Role Name: sap-base-settings

THIS ROLE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED AND WILL BE REMOVED IN 12.2022. Please use the community.sap_install collection instead.

(Work in Progress)

This role sets up the hostname and locale as per SAP Note 2369910.

This setup is necessary for SAP Netweaver and SAP HANA installations.

The role checks that the domain name, short hostname, and full hostname return the correct values. It also sets the locale to en_US.UTF-8, as required by the SAP note mentioned above.

Requirements

Before using this role, make sure the network and DNS settings are properly configured, for example, using linux-system-roles.

Role Variables

• sap_hostname -- defaults to "{{ ansible_hostname }}"
• sap_domain -- defaults to "{{ ansible_domain }}"
• sap_ip -- defaults to "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}"

Here, sap_hostname is the short hostname for the SAP system, and sap_domain is the DNS domain name. SAP requires both of these to be verified.
