Systems panel, right-click your system and select Backup and Recovery > Open Backup
Console The following image is displayed:
2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. Expand Backint Settings.
4. The Backint Agent field displays the location of the Backint executable that will be used for backups. The
correct path confirms that SAP HANA has detected the SAP HANA Plug-in.
Configuring SAP HANA Studio 25

IMPORTANT:
If the Backint executable path is not displayed, ensure that the installation was successful on all SAP
HANA nodes.
Also, click Refresh on the Configuration tab.
The SAP HANA Plug-in can co-exist with other Backup application agents such as NetBackup agent.
However, at any given point of time, there can be only one symbolic link to Backint pointing to an
application agent or Plug-in. Therefore, only one application can be used at a time.
For example, a Netbackup agent can be configured as follows:
ln s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/hdbbackint_script /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/
global/hdb/opt/hdbbackint
To use the SAP HANA Catalyst Plug-in again you would need to remove the above symbolic link and
create a new one for the Plug-in:
ln s /hana/shared/<SID>/hp/HP-Catalyst-SAP-HANA-Plugin/bin/
backint /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/opt/hdbbackint
5. In the Data Backup section, in the Backint Parameter File field, enter the location of the configuration file
(the default is /hana/shared/hpe/HPE-Catalyst-SAP-HANA-plugin/config/plugin.conf).
This path is provided in the SAP HANA installation summary.
6. Save the configuration. SAP HANA Studio is now successfully configured.
IMPORTANT:
SAP HANA Backint does not support SAP HANA-managed StoreOnce Catalyst copy. Use the
StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool, located in the bin directory of the SAP HANA Plug-in installation, to
perform StoreOnce Catalyst copy operations. The tool uses the same configuration file used for backup,
restore, and delete operations.
See Performing StoreOnce Catalyst Copy Operations for more information.
IMPORTANT:
You can also perform Log Backups using the SAP HANA Plug-in. Use the Data Backup configuration
file, or create and assign a dedicated Log Backup configuration file within SAP HANA Studio. You can
send Data Backups using Backint and Log backups using file" or both can be backed up using Backint.
26 Configuring SAP HANA Studio

Performing SAP HANA Operations using SAP
HANA Studio
Before beginning a backup, restore, or delete, make sure that you have completed all the steps in
Configuring SAP HANA Studio on page 25.
Beginning with SAP HANA SPS 11, backups greater than 128 GB can with run with multiple streams. To
enable this feature:
Procedure
1. Double click the database instance and navigate to the Configuration tab.
2. Open the global.ini file and locate the backup information.
TIP:
To show only the backup information, enter
parallel_data_backup
in the filter.
3. Right-click the value of parallel_data_backup_backint_channels and change the parallel stream
to the desired number of parallel backup streams. A maximum of 32 streams are allowed.
NOTE:
Set the stream count at the host level only if you are using a multiple-host system.
SAP HANA Full Backups

Procedure
1. On the SAP HANA Studio Systems panel, right-click your system and select Backup and Recovery >
Back up System....
2. Change the Backup Type to Complete Data Backup.
3. Change the Destination Type to Backint. Customize the Backup Prefix field as needed. This prefix can be
used to identify the StoreOnce Catalyst item created during a backup.
4. Click Next. A backup summary is displayed.
5. Click Finish to start the backup. The progress is shown on the screen.
6. At successful completion, the Backup Execution Summary screen is displayed. The SAP HANA system is
now backed up to the StoreOnce System using Backint.
Delta Backups
Delta backups are data backups supported from SPS 10 and onwards. They can be differential or incremental
backups:
Differential backup backs up all changes from the last full backup. They are slower (except when
performed for the first time) than incremental backups but have a faster recovery time.
Incremental backup only backs up changes from the last backup (full or delta). Incremental backups
consume less space than differential backups.
Performing SAP HANA Operations using SAP HANA Studio 27

Running Delta Backups
Procedure
1. In HANA Studio, right-click the database instance.
2. Navigate to Backup and Recovery > Back Up System.
3. In the Specify Backup Settings window, select Differential Data Backup or Incremental Data Backup

operations, the location specified here will not point to the StoreOnce Catalyst store.
6. Click Next.
7. SAP HANA will list the available data backups.
8. Select the backup to be restored, and click Check Availability to see if the backup is available on the
StoreOnce appliance.
NOTE:
Click Show More if you do not see the required backup in the list.
9. With the desired backup selected, click Next.
10. In the Check Availability of Log Backups section, select Third-Party Backup Tool (Backint) and change
other settings as needed.
11. Click Next. The screen displays a review of the settings.
12. Click Finish. A progress screen is displayed.
13. When the process is complete, the SAP HANA system will automatically restart and will be restored to
the selected backup from the StoreOnce Catalyst store.
28 Running Delta Backups

NOTE:
For a recovery from backups that were multi-streamed, SAP HANA automatically uses the same
number of channels for the recovery that were used for the backup. SAP HANA does not check the
value of the parameter
parallel_data_backup_backint_channels
. The backup catalog shows all the parts of a multistreamed backup and SAP HANA can recover these
parts in any order.
With StoreOnce software versioin 3.15 and later, copies of backups and restores can be run in parallel.
IMPORTANT:
To restore from a StoreOnce Catalyst copy, you must modify the CATALYST_STORE_ADDRESS and
CATALYST_STORE_NAME parameters in your plug-in configuration file. Modifying the copy-specific
parameters is not enough when doing a restore because the CATALYST_STORE_ADDRESS and
CATALYST_STORE_NAME parameters are used to determine the location of the Catalyst backups.
Resuming restore operations

The restore operation restores the HANA data and log backups and recovers the database. If the restore was
interrupted during a log recovery, restart it from the same point using the Resume option (available with SPS
11 and later).
Intelligent Restore Auto Restore of backups using disaster

recovery copies
When a restore operation is initiated via SAP HANA and if the primary backup site is inaccessible/unavailable
or the backup is missing/deleted, the plug-in will seamlessly redirect the restore to an alternate disaster
recovery site listed in the plug-in configuration file. The restore can then be completed from the redundant
copy of the backup. The Intelligent Restore feature is enabled by default in the plug-in configuration file using
CATALYST_RESTORE_AUTOREDIRECT:ENABLE.
This feature is useful if, for example, the primary backup is disabled. Administrators can restore the database
from an offline copy.
NOTE:
The CATALYST_RESTORE_AUTOREDIRECT:ENABLE parameter:
Is required for restoring from alternate backups from disaster recovery sites.
Can be used to turn off Auto restore (by setting it to DISABLE) if you prefer not to trigger a redirect of
the restore by default. For example, if the the remote StoreOnce is connected over a low bandwidth
link and you do not want a slow restore to initiate automatically.
SAP HANA Deletes

Procedure
Open Backup Console.
2. Click the Backup Catalog tab. A list of previous backups is displayed.
3. Right-click the backup to be deleted and select Delete Data Backup to delete an individual backup or
Delete Older Backups to delete all previous backups.
Resuming restore operations 29

4. Select Catalog and Backup Location (recommended) to delete the catalog entry and the StoreOnce
Catalyst backup objects in the StoreOnce Catalyst store, then check File System and/or Third-Party
Backup Tool (Backint). Selecting Catalog does not delete the StoreOnce Catalyst items from the
StoreOnce Catalyst store.
NOTE:
To delete log or delta backups, right-click on a full backup and select Delete older Backups. All
earlier backups (including full, delta, and log backups) will be deleted.
5. Click Next. The Review Backup Deletion Settings screen is displayed.
6. Click Finish. A confirmation screen is displayed.
7. Click OK to confirm the deletion. The catalog entry, and the associated backup items in the StoreOnce
Catalyst store if applicable, are now deleted.
NOTE:
Deleting a backup does not delete the copies made using the StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool; use the
same tool to delete StoreOnce Catalyst copied items.
See Performing StoreOnce Catalyst Copy Operations on page 36 for more information.
30 Performing SAP HANA Operations using SAP HANA Studio

Using SAP HANA CLI
Configuring SAP HANA CLI

By default, the SAP HANA Plug-in uses the plugin.conf file for all operations. If the plug-in was installed in
the default location, this file is located in /hana/shared/<SID>/hpe/HPE-Catalyst-SAP-HANA-
plugin/config. To change the configuration file that is used by the SAP HANA CLI to perform all
operations, you must edit the global.ini file in one of the following locations:
/hana/shared/<SID>/global/hdb/custom/config/global.ini
/hana/install/<SID>/global/hdb/custom/config/global.ini
The file includes lines for the data_backup_parameter_file and log_backup_parameter_file
parameters. For example:
[backup]
data_backup_parameter_file = <config file path>
log_backup_parameter_file = <config file path>
If these lines are not already in the file, add them and then change the data_backup_parameter_file
and log_backup_parameter_file parameters to the desired location of the SAP HANA Plug-in
configuration file. The default location of the plugin.conf file is: /hana/shared/HN1/hpe/HPE-
Catalyst-SAS-HANA-plugin/config/plugin.conf.
For more information, see the SAP article Customer-Specific Configuration Files.
NOTE:
If you are using the CLI for the first time on this server, set the configuration file location to the default
location because the location might not have already been configured.
Performing SAP HANA Backup operations

Use the following command and add options/filters as needed:
hdbsql -n <host> -i <instance number> -u <user_name> -p <password> "BACKUP DATA
USING BACKINT (<backint location + backup prefix/tag>')"
For example:
hdbsql -n hanasystem.gbr.hpe.com -i 00 -u SYSTEM -p mypassword "BACKUP DATA
USING BACKINT ('/usr/sap/HN1/SYS/global/hdb/backint/first_backup')"
For more information, see the SAP article Perform a Complete Data Backup (SQL Statements) located here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_hanaplatform/helpdata/en/c5/25379bbb571014a389f09d291909a5/
content.htm
Extracting the Backup ID of SAP HANA backup

The backup ID is required to performing a restore, cancel, or to check backups. To display the backup ID,
execute the following command:
hdbsql -n <host> -i <instance number> -u <user_name> -p <password> " SELECT
BACKUP_ID FROM M_BACKUP_CATALOG WHERE ENTRY_TYPE_NAME = 'complete data backup'
ORDER BY SYS_START_TIME DESC"
Using SAP HANA CLI 31

Examples:
To get the backup ID of all running backups:
hdbsql -n hanasystem.gbr.hpe.com -i 00 -u SYSTEM -p mypassword "SELECT
AND STATE_NAME = 'running' ORDER BY SYS_START_TIME DESC"
To get the backup ID of all existing backups:
hdbsql -n hanasystem.gbr.hpe.com -i 00 -u SYSTEM -p mypassword "SELECT
ORDER BY SYS_START_TIME DESC"
Cancelling SAP HANA Backup

NOTE:
Canceling a backup requires the backup ID.
A cancel operation can take a long time to complete.
Use the following command:

hdbsql -n <host> -i <instance number> -u <user_name> -p <password> "BACKUP
CANCEL <backup ID>"
For example:
hdbsql -n hanasystem.gbr.hpe.com -i 00 -u SYSTEM -p mypassword "BACKUP CANCEL
1429868930854"

IMPORTANT:
To restore from a StoreOnce Catalyst copy, you must modify the CATALYST_STORE_ADDRESS and
CATALYST_STORE_NAME parameters in your plug-in configuration file. Modifying the copy-specific
parameters is not enough when doing a restore because the CATALYST_STORE_ADDRESS and
CATALYST_STORE_NAME parameters are used to determine the location of the Catalyst backups.
Performing SAP HANA delete operations

You can delete a specific backup or all backups that came before the one you specify.
NOTE:
Verify that a backup exists before attempting to delete it.
Delete a specific backup:

hdbsql -n <host> -i <instance number> -u <user_name> -p <password> BACKUP
CATALOG DELETE BACKUP_ID <backup ID> [COMPLETE]"
For example:
hdbsql -n hanasystem.gbr.hpe.com -i 00 -u SYSTEM -p mypassword "BACKUP CATALOG
DELETE BACKUP_ID 1430230790389 COMPLETE"
Delete all backups prior to a specific one (does not delete the one
specified): hdbsql -n <host> -i <instance number> -u <user_name> -p <password>
"BACKUP CATALOG DELETE ALL BEFORE BACKUP_ID <backup ID> [COMPLETE]"
For example:
hdbsql -n hanasystem.gbr.hpe.com -i 00 -u SYSTEM -p HPE1nv3nt "BACKUP CATALOG
DELETE ALL BEFORE BACKUP_ID 1430231552343 COMPLETE"
NOTE:
Use the COMPLETE option to delete the backup from both the server and the catalog. To delete the
backup from the catalog only, omit the COMPLETE option.
For more information, see the SAP article SQL Statements for Deleting Backups from the Backup Catalog.

Performing StoreOnce Catalyst Copy Operations
NOTE:
SAP HANA does not support managed copy. Use the StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool provided to
manage disaster recovery copies.
If you have configured Data and Log Backups to be backed up to separate Backup targets (StoreOnce
Appliance/Catalyst Store), ensure you run the StoreOnceCatalystCopy utility twice when making copies
of the Backup:
1. Once for copying over SAP HANA Database files (Data Backup) and
2. Once for copying over the transaction logs(Log Backups)
So that you have a working set of the Backups for Disaster Recovery (DR). Copying Only Data Backups
and ignoring the Log Backups can render your DR copy unusable and potentially lead to situations
where the SAP HANA database is unrecoverable in the event of loss of primary Backup set.
SAP HANA does not implement expiration of backups. Use the StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool provided
to manage backup retention periods.
Before running the StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool, make sure that you configured your source and destination
store details in the configuration file either during the installation process or by manually editing the
configuration file.
The executable file StoreOnceCatalystCopy is located in the bin directory of the SAP HANA Plug-in
installation on the SAP HANA appliance; if you used the default installation path, the directory location is: /
hana/shared/<SID>/hpe/HPE-Catalyst-SAP-HANA-plugin/bin.
NOTE:
By default, the source and destination StoreOnce Catalyst store details are read from the
plugin.conf file located in the config folder. This file can be modified. See Performing StoreOnce
Catalyst Copy Operations.
When StoreOnce Catalyst client credential checking is enabled, the source and destination StoreOnce
Catalyst stores must use the same StoreOnce Catalyst credentials r to initiate a StoreOnce Catalyst
copy.
The StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool supports the following operations:

can be provided to limit the number of copies that are queued in parallel.
IMPORTANT:
The StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool uses the configuration file plugin.conf to determine the source
and destination information. These details can be overridden on the command line or by providing the
tool with the name of a different configuration file.
Performing StoreOnce Catalyst Copy Operations 39

Automating the Use of the StoreOnce Catalyst Copy Tool
The StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool can be run in a number of ways:
Run StoreOnceCatalystCopy manually at the command line.
Automated via Linux/UNIX Crontab or Windows scheduled task.
Using Linux/UNIX Crontab or Windows scheduled task, StoreOnceCatalystCopy can be scheduled
based on needs.
For instance, if performing log backups to StoreOnce you can create a schedule to copy new logs every
30 minutes, every hour, etc. Use the same approach for scheduled data backups.
IMPORTANT:
Run the StoreOnce Catalyst Copy tool soon after performing a data backup. In cases where multiple
data backups are copied in one operation, deduplicaton ratios can be lower compared to copying them
sequentially. If copying many data backups in one operation, use the --limit-copies parameter of
StoreOnceCatalysCopy to limit the number of parallel copy jobs.
NOTE:
If you have configured SAP HANA database and transaction logs to be backed up to separate Backup
targets(StoreOnce Appliance/Catalyst Store), ensure you run the StoreOnceCatalystCopy utility twice
when making copies of the Backup,
1. Once for copying over SAP HANA Database files (Data Backup) and
2. Once for copying over the transaction logs (Log Backups)
So that you have a full working set of the Backups for Disaster Recovery (DR). Copying over only Data
Backups and ignoring the log Backups can render your DR copy unusable and potentially lead to
situations where the SAP HANA database is unrecoverable in the event of loss of primary Backup set.

42 Troubleshooting
Best practices
SAP HANA Plug-in

StoreOnce Catalyst Best Practices
Do not delete backup Catalyst items (backups) directly from the StoreOnce GUI. Instead, use the backup
application to expire the backup items. Using the backup application ensures application consistency.
Target similar data types to dedicated StoreOnce Catalyst stores and avoid mixing datatypes within a
StoreOnce Catalyst store. Backups of differing data types, such as two different database types, will
deduplicate against each other very little. Separating different data types into separate StoreOnce Catalyst
stores reduces the store complexity leading to optimum long-term performance.
When performing low bandwidth StoreOnce Catalyst backups, spread the number of backup sessions
across multiple media servers where possible. Distributing the streams across multiple media servers
reduces the possibility of a media server becoming a performance bottleneck.
Where possible, split a backup session into multiple backup streams. Allowing StoreOnce to process
multiple backups streams in parallel will increase backup performance.
When using ProLiant media servers and database servers for low bandwidth StoreOnce Catalyst, enable
HPE Static High Performance Mode via the ProLiant Power Management settings for the best backup
performance. This setting is not the default.
Enable StoreOnce Catalyst client permission checking on each StoreOnce service set to ensure that client
data access is restricted.
When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel, ensure the Number of Devices per Login is set
appropriately for StoreOnce Catalyst Copy, Windows, Linux, HPE-UX, AIX, and Solaris media servers and
database servers. See Initial configuration for details.
When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel, ensure that the correct access permissions have
been set on the StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel client device files, if running as a non-root or non-
administrator user. See Client configurations for details.
To ensure the backup application and the Fibre Channel (if applicable) configuration being used is
supported, refer to the HPE Data Availability, Protection and Retention Compatibility Matrix.
Ensure StoreOnce Catalyst client log levels are set to the default ERROR log level for optimum
performance.
When performing backups with StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel or StoreOnce Catalyst Ethernet
backups over LAN, StoreOnce Catalyst compression and checksums can be set to DISABLED via the
backup application configuration file. If performing StoreOnce Catalyst Ethernet backups over WAN,
Catalyst compression and checksums must be ENABLED (the default) via the backup application (plug-in)
configuration file.
If using StoreOnce Federated Catalyst, consider that backups to StoreOnce Federated Catalyst stores will
capacity balance across the available Federated storage. Therefore, a StoreOnce service set running a
VTL or NAS shares as well as a StoreOnce Federated Catalyst store will lead to an imbalanced Federated
Catalyst store. Federated Catalyst is most suited to StoreOnce Federated configurations only.
When configuring a backup application to use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) address for a
StoreOnce, ensure that the FQDN is fully registered with a Domain Name Server; do not use local host file
entries. This is important when making use of StoreOnce Catalyst Copy jobs because the source
StoreOnce appliance will use the FQDN to communicate directly with the target StoreOnce appliance.
Using local client host file entries will result in the source StoreOnce appliance not being able to resolve
the target FQDN address.
