SAP Note 2013638 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for RHEL 6.5

Component : SAP HANA Database - Red Hat Linux

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2013638 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Note discusses optimal settings for SAP HANA on RHEL 6.5, detailing configurations to enhance performance and stability. Key adjustments include disabling Transparent HugePages to prevent performance issues due to HANA's memory management and configuring C-States for lower latency. Additionally, the note advises on upgrading OpenSSL to mitigate the Heartbleed vulnerability and installing GCC 4.7 runtime for compatibility. Modification of SELinux settings is required as default SELinux policies do not support HANA. Users must have root access to implement these changes, and all configurations should be handled carefully in scale-out environments.
