## Summary

This repository contains deployable architecture solutions that help in deploying Power Virtual Server for SAP HANA solutions. The solutions are available in the IBM Cloud Catalog and can also be deployed without the catalog, except for a few solutions.



### IBM catalog solutions that require a Schematics workspace ID of [Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone](https://cloud.ibm.com/catalog/architecture/deploy-arch-ibm-pvs-inf-2dd486c7-b317-4aaa-907b-42671485ad96-global)

1. [IBM catalog PowerVS SAP Ready variation](https://github.com/terraform-ibm-modules/terraform-ibm-powervs-sap/tree/main/solutions/ibm-catalog/sap-ready-to-go)

    - Creates and configures **one HANA instance and zero to several NetWeaver instances** with **RHEL or SLES OS** distribution. Creates a private subnet for SAP communication for the entire landscape.

    - Optionally configures OS network management services (NTP, NFS, and DNS services) using Ansible Galaxy Collection from [IBM](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/ibm/power_linux_sap/): `power_linux_sap`

    - Additionally tunes the instances according to SAP's best practices, which are fully ready for hosting SAP applications.

2. [IBM catalog PowerVS S/4HANA or BW/4HANA variation](https://github.com/terraform-ibm-modules/terraform-ibm-powervs-sap/tree/main/solutions/ibm-catalog/sap-s4hana-bw4hana)

    - Creates and configures **one HANA instance and one NetWeaver instance** with **RHEL** OS distribution. Creates a private subnet for SAP communication for the entire landscape.

    - Optionally configures OS network management services (NTP, NFS, and DNS services) using Ansible Galaxy Collection from [IBM](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/ibm/power_linux_sap/): `power_linux_sap`

    - Tunes the instances according to SAP's best practices.

    - Downloads user-provided preloaded SAP Installation binaries from IBM Cloud Object Storage Bucket.

    - Installs and configures **SAP applications** (SAP HANA DB, SAP S4/HANA, SAP BW4/HANA) using [RHEL System Roles](https://access.redhat.com/articles/4488731): `sap_hana_install`, `sap_swpm`,`sap_general_preconfigure`, `sap_hana_preconfigure`, `sap_netweaver_preconfigure`



### Solutions independent of IBM Cloud prerequisite Schematics workspace ID:

1. [PowerVS SAP Ready variation](https://github.com/terraform-ibm-modules/terraform-ibm-powervs-sap/tree/main/solutions/sap-ready-to-go)

   - Creates and configures **one HANA instance and zero to several NetWeaver instances** with **RHEL or SLES OS** distribution. Creates a private subnet for SAP communication for the entire landscape

   - Optionally configures OS network management services (NTP, NFS, and DNS services) using Ansible Galaxy collection from [IBM](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/ibm/power_linux_sap/)

   - Additionally tunes the instances according to SAP's best practices, which is fully ready for hosting SAP applications.

2. [End-to-End Solution](https://github.com/terraform-ibm-modules/terraform-ibm-powervs-sap/tree/main/solutions/e2e)

    - Creates a [Power Virtual Server with vpc landing zone](https://github.com/terraform-ibm-modules/terraform-ibm-powervs-infrastructure/tree/main/modules/powervs-vpc-landing-zone) which creates a VPC Infrastructure and PowerVS infrastructure. Installs and configures the Squid Proxy, DNS Forwarder, NTP forwarder, and NFS as a service on hosts, and sets the host as the server for the NTP, SQUID proxy and DNS services by using Ansible Galaxy Collection from [IBM](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/ibm/power_linux_sap/): `power_linux_sap`

    - Creates and configures **one HANA instance and zero to several NetWeaver instances** with **RHEL or SLES OS** distribution. Creates a private subnet for SAP communication for the entire landscape.

    - Optionally configures OS network management services (NTP, NFS, and DNS services) using Ansible Galaxy Collection from [IBM](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/ibm/power_linux_sap/): `power_linux_sap`

    - Additionally tunes the instances according to SAP's best practices, which is fully ready for hosting SAP applications.
