Update the SAP HANA application agent

Learn how to update the SAP HANA application agent on the Linux database servers that access the protection storage system. Use the following method to update from the SAP HANA application agent 19.4 or later to the SAP HANA application agent version 19.15.

The SAP HANA application agent supports a direct update from version 19.4 or later to version 19.15. To update the SAP HANA application agent from version 19.4 or later, run the ppdmHanaInstall.sh script as the root user and include the --upgrade option and any other appropriate options from the following table.

NOTE:A reboot is not required after the completion of the software update.

For example, run the following command to update the SAP HANA application agent. The command includes the options for the preferred agent host address and communication port. The port is used for communication between the SAP HANA application agent and the PowerProtect Data Manager server: 

ppdmHanaInstall.sh --upgrade --server=<PowerProtect_Data_Manager_server_FQDN_or_IP>
--preferredAddress=<SAP_HANA_agent_host_FQDN_or_IP> --clientPort=<port_number>
--firewallException
NOTE:In a multinode system, you must run the same ppdmHanaInstall.sh --upgrade command on each node.
Table 1. Update script optionsTable of update script options
Command option Description
--upgrade Specifies to perform an update of the SAP HANA application agent. This option is mandatory for the update of the SAP HANA application agent.
--server=

<PowerProtect_Data_Manager_server_FQDN_or_IP>

 Specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the PowerProtect Data Manager server for registering the agent host.

During an interactive update, if you do not include the --server option, the script prompts for the PowerProtect Data Manager server address.

NOTE:If you specify a hostname or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) with an underscore (_) for the PowerProtect Data Manager server, then the communication is done by the system's IP, if provided by the system on registration.
--silent Specifies to perform a silent update, instead of an interactive update with prompts. Always include the --server and --clientPort option with the --silent option. For example: 
ppdmHanaInstall.sh --upgrade --silent --server=
<PowerProtect_Data_Manager_server_FQDN_or_IP>
ppdmHanaInstall.sh --upgrade --silent --server=
<PowerProtect_Data_Manager_server_FQDN_or_IP> --clientPort=<port_number>
--preferredAddress=

<SAP_HANA_agent_host_FQDN_or_IP>

 Specifies the FQDN, IPv4 address , or IPv6 address of the SAP HANA application agent host to be registered with the PowerProtect Data Manager server. The preferred host address is used for communication between the SAP HANA application agent and the PowerProtect Data Manager server.
NOTE:It is recommended to use an FQDN as the preferred host address in DHCP environments and other environments where static IP addresses can change.

During an interactive update, if you do not include this option, the script prompts for the address value.

During a silent update, if you do not include this option, the script automatically retrieves the hostname.
--clientPort=<port_number> Specifies the port on the SAP HANA application agent host to use for communication between the SAP HANA application agent and the PowerProtect Data Manager server. The port number must be from the port ranges 7000 to 7009 and 7012 to 7020. The ports 7010 and 7011 are used by the agent service message bus.

During an interactive update, if you do not include this option, the script prompts you to enter the port number or select the default port 7000.

During a silent update, if you do not include this option, the default port 7000 is used as the communications port.
--firewallException Specifies to set up the firewall exceptions so that the SAP HANA application agent host can communicate with the PowerProtect Data Manager server.

During an interactive update, if you do not include this option, the script asks whether you want to add the firewall rule for the specified port.

During a silent update, if you do not use include option, the firewall configuration is skipped. You must take the appropriate steps to set up the firewall exceptions.

To verify the updated version of the SAP HANA application agent, run the following command: 

rpm -qa | grep "agent"
emcdbappagent-19.15.0.0.0-1.x86_64
powerprotect-agentsvc-19.15.0.0.0-1.x86_64
