1 Introduction
This document is intended to be used as a basis for elaborating a FlexFrame configuration.
Since a FlexFrame configuration is assembled individually for each customer, the minimum
requirements are specified. The hardware and necessary software components are listed. In
addition, the service packages required for installation are described.

For maintenance and service aspects a valid service concept and contract is
st nd rd
mandatory that covers 1 , 2 and 3 level support. Responsible for such a
Note
service offering are the individual regions or certified FlexFrame service partners.
For Germany the FlexFrame Solution Contract is available.

More detailed information about FlexFrame maintenance is available at the maintenance and
support services extranet pages.

Prescribed terminology: the 2 Control Nodes (CN) are named as one


Note
ControlCenter (CC).

It is strongly recommended to involve the Fujitsu SAP Global Competence Center in Walldorf
(expert.sap@ts.fujitsu.com) in the sizing and configuration process. Load calculation (sizing)
and a configuration proposal can be provided by the FFO Architecture Services Team.
Please send all requests to: expert.sap@ts.fujitsu.com
This document is a subject of change; we therefore strongly recommend downloading always
the current valid version, available on the PRIMEFLEX for SAP landscapes Extranet site.

FlexFrame® Orchestrator 6 - 57
FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.3A
2 Hardware Components
The main intention of this configuration guide is to support a FlexFrame V1.3A configuration. It
contains a list of compliant ControlCenter Nodes, Application Nodes, Storage and Network
Components and Professional Services.
A complete FlexFrame V1.3A infrastructure comprises racks, the cabling, redundant power
supplies wherever possible, redundant electric circuits, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS),
KVM switches, rack console etc. A hardware console for the application nodes and the control
nodes is urgently required. In the target locations sufficient power connection, the right power
connectors, air conditioning and floor load have to be considered.
For a complete solution you need also:
 1 x FlexFrame Identifier FTS:FFO-ID-001 (mandatory)
This is an unique label with the FlexFrame serial number and has to be ordered only
once per FlexFrame configuration.
 1 x FlexFrame staging identifier U21348-C1003 (mandatory for new configurations)
In case of very new FlexFrame configurations this identifier assures that the FlexFrame
configuration is pretested as a solution before delivery to minimize the installation efforts
at customer site.

FlexFrame owns its specific network infrastructure. The network connecting all components like
Control Nodes, physical Application Nodes, Hypervisor Nodes and storage subsystems consists
of a redundant physical cabling, running 4 logical networks: The Storage LAN, the Server LAN,
the Control LAN and the Client LAN. It is attached to the local enterprise network by switches.
All Application Nodes and Control Nodes must be equipped with redundant power supplies and
redundant fans. No other controllers than the on board controllers and those listed in this
document are supported.
For maintenance and support aspects a valid service concept and contract is mandatory that
covers 1st, 2nd and 3rd level support. Responsible for such a service offering are the individual
regions (e.g. FlexFrame SolutionContract for region DACH) or certified FlexFrame service
partners. For ordering the FlexFrame SolutionContract FlexFrame please contacts your local
service consultant. For FlexFrame partners a special 3rd level support order number is available.
The complete SW, license and identifier configuration you can find in chapter 8.

2.1 Control Nodes


The Control Center of FlexFrame can either consist of physical Control Nodes or of virtual
Control Nodes (vCN). In case of a virtual Control Center (vCC) both virtual machines are hosted
on different physical PRIMERGY servers that run SUSE KVM as hypervisor.
Both Control Nodes clustered with Linux-HA are required for redundancy reasons. The services
TFTP, DHCP, LDAP, NTP etc., the administration routines for the SAP services and optionally
the SAPROUTER run on the physical Control Nodes. In case of vCC the SAPROUTER has to
be installed on a further virtual machine.
The hardware for the Control Nodes has to be ordered based on following configurations.

2.1.2 Virtual Control Nodes
As KVM hypervisor nodes all supported FFO PY/PQ rack server – except the PRIMERGY
RX300 S5 – are allowed. The KVM Hypervisor Nodes hosting a virtual Control Node must fulfill
special requirements as described in the “HW Characteristics”. Especially the KVM Hypervisor
Nodes hosting a virtual Control Node need 4 network interfaces and 300GB hard disk minimum.
A virtual Control Node needs a portion of 60GB disk space on the physical local disk of the
underlying Hypervisor Node and a corresponding portion of 8GB memory. It is the customer’s
responsibility to care for the sufficient availability of disk and memory space of the underlying
Hypervisor Node for the virtual Control Node
If even Application Nodes should run on the vCC Hypervisor Nodes following hardware
configuration is recommended as minimum to guarantee a smooth FFO operation:

2.2 Application and Hypervisor Nodes
FlexFrame supports physical Application Nodes running Linux operating system and Hypervisor
Nodes running with Linux KVM or VMware vSphere ESXi hypervisor. So PRIMERGY Rack
server and Blade server can be used as Application or Hypervisor Nodes.

All nodes are specified with their base configuration and optional components. Beyond the
mentioned components no additional components (e.g. PCI cards) are supported as the
FlexFrame AN image may not work properly. Sole exceptions are additional power supplies and
fans.

Relevant source for supported components (nodes, cards, storage, …) is the


FlexFrame V1.3A Support Matrix available at:
Note https://partners.ts.fujitsu.com/com/products/infrastruc-
solutions/FlexFrame/Pages/default.aspx

The HW Option SAN Connectivity (HBAs) should be installed only in physical rack servers, as
HBAs are not supported with Hypervisor Nodes nor blade servers. Switching of Nodes between
physical and virtualized is not recommended.

2.2.1 Certified HANA configurations


Some of the FFO Application Nodes can be used as SAP HANA servers (10GBit connectivity is
mandatory). Detailed Information of the certified SAP HANA Hardware and certified Scale Out
configurations are available on the corresponding SAP Pages.
Server specific HANA prerequisites and conditions are listed in the corresponding FFO AN
configurations.

For support during the sizing process please contact expert.sap@ts.fujitsu.com.

FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.3A
2.3 Storage System
FlexFrame V1.3A supports NetApp Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network
(SAN). NAS storage system is a mandatory part of a FlexFrame configuration (the volume volFF
and pool-specific volumes have to be placed on a NAS system).

For the "supplementary components" like the storage products


from NetApp it is mandatory to close a service contract that has
a comparable service level like the FlexFrame "core products"
Note
at minimum, especially including the possibility of on-site
support in case of escalations. For NetApp systems e.g. the
service level “Premium” (7x24) is necessary.

Please note: If NAS equipment used for FlexFrame V1.3A should be used for other NFS based
applications in parallel, a request for special release is necessary and additional professional
services are required for both sizing and on-site configuration. Other networks than the
FlexFrame internal networks have to be connected to the Filer by separate NICs.
We recommend that the Filer is exclusively used for FlexFrame. Automated configuration scripts
within FlexFrame can interfere with other applications using the Filer, because these scripts
modify global configuration files on the Filer.
The number and size of the disks depends on the requirements of the SAP systems running on
the FlexFrame landscape. They have to be determined by a preliminary sizing process. For
support during the sizing process please contact expert.sap. At least two NICs are required to
connect the Filer redundantly to two different switches, more NICs can be used for 1GbE
connections (2, 4, 6 or 8 are recommended) or 10Gbe connections (2 or 4).
Do not build a vif with an odd number of network interfaces, otherwise the NetApp internal load
balancing algorithm does not work optimally under high load.

NetApp V-Series respectively FlexArray functionality are supported on a regular basis; usage of
those can be done on a customer specific project base with extra support agreements for the
storage systems behind the gateway.

 In case of MetroCluster it is mandatory to order the NetApp service


“Initial Installation” to certify the MetroCluster Configuration.
 Please do not mix NetApp quotes of different solutions for one
project. Otherwise, during staging, there will be problems
Note
assigning the right components to the appropriate solution.
 If two solutions have to be installed in one rack, and the order has
to be split into two orders, use another rack but tag it as "not order
relevant".

2.3.2 SAN Storage systems


With FFO 1.1A data bases may also be placed on a SAN storage system. The SAN storage
models (SAN storage, FC switches) are no subject of the FlexFrame release. FlexFrame only
uses so called LUNs provided by the storage administrator. Recommended current HBAs for
the Application Nodes are the Emulex LPe16000 resp. LPe16002 HBAs.

Please note: SAN is supported only for physical rack servers - blade servers and Hypervisor
Nodes (KVM or ESX) are not supported!

2.4 Switches
2.4.1 TCP/IP (LAN)
The standard FlexFrame configuration consists of 1 GbE and 10 GbE switch groups. This
configuration offers the best price per port ratio.
However FlexFrame supports configurations with 10 GbE switch groups only. This requires
using 1 GbE ports on the 10 GbE switch group for connecting the FlexFrame Control Nodes
and for hardware management (iRMC, MMB, switch oob).
Please discuss the best possibility for your project with your presales specialists before ordering
the FlexFrame configuration!

Note: switches have to be bought locally in the regions. As a consequence no factory staging
is possible anymore outside of the EU. For checking the possibility of a local staging,
please contact expert.sap@ts.fujitsu.com.

 There have to be used always at least two switches of the same type.
 For the 3750X module C3KX-NM-10G it is allowed, based on a special release, to use it as
pure 1GbE module. In that case it has to be configured as 4x1GbE. A mixed usage of
1x10GbE + 2x1GbE isn’t supported.
 NetApp FAS series with two dual ports 10GbE NICs is supported in FlexFrame V1.3A.
FAS2000 supports no 10GB in high availability configurations.
 Due to performance aspects it’s strongly recommended not to use more than 4 3750-
switches per stack. Maximal number of usable switches per stack is limited to 9 by the
manufacturer. Both rules are valid for the 1GbE and the 10GbE switches.
 An adequate Service contract has to be closed with Fujitsu locally, if available, or with local
Cisco service provider.

Please clarify before ordering how the peer keep alive between the Nexus
5500 switches of a switch group shall be implemented:
1. Using the FlexFrame 1 GbE switch group (CISCO 3750-X or BROCADE
ICX6430). This requires 1 additional 1 GbE port on each switch of the 1
GbE switch group for each Nexus switch.
Note:
2. Using FlexFrame-external 1 GbE customer switches. This requires 1
additional 1 GbE port per Nexus 5500 switch on customer side.
3. Connecting the management ports of both Nexus 5500 switches
directly to each other. This requires no additional 1 GbE switch ports.
However this requires configuration of inband management.

 An adequate Service contract has to be closed with Fujitsu locally, if available, or with local
Cisco service provider.

3 FlexFrame Management Software Licenses
With FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.0A a complete new license model for the FlexFrame runtime
licenses was introduced.

3.1 End User Licenses


3.1.1 License metrics
For the FlexFrame Orchestrator Software following license metrics are applicable:
 Number of FlexFrame System IDs (SIDs) running in parallel within one customer
FlexFrame environment
 Number of Server Nodes.

3.1.2 General License structure


The general license structure consists of two types of license packages:
 Base package that enable the functionality and covers an initial number of license units.
 Extension packages, necessary, if the number of the license units covered with the base
packages is not sufficient for the used units. Extension packages of one license type are
unrestricted combinable, e.g. FFO SID extension S and/or FFO SID extension M.

3.1.3 FlexFrame Orchestrator – Mandatory licenses


For each FlexFrame Orchestrator environment all FlexFrame System IDs (SIDs) have to be
licensed.

3.1.4 FlexFrame Orchestrator – Optional licenses


Additive optional functionalities like Accounting, RBAC (Role Based Access Control),
virtualization via VMware ESX, virtualization via Linux KVM or usage of SAN storage systems
are available by purchasing further runtime licenses. Therefore following license rules are valid:
 Accounting and RBAC are licensed based on the number of SIDs. All SIDs of customer’s
FlexFrame environment must be considered.
 SAN option is also licensed based on the number of the SIDs that are connected to the
SAN storage system. SAN option is only possible with physical rack servers; Blade
server and virtual machines (KVM od ESX) are not supported!
 Virtualization based on VMware ESX or Linux KVM is licensed based on the number of
server nodes that are configured as Hypervisor Nodes.

3.1.5 License Exceptions


 SIDs for the Solution Manager Diagnostics Services (SMD) are not counted at all.
 SIDs of so called “NoDBUsed” services - e.g. Web Dispatcher, TREX, … - are only
counted with factor “0.1”. NoDBUsed SIDs of the Flex-Frame environment can be listed
via the com-mand “ff_sid_adm.pl --op list-sids”.

3.2.2 One Year FFO Subscriptions
To reduce the initial investment and allow adapting the license needs year by year, for all
“Extension Licenses” (FFO RunTime and optional functionality) so called FFO subscriptions that
are valid for one year were introduced. These subscriptions can be ordered instead of the
perpetual licenses. Following preconditions to run these licenses are necessary:
 For each FFO environment perpetual Base Licenses for the mandatory FFO RunTime and
desired optional functionality have to be acquired
 After the end of the subscription period new subscriptions can be ordered for the concrete
number of licenses needed for the next year
 Corresponding SolutionPacks valid for 1 year are offered
 All FFO license rules and FFO license checks also apply to the FFO subscriptions
 Any mix of perpetual licenses and subscriptions is allowed
Following FFO subscriptions are available:

FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.3A
4 Software

4.1 Operating System Software


FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.3A supports even “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP
applications” (SLES4SAP) alternatively to the standard “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server” (SLES).
The main advantage of SLES4SAP in a FlexFrame Orchestrator configuration is the extended
support period of 18 month after release of a new Service Pack.
The delivered operating system images for Control Nodes and Application nodes are prepared
to run either as SLES4SAP or as standard SLES. To make use of the advantages of
SLES4SAP the customer has to order the corresponding SUSE Linux subscription & service
packages, e.g. SLES4SAP 1-2 Sock/VM 7x24 L3 Supp. 3Y.

A mixture of SLES and SLES4SAP within one FFO configuration


Note
is not allowed.

4.2 Control Node Image


The FlexFrame Orchestrator Control Node image contains following Software parts:

4.2.1 FlexFrame Management Software


 Version V1.3A

4.2.2 Operating System


 SLES11/SLES4SAP SP4. The Linux image is included in the FlexFrame DVD media set.

4.2.3 Linux-HA
 SLES 11 SP4 HA Extension (Heartbeat 2 cluster software, included in FF software)

4.3 Application Node Images


4.3.1 PRIMERGY

4.3.2 Operating System


The Linux images are included in the FlexFrame DVD media set. The support upgrade
protection has to be ordered with each AN and CN.
 SLES11 64 Bit SP4 or SLES4SAP SP4 (AN)
 SLES12 64 Bit SP2 or SLES4SAP 12 SP2

4.4 Hypervisor Nodes


 KVM Hypervisor Node image is contained on the Control Node DVD.
 ESX Hypervisor Node image is preinstalled or the official PRIMERGY ESX Image could be
used for Installation.

FlexFrame® Orchestrator 38 - 57
FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.3A
4.5 SAP and Database Software
The delivery of SAP software (binaries as well as licenses) is not part of the FlexFrame delivery
and has to be ordered separately from SAP.
SAP kernels for MaxDB (previously SAPDB), Oracle Database, IBM DB2, HANA DB, Sybase
ASE and Sybase IQ are supported.
Components:
All SAP Application components like ECC, CRM, SRM, BW, EP and others, that make use of
the Basic Components mentioned above, are tested to run on FlexFrame.

Please note:
Detailed information about supported SAP components and database releases is available in
the FlexFrame support matrix at https://partners.ts.fujitsu.com/com/products/infrastruc-
solutions/FlexFrame/Pages/default.aspx.

4.6 VMware vSphere ESXi Software


The support of VMware virtual machines as FFO Application Nodes is integrated part of
FlexFrame. For using this feature extra FFO license options are necessary (see chapter 3.1.4).
Beside these license packages the VMware vSphere 5 licenses are necessary in the needed
numbers. For running VMware vSphere ESX within FlexFrame a special discount of the
VMware licenses are available, therefore the VMware vSphere ESX licenses are capsulated by
FlexFrame order IDs (U21348-C1091/C1092/C1093) according to the requested VMware
vSphere edition (STD, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus).

4.7 Linux KVM Software


The support of Linux KVM virtual machines as FFO Application Nodes is integrated part of
FlexFrame. For using this feature extra FFO license options are necessary (see chapter 3.1.4).
To run SLES with KVM Hypervisor you have to order the “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for 1-2
sockets, unlimited virtual machines” SNS. The “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for 1-2 sockets or
2 virtual machines” SNS does NOT include the right to run SLES with KVM as hypervisor.

4.8 Storage Systems


4.8.1 NetApp Filer
With FlexFrame Orchestrator even ONTAP Cluster mode is supported. For the minimally
supported ONTAP versions and mode in FlexFrame see the FlexFrame support matrix.

Following compatibility agreement is effective for NetApp Disk-Storage HW:


1) The Operating System Data ONTAP remains upward compatible
2) All NAS systems with Data ONTAP are supported by FlexFrame with the for customers
currently available functionality
The functionality of aggregates, FlexVol and FlexClone is supported. The usage of virtual Filers
(MultiStore™ license [vfiler])) is supported. For FlexFrame the volumes for system data and
management information for the Filer must be reachable using the same Filer name.
Mandatory software licence:
 NFS

FlexFrame® Orchestrator 39 - 57
FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.3A
Optional software licences:
 MetroCluster
 Syncmirror
 Snapmirror
 SnapRestore
 SnapVault
 FlexClone

FlexFrame Orchestrator V1.3A
5 High Availability

5.1 General
High availability (HA) is inherent for FFO by means of spare servers, FlexFrame Agent
functionality, switch HW configuration, NAS storage etc.
Storage providers offer additive options (like MetroCluster from NetApp).
Fujitsu provides a document, which presents generic information for the design of possible
HA/DR configurations based on available solutions from our supported storage HW providers.

5.2 Cluster configuration with NetApp HW


NetApp clustered failover constantly monitors the health of the clustered filers. If it detects a
hardware failure on a Filer, it automatically initiates a failover operation to transfer the data
service to its partner Filer.
NetApp cluster provides protection against failure of one head. The configuration is meant only
for hardware redundancy and not for data redundancy. In cases where both, hardware and data
redundancy are required a MetroCluster configuration must be used, which
 provides continuous data availability for an unavailable Filer
 enables planned maintenance on a Filer without impacting data availability
 realizes an active/active configuration

Note:
Clustered Filer heads are fully supported by FlexFrame V1.3A.
More information about NetApp MetroCluster can be found at www.netapp.com.

6 Network
A very detailed description about FlexFrame Orchestrator network design and configuration is
available in the „FlexFrame Network Design and Configuration Guide“ manual, available at the
FlexFrame manual pages.

8 How to Order FlexFrame
Incoming orders comprising more than one SAP solution (HANA Power, FlexFrame
Orchestrator) occasionally cause assignment problems of parts (server, storage, network
components, ...) to the right solution.
It is essential to follow the internal ordering process rules. A customer order can contain several
of the following Solution Identifiers:
 FTS:HANA-ID-V101: ID HANA APPLIANCE SINGLE NODE PY
 FTS:HANA-ID-V301: ID HANA APPLIANCE SINGLE NODE PQ
 FTS:HANA-ID-MN: ID HANA MULTI NODE
 FTS:FFO-ID-001: FLEXFRAME ORCHESTRATOR IDENTIFIER
but the factory system allows just one Solution Identifier per order.
For this reason it is mandatory to split the customer order with more than one of the above
Solution Identifiers into single factory orders with only ONE Solution Identifier per order.
Further on, the ordered items within the factory orders have to be logically "grouped":
1. Items not part of the SAP solution, e.g. backup components, must be located above the
Solution Identifier, if they are not already in a separate order.
2. All items of the SAP solution must be entered directly below the SAP Solution Identifier.
3. Furthermore the usual rules for entering orders in a standardized FTS order must be
observed. For example:
 All systems and components that have to be delivered separately (without rack
assembly) must be entered above the first rack entry.
 The creation of clear “rack blocks”, i.e. all the systems and components to be
assembled/integrated explicitly into a particular rack must be entered after that rack
entry.
 SystemArchitect supports this procedure automatically and should always be used as
basis for customer orders
Absolute recommendation is to create a single SAR file for each unique solution and datacenter
location, e.g. if you are building a DR scenario.

Mainly in the German sales region, the sales back office (SBO) will provide a product offer as
well as the necessary service offers for a FlexFrame infrastructure, based on the configuration
and service information provided by FUJITSU sales / presales experts.
Maintenance services for storage and network products will be offered according to the
available FUJITSU service portfolio or from an external supplier.
SolutionContract FlexFrame is based on a service contract document, as defined within the
FUJISTU service portfolio, to cover the general legal issues. The product details are usually
outlined in a service schedule. Please ensure that one “Solution Identifier” is part of the initial
order for a FlexFrame infrastructure. This unique identifier (serial number) is used as a bracket
for all assets within the SolutionContract. One list item for every hardware or software product
according to the configuration information is shown with the respective service level and service
prices. FUJITSU central price office provides the SolutionContract service pricelist.
The finance back office in the country coordinates the product and service delivery after the
customer ordered the FlexFrame infrastructure. The delivery note contains the serial numbers
for the respective line items in the service schedule and is necessary to active the service
contract.

11.3 Maintenance Service – Back level support


In some cases it is not possible to provide a SolutionContract for a FlexFrame
infrastructure. These cases could be caused by:
 First and second level support is provided through a FlexFrame Service Partner.
 Country region isn’t able to deliver a complete SolutionContract.
In those cases all order automatism covered through the SolutionContract like prolongation
of SUSE or VMware SNS have to be managed through the Service Partner or the Country
region. The FlexFrame back level support has to be ordered through service partner /
country region separately for each FlexFrame installation.

11.3.1 FlexFrame Management Software back level support


The FlexFrame management Software back level support comprises the following activities:
 Error correction by providing patches for a supported release in which the error
occurred or in a new release.
 Provision of patches, service packs, upgrades to new releases and FlexFrame
management software updates to new versions.
For each FlexFrame Orchestrator license package (see chapter 3.2) corresponding back
level support packages – either one year duration or three year duration – are available and
have to be ordered correspondingly. Syntax of the order items is even very simple: U21348-
C10xx-W1/-W3.

11.3.2 Suse Linux ES Subscriptions


The initial SLES subscriptions have to be ordered together with the server hardware. In
case of a SolutionContract the costs are covered with the SolutionContract fees. In cases
without a SolutionContract the costs have to be covered by customer or service provider.
Prolongation of the SLES subscriptions has to be managed by the customers or the service
provider.

11.3.3 VMware vSphere ESXi Service packs


Similar as the SLES subscriptions is the behavior concerning the VMware vSphere ESXi
service packs. Initial service pack has to be ordered together with the licenses, costs have

to be covered by customer or service provider. Even the prolongation of the service packs
has to be managed by the customer or service provider.

11.3.4 Fujitsu’s Hardware Service Packs


The standard Fujitsu hardware service packs and prolongations have to be used.

11.3.5 3rd-Party Hardware Service Packs


Valid back level support packages for every 3rd party system in the configuration are
prerequisite and in responsibility of customer or service provider. Forwarding of issues to
the 3rd party provider has to be managed by customer or service provider.
