the provider section name is case sensitive — yes really, watch the caps 👀 usually all lowercase is used for the section name, and the provider hook script names are camelCase. so like, know the difference, iykyk 🦋

run this script as the <sid>adm user, fr fr. that's the vibe check it needs to pass 🙈

💅 EXAMPLES 💅

💫 show names of all HA/DR provider sections in global.ini

might be useful to see whether sections are named lower/upper/camel-case, bestie 👀 SID is HA1.

# su - ha1adm -c "cdcoc; grep ^\[ha_dr_provider_ global.ini"

🦋 show the global.ini section ha_dr_provider_suschksrv, if available

example SID is HA1, the HADR provider script is susChkSrv.py. see also manual page susChkSrv.py(7).

# su - ha1adm -c "/usr/bin/SAPHanaSR-manageProvider --show --provider=suschksrv"

🌟 add the section and activate the provider hook script susHanaSR.py

example SID is HA1, the HADR provider hook script is susHanaSR.py. see also manual page susHanaSR.py(7).

note: 'hdbnsutil -reloadHADRProviders' loads everything from global.ini 😳
# cat /usr/share/SAPHanaSR/samples/global.ini
# su - ha1adm -c "/usr/bin/SAPHanaSR-manageProvider --add /usr/share/SAPHanaSR/samples/global.ini"
# su - ha1adm -c "hdbnsutil -reloadHADRProviders; echo rc:"
# su - ha1adm -c "cdtrace; grep SAPHanaSR.init nameserver_*.trc"

🧚 change timeout for HADR provider hook script susTkOver.py

example SID is HA1, timeout is changed from 35 to 30. the configuration is changed and applied to the running hook script. see also manual page susTkOver.py(7).

# su - ha1adm
~> /usr/bin/SAPHanaSR-manageProvider --show --provider=sustkover >sustkover.old
~> sed s/sustkover_timeout\ =\ 35/sustkover_timeout\ =\ 30/g <sustkover.old >sustkover.new
~> /usr/bin/SAPHanaSR-manageProvider --add --provider=sustkover sustkover.new
~> hdbnsutil -reloadHADRProviders
~> cdtrace; grep susTkOver.init nameserver_*.trc

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so heads up: the command hangs if it needs an input file and you do not specify the file 😭 the way that it'll just sit there... not iconic.
