Description:

This update for saptune fixes the following issues:

  • saptune was updated to version 3.1.3:

  • Removed note 1868829 from solution S4HANA-APPSERVER as it is a HANA DB note and was added by accident (bsc#1226093)

  • Wrap content of the columns 'actual', 'expected' and 'override', if they exceed a width of 30 characters (e.g. net.ipv4.ip_local_reserved_ports).
  • Added support for inline comments in /etc/sysconfig/saptune
  • Changed the handling of the performance options. Check, if the settings are supported in the get-Functions too. This should fix the problem with some special Azure VMs (E20d_v5) on newer SLES SPs.
  • SAP Note 2578899 was updated to Version 48 setting kernel.pid_max to 4194304 and start sysctl-logger service.
