I’ll explain how to setup and configure a SAP Hana Dynamic Tiering scenario in my test environment. I will show in detail step and configuration point to achieve this configuration.
For my HDT test case I’ll use my own lab on Vmware Vsphere 5.1.0 and run Hana revision 91, I’ll reuse my existing environment setup in my previous documentation.
Disclaimer: this is a personal documentation for test purpose; I will take in consideration the sizing for DT.

In my previous documentation “SAP Hana TDI setup - VMware 5.1” I have explain and setup different scenario of Hana deployment, I’ll reuse my master hana system “hana01” and create a new host from template to add it as “Hana DT worker” host.
In order to install Hana DT specific media needs to be download, those media can be download unde :
“Install & Upgrade -> Hana Platform Edition -> SAP Hana Dynamic Tiering”


Once downloaded, I unzip the file and place the media in my repository

Before to start with the setup of Hana DT, specifics filesystem needs to be mounted on the hosts

Make sure the folder SID exist under “/hana/data_es/” before to run the installer.

Now that the media and the filesystem are ready it’s time to deploy the DT component on the master node.
The deployment can be performed in 3 different ways:
Using the command line tool “hdblcm” by choosing option 9 under “/hana/shared/HB1/hdblcm”

Using the graphical tool “hdblcmgui” under under “/hana/shared/HB1/hdblcm”

And finally by the web over “Hana Lifecycle Management”

For my document I’ll use the web option

I specify my DT component folder with sub folder







Installation done
Now completed we need to install the additional host which will be used as “Hana DT worker”, to do this we can use “hdblcm” or “hdblcmgui” option.
I’ll go by the hdblcmgui option:



I want to use all my NIC so I keep the Global option

Review and launch
Done

The new worker host deployed we can check on hana studio to validate


On the overview dashboard we can see now that DT has been installed but still need to be configured

Do perform it we need to do it over the Hana cockpit, but before the dynamic role needs to be assign

Once assigned, add the necessary dashboard in the cockpit


I define my storage size for my Extended Table and hit create

Done
Note: the configuration can be change to extend disk size to meet requirements

Now check hana studio

The monitoring of DT is done over the cockpit, its straight forward


The configuration is completed.
- Download Hana DT media
- Prepare DT specific filesystem
- Install DT component
- Add new host for DT worker
- Configure DT storage
- Monitoring of DT in hana cockpit
