SAP NoteHeader Data SymptomRunning SAP products inside a Citrix XenServer virtual machine requires that you configure and enable a SAP specific monitoring. Other TermsCitrix XenServer, Linux, Monitoring Reason and Prerequisites SolutionTo enable XenServer monitoring in SAP environment some configuration steps need to be done in DOM0 (Domain 0) and in each DOMU (virtual machine) where SAP products are installed. (A) Actions in DOM0 (as user "root"): Attached to this note you find a ZIP file named "configDOM0.zip". It contains the file "setup_vhostmd" which is a shell script with two use cases: l Use case 1: You want to dump a vhostmd config file to stdout: ./setup_vhostmd --dump l Use case 2: You want to configure vhostmd automatically: ./setup_vhostmd --config First Option (preferred): Automatic configuration of DOM0 to enable vhostmd based monitoring by "setup_vhostmd" is the recommended procedure. After the installation of the vhostmd package (e.g. "yum install vhostmd") execute this script: ./setup_vhostmd --config Second Option (alternative): If you prefer to do the setup manually the necessary steps are described here. Follow these steps to enable virtualization monitoring for SAP guests in XenServer: 1. In Domain 0 install the vhostmd package (if it isn't already installed): yum install vhostmd 2. Create vhostmd's config file: cp -p /etc/vhostmd/vhostmd .conf /etc/vhostmd/vhostmd. conf.bak ./setup_vhostmd --dump > /etc/vhostmd/vhostmd.conf 3. Activate vhostmd: pool_uuid=$(xe pool -list --minimal) xe pool-param-set uuid=$pool_uuid \ other-config:vhostmd-enabled=true 1532458 - Monitoring of SAP on Citrix XenServerVersion5 Validity: 07.12.2010 - active LanguageEnglish (Master) Released On07.12.2010 10:35:36 Release StatusReleased for Customer ComponentXX-PART-CTX-XEN XenServer by Citrix BC-OP-LNX Linux PriorityRecommend ations / Additional Info CategoryInstallation information Other Components
