An update that has one fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update provides sapconf 4.1.6, which fixes the following issues:

  • sapconf's sap-hana tuning profile incorrectly used "noop" IO scheduler on disk block devices, which is not explicitly recommended by either SUSE or SAP. Performance regression showed up during benchmark runs. Hence, the IO scheduler setting is removed from tuning profile, and left to be decided by end-user. (bsc#1031073)
