The creation of the database must be made by the SAP HANA UNIX user, on the machine where SAP HANA is installed. It is assumed that the SAP HANA UNIX user performs the installation steps below.


  1. Create the SAP HANA database instance. The working directory is saphana.

    $ ./saphana_create_instance.sh [<SAP HANA admin user>] [<SAP HANA admin password>]

    If no error occurs, the database creation is now complete and the rest of this section can be ignored.

    Hint!

    After the instance creation script is executed, there will be a log file in the /tmp directory that can be used for troubleshooting. The mz_db.log file contains SAP HANA responses from the database creation. 
  2. If the script fails, clean up the system before the next try:

    • Stop DB (this is needed to drop it):

      hdbsql -i 90 -d SystemDB -u SYSTEM -p QAmzadm1n "ALTER SYSTEM STOP DATABASE MZ"
    • Drop DB:

      hdbsql -i 90 -d SystemDB -u SYSTEM -p QAmzadm1n "DROP DATABASE MZ"

If you require to change any installation parameter defined in the install.xml, the installation must be restarted from the generation step. For further information, see SAP HANA Preparations

Hint!

The SAP HANA audit policy only works for the user ‘SYSTEM’ due to the parameter ‘FOR SYSTEM’. To use a different user, change ‘SYSTEM’ to the desired username. For further information, refer to Auditing Activity in SAP HANA.
