Naming conventions SID must be of three characters
First Char: G for GPIL
Second Char: R for R/3 and B for BIW installation. Third Char: D for Development, T for Test
and P for Production e.g.
GRD: GPIL R/3 Development server
GRT: GPIL R/3 Test server
GRP: GPIL R/3 Production server
GBP: GPIL BIW production server
Requirement for AIX
Check tape drive #tar -cvf /dev/<tape_device> ./testfile
Check CD/DVD iso 9600 compatible #mount /cdrom
Disk checking #lspv
Checking free space #lspv - p <disk_name>
Checking installed RAM #lsattr -El sys0 -a realmem
Check CPU #lsconf
lsconf provides you detailed server info.
Check cpu hardware capability Verify hardware compatibility 32/64 bit #bootinfo -
y
Software check C++ environment check #lslpp -L xlC.aix50.rte
OS version #lslpp -l bos.rte
Check required OS packages #lslpp -l | grep bos.rte, bos.adt, bos.adt.Base, bos.perf
Swap space Required swap space is 20GB #lsps -a or #lsconf | grep Page
Check NFS #ps -aef | grep nfs
Tuning AIX Check note Note: 785927 service.sap.com/notes
Asynchronous IO maxserver = minserver = 1.2 * number of datafiles used for the
DB #smit aio >> select change/show char of asynchronous I/O fill min and max number of
server I.e. 15
Setting for Maximum number of allowed process per user #smit >>system environment >>
change and show os char Change values to 2048
Setting swap space #smit >> physical and logical storage >> logical volume mgr >> paging
space >> list all paging space # lspa -a
#smit >> physical and logical storage >> logical volume mgr
>> pagain space >> add another paging space
select volume group
enter size of paging space in logical partition
set start using paging space now? To yes
set pagin space each time the system is restarted? Set yes
Setting data and stack limits # vi /etc/security/limits change data = -1, stack = -1 and add
hard_stack = -1 in Default section
Setting up file system
Procedure for creating file system Refer the file Creating file system in IBM AIX
CreatingFileSysteminAIX.doc

>> network file systems >> Add directory to export list
enter the path of the directory which you want to export e.g. /sapmnt
choose export mode: read/write
In line host: allowed root access
enter the name of host the additional instance run
Export directory now, system restart or both: enter both
Mounting /sapmnt at client Create mount points at the host on which additional instance run

#smit >>communication and application and services
>>NFS >> network file systems >>Add file system for mounting
enter the path name of mount point
enter the path of remote mount directory
enter the host where remote directory resides
set mount now, add entry to /etc/filesystems or both: set both
set /etc/filesystems entry will mount the directory on system restart to yes
change mount file system soft or hard to soft
#mount -v nfs gpisaps2:/sapmnt /sapmnt
Manually vi /etc/exports add following line
/sapmnt -deleg=yes,sec=sys:krb5p:krb5i:krb5:dh:none,rw
save it now #exportfs -a
