💅 saptune(7) — the installation behavior glow-up

okay bestie, welcome to the saptune installation manual page (yes, it's section 7, she's got range) 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

saptune — Installation behavior

So like, starting with saptune version 3.2 on SLE 16, we changed how saptune behaves during package installation. The system now always gets a default tuning. No more showing up to the party empty-handed, periodt. 💅

If the saptune package gets installed — and it does, by default SLES for SAP 16 installation, or when you select SAP Application Server Base during the SLE 16 installation, or by pattern, or manually by your own iconic self — an initial base tuning is done similar to sapconf in SLES 15. ✨

The saptune systemd service gets started and the solution SAP_Base gets applied:

saptune solution apply SAP_Base

And because the saptune.service is enabled by vendor presets, the base tuning is persistent after reboot. it stays. she's committed. 🫶

The SAP_Base solution is based on the SAP Note 1275776 - Linux: Preparing SLES for SAP environments (https://me.sap.com/notes/1275776), which describes the new base tuning. iykyk.

Wanna switch up the system tuning for SAP workloads? It's lowkey simple — just use saptune solution change <newSolutiuon> (yes, that spelling is exactly how it's written in this page, no cap, don't come for me 😭), or do the combo of saptune revert all followed by saptune solution apply <Solution> or saptune note apply <Note>. slay. 💖

💀 ATTENTION 💀

In SLE 15, literally nothing changed regarding the saptune package installation and the base tuning. Per default sapconf is installed, active, and provides the base tuning for SAP workloads. that's just how she runs over there. 🙈

Wanna switch to saptune for SAP workload tuning? You need to run saptune service takeover and saptune solution apply <Solution>. That's the whole vibe check — don't skip the takeover step bestie, it's giving mandatory. 🔥
