Standalone deployment
In this example, we set up a sample environment for installation. It includes a public subnet for RDP and SSH access via the internet. We use Amazon Launch Wizard for SAP in a single Availability Zone deployment to create the Amazon VPC, subnets, security groups, and IAM roles. You can refer to this example set up but should also follow your own network layout and comply with security standards, such as the following:
-
Using a Landing Zone solution like Amazon Control Tower
.
-
Working with a cloud team like Cloud Center of Excellence to use existing standards.
Step 1: Prepare your Amazon account
Check the Region where you want to deploy your Amazon resources:
-
You pick your region for deployment during the planning phase.
-
Display the Amazon Command Line Interface configuration data:
$ aws configure list
Ensure that the default region listed in the command output is the same as the target region where you want to deploy your Amazon resources and install SAP workloads. In this deployment, we provision an Amazon EC2 instance.
Note
In this section, the syntax used for the Amazon CLI and Linux commands is
specific to the scope of this document. Each command supports many
additional options. To learn more, use the aws help command.
Step 2: Create a
JSON file for Amazon EBS storage
Create a JSON file containing the storage requirements for SAP
Oracle database server volumes. The following is an example JSON
file with two Amazon EBS volumes for swap and installation directories. You can add
more volumes as per your storage design.
[ { "DeviceName": "/dev/sdh", "Ebs": { "VolumeSize": 32, "VolumeType": "gp3", "DeleteOnTermination": true } }, { "DeviceName": "/dev/sdg", "Ebs": { "VolumeSize": 50, "VolumeType": "gp3", "DeleteOnTermination": true } } ]
In the preceding example, the device name /dev/shd is for
non-nitro based hypervisors. On Nitro-based instances, Amazon EBS volumes are
presented as NVME block devices. You need to perform additional mapping when
configuring these volumes. For more information, see Operating system and storage configuration
Step 3: Launch the Amazon EC2 instance
Launch the Amazon EC2 instance for the SAP Oracle database installation in your
target region, using the information gathered in Step 1. You must create the
required storage volumes and attach them to the Amazon EC2 instance for the SAP
installation, based on the JSON file you created in the Amazon EBS
storage (Step 2).
$ aws ec2 run-instances \ --image-id AMI-ID \ --count number-of-EC2-instances \ --instance-type instance-type \ --key-name=name-of-key-pair \ --security-group-ids security-group-ID \ --subnet-id subnet-ID \ --block-device-mappings file://C:\Users\<file>.json \ --region region-ID
Use this command in a single line format, as shown in the following example.
aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --count 1 \ --instance-type m5.large --key-name=my_key --security-group-ids \ sg-xxxxxxxx --subnet-id subnet-xxxxxx \ --block-device-mappings file://C:\Users\<file>.json
You can also launch Amazon EC2 instances using the Amazon Web Services Management Console. For more
information, see Launch an instance
Step 4: Prepare the Oracle Linux OS
Before starting the installation, you need to perform Oracle Enterprise Linux
specific prerequisite tasks. For more information, refer to SAP Notes 1635808
Step 5: Prepare each Amazon EC2 instance for SAP Oracle installation
Download the SAP installation media as per the SAP installation guide, for
the version of SAP NetWeaver you want to install on your Amazon EBS volumes. Locate
your installation guide on the Guide Finder for SAP
NetWeaver
If you choose to install the SAP Oracle database with high availability deployment across two Availability Zones, repeat the preceding steps for Oracle database standby HA instance in the second Availability Zone.
If you choose to install SAP Oracle database with high availability and disaster recovery deployment across two Amazon Regions, repeat the preceding steps in the second Amazon Region in which you want to run the Oracle database standby DR instance.
Step 6: Installing SAP Oracle on Amazon EC2 instances
You are now ready to install the SAP Oracle software on your Amazon EC2 instances.

your SAP NetWeaver installation guide. Locate your installation guide on the
