User Management
Monday, July 31, 2023 1:11 PM

When switching as root user, it is pointed towards DB server.

Step -1:

In that need to compare the present /etc/passwd with backup passwd file which is present in the
Path /sapmnt/dlm/services/gcp/sm_osbackups/servername

Step -2:

Here backup file will be present as tar file and to open this file need to unzip to /tmp directory.

To copy the file - cp vlgdbc54.tar /tmp/bak_vlgdbc54.tar

To unnzip the file - tar -xvf vlgdbc54.tar - unzip

cat etc/passwd | grep -i sapc6e - copy the user o/p

vi /etc/passwd - paste that copied user
pwconv - after making changes in passwd file we should run this cmd to refresh the passwd file
cat /etc/passwd | grep -i sapc6e

SWAP Memory Resize
Wednesday, August 2, 2023 11:43 AM

Mail subject: SWAP extension activity - S4 HANA Cloud systems Wiki: SWAP Extension to 30 GB - DLM Knowledge Management - Wiki@SAP (int.sap)

Mail subject: FW: SWAP Size extension / Reduction Please follow below steps for reducing /increasing swap.

COE Approval required & better to perform in DT

Turn Off / Inactivate the SWAP

swapoff /root/swapfile
Remove the existing SWAP file
rm -f /root/swapfile
Create swap file with required size

Formula for count – 1024*required MB

bs=block size (fixed )-1024

Example -Required 2GB swap file then

2GB*1024 = 2048MB
2048*1024 = 2097152 →Count value

Just change count value in below command & execute

dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swapfile bs=1024 count= 2097152

Now create swap file & assign permissions

mkswap /root/swapfile
chmod 600 /root/swapfile
Turn On / Activiate the SWAP file
swapon /root/swapfile

Hi colleagues,

this is regarding reported DLM Change https://support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/message/2270020281

for extending SWAP size to 30GB.
Per DLM standard the swap size is only 5 GB and the server Bootdisk is 20 GB.

To change this the following steps are needed:

1.) Run vmcontrol on a DLM adminhost (eg. dlm-lts01 or dlm-lts02) and choose Disks ->
EXTEND/UPSIZE and provide the server name.

Linux Page 10
2.) Select the Bootdisk which should be 20 GB

3.) When asked for the new Bootdisk size take the current size 20 GB (15 GB + 5 GB swapfile) and add
25 GB to it resulting in eg. 45 GB Bootdisk size for the server visible on above screenshot.

4.) If finished connect via rcssh to the remote server and have a look via dmesg command if disk size
has changed.

vlgsprob16:~ # dmesg|tail -5
[6772610.107846] RPC: fragment too large: 612067950

[7206643.291464] sda: detected capacity change from 21474836480 to 48318382080

5.) Get the disk device of the root filesystem / via command: grep ' / ' /proc/mounts
vlgsprob16:~ # grep ' / ' /proc/mounts
/dev/sda1 / xfs rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota 0 0

6.) Extend the partition on the disk via command growpart -v /dev/<disk> <partition>:
vlgsprob16:~ # growpart -v /dev/sda 1
update-partition set to true
resizing 1 on /dev/sda using resize_sfdisk_dos

7.) Extend the root filesystem / via command xfs_growfs -d /:

vlgsprob16:~ # xfs_growfs -d /

meta-data=/dev/sda1 isize=512 agcount=9, agsize=655296 blks

= sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1

realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0
data blocks changed from 5242619 to 11796219

8.) Disable and delete the 5 GB swapfile and create the new 30 GB swapfile:
swapoff /root/swapfile
rm -f /root/swapfile
dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swapfile bs=1024 count=31457280
mkswap /root/swapfile
chmod 600 /root/swapfile
swapon /root/swapfile

vlgsprob16:~ # swapoff /root/swapfile

vlgsprob16:~ # rm -f /root/swapfile
vlgsprob16:~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swapfile bs=1024 count=31457280
31457280+0 records in
31457280+0 records out
32212254720 bytes (32 GB, 30 GiB) copied, 70.1113 s, 459 MB/s

9.) Check if the new swapfile is working fine via command swapon -s:
vlgsprob16:~ # swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/root/swapfile file 31457276 0 -1

1. power off the server

2. detach boot disk from the server and attach to any other server which have same zone as os version
(for attach go to gcp click on additional disk then search for the boot disk name which we want to attach
and click save)
3. run fsck on the server which we attached boot disk
4. once fsck done detach the boot disk (follow the same procedure from GCP as we attached)
5. attach to the server which we powered off
6. power on the server
7. run zypper ref ( we should not get any error)

Mount sharing between 2 servers
Thursday, August 24, 2023 12:44 PM

[7/11 1:13 PM] Krishnan, Sahayaajitha (external - Service)

Mount sharing between two servers.

GCP Local NFS share.
Ex: Kindly share the mount /sapmnt/ME1 in server ldcsme1 to server lddbme1.
=============
**Steps to do at source server side.**
1. Login to the server.
2. check for the mentioned mount.
3. To share the file between servers we have to make entry in exports file.
cat /etc/exports
vi /etc/exports

mountname target server ip (permissions)

EX:/sapmnt/ME1 10.177.33.120(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
:wq!

get the target server ip through nslookup.

nslookup lddbme1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Name: lddbme1.wdf.sap.corp
Address: 10.177.33.120
lddbme1.wdf.sap.corp canonical name = vlcdbme1.wdf.sap.corp.
exportfs - a -v cmnd in source server (by this even after reboot permissions wll be retained)
4. rcnfsserver restart.
5. rcnfsserver status. ------> for confirmation.

**Steps to do at destination server.**

1. Login to db server.
2. nslookup lddbme1.
3.have to make entry in fstab.
cat /etc/fstab
vi /etc/fstab
sourceserver:mount mountname permissions
EX:vlccsme1:/sapmnt/ME1 /sapmnt/ME1 nfs defaults 1 2
:wq!
4.rcnfs restart
5.rcnfs status.
mkdir -p /sapmnt/ME1

To detach a boot disk

Step-1:

List out the names and number of disk present by using gcloud command

Step-2:

Check which boot disk is used by server in GCP console.

Login to the server and check current version of the server and cross check with SISM.

Step-3:

To detach, first check in fstab entries whether it is mounted on /mnt, use df command to check which it is mounted.

Umount <mount name>.

If it is not mounted in /mnt,

Check it once again whether any action is performed on boot disk which is yet to removed.

To detach, ask for downtime and remove the unused disk and reboot the server.

rcscp command usage
Wednesday, September 6, 2023 3:22 PM

Dear Colleagues,

As we aware auto mounts(Eg : autodelete30days etc.) will not accessible from EOL Servers (vlv***) , GCP
DMZ servers
To copy files from auto mounts to server (or) vice-versa rcscp command will help us.

Usage of rcscp command

Copying files from automounts to server

• Login to dlm-lts01 / 02
• Syntax – rcscp <auto mount path> root@<servername>:/<folder name>
• Eg : - Copying a file from autodelete30days folder to server vlgspnitintest4 under /tmp
rcscp /sapmnt/dlm_export/autodelete30days/c5330715/test1 root@vlgspnitintest4:/tmp/

Copying files from server to auto mounts

• Login to dlm-lts01/02
• Syntax – rcscp root@<server name>:/<path_of_file> <automount_to_where_file_need to be
copy>

• Eg :- Copying a file from server vlgspnitintest4 to autodelete30days folder

rcscp root@vlgspnitintest4:/tmp/test1 /sapmnt/dlm_export/autodelete30days/c5330715/

Subject: Re: DLM Cloud VM Resource Resize Failure - vlgdbcwj

Hi Colleagues,

Vlgdbcwj is up now with the Old Boot disk.

Issue was that after resizing, the machine type was selected as N2-highmem-64 which doesn’t have a
matching Sole Tenant Node Group in our Project.
• In these situations, check if a matching node group is available ( In GCP UI -> Power off the server,
Edit, Go to Sole tenancy , Click Browse and select the matching Node group in the zone ).
dlm-general-<zone> -> This is for all N1 machines upto 96 CPU & 624 GB
dlm-<megamem/ultramem/highmem>-<zone> -> This is for Higher machine types

• If no matching node group, change the machine type to a matching node group’s machine type or
select the old machine type to bring up the VM to check with us.

Regards,
Bijo

Hello Colleagues,

We require your assistance for the below issue, As we tried to resize the memory while doing Resize we

We try to change the machine type and start the server but no luck.

At last we tried BDE also, BDE also not completed.

Points to remember:

✓ Ask for downtime and check whether the ticket is change request.

✓ Take snapshot for both OS and data disk.

✓ First search for a reference server which contains the required OS version

✓ List out repolist and check difference between current and reference server.

✓ If repos are not matching, take a backup of current repos in main server and copy all the repos
from reference server

✓ Run - yum reploist to load the newly copied repolist

✓ To update run yum update

✓ Next reboot the server to reflect the changes.

✓ To check current OS versions - cat /etc/os-release.
