An update that has seven fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for SAPHanaSR fixes the following issues:

  • Add systemd support for the resource agent to interact with the new SAP unit files for sapstartsrv. As the new version of the SAP Startup Framework will use systemd unit files to control the sapstartsrv process instead of the previous used SysV init script, the handling of sapstartsrv inside the resource agents is adapted to support both ways. (bsc#1189530, bsc#1189531)
  • The resource start and stop timeout is now configurable by increasing the timeout for the action 'start' and/or 'stop'. 95% of this action timeouts will be used to calculate the new resource start and stop timeout for the 'WaitforStarted' and 'WaitforStopped' functions. If the new, calculated timeout value is less than '3600', it will be set to '3600', so that we do not decrease this timeout by accident. (bsc#1182545)
  • Change promotion scoring during maintenance procedure to prevent that both sides have an equal promotion scoring after refresh which might result in a critical promotion of the secondary. (bsc#1174557)
  • Update of man page SAPHanaSR.py.7 - correct the supported HANA version (bsc#1182201)
  • If the $hdbState command fails to retrieve the current state of the System Replication, the resource agent now uses the system_replication/actual_mode attribute (if available) from the global.ini file as a fallback. This should prevent some confusing and misleading log messages during a takeover and solves the problem of a not working takeover back (after a successful first takeover) (bsc#1181765)
  • Add dedicated logging of HANA_CALL problems. It is now possible to identify if the called hana command or the needed su command throws the error, and for further hints it logs the stderr output. Additionally it is possible to get regular log messages for the used commands, their return code and their stderr output by enabling the 'debug' mode of the resource agents (bsc#1182774)
