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.
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.

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.

2.1.2 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.
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.

2.3 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).
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.
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!
The following FlexFrame internal LAN switches are released for FlexFrame V1.3A:

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.

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:

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.
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.
