High-availability clusters on RHEL diagnostic information

For problems that are related to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) high-availability cluster for SAP, provide the following information to Cloud Customer Care as soon as you can:

• A complete and detailed description of the problem or error, including the following:

  • The current application or system state.
  • The date and time when the error occurred.
  • If you're facing a performance issue with your SAP workload, then gather diagnostic information about SAP workload performance.

• If you are using Google Cloud's Agent for SAP, then you can generate and share the support bundle.

• If you aren't using Google Cloud's Agent for SAP, then collect information about the cluster, including configuration details, system information, and diagnostic information, which includes the following:

  • If you have the Red Hat sos package or can install it, use the sosreport tool to collect the cluster information.

    • To install the sos package:

      sudo yum install -y sos

    • Run the sosreport tool on all cluster nodes:

      sosreport

  • If don't have the sos package, you can run the crm_report tool on all cluster nodes and provide the Corosync logs.

    Specify a start time (from time) that is approximately 1 hour before the issue occurred. Specify an end time (to time) that is at least an hour after the issue was resolved.

    • Run the crm_report on all nodes, specifying the from time and to time on the '-f' and '-t' flags, respectively.

      crm_report -f "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm" -t "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm"

    • For RHEL 7, additionally provide the log file /var/log/cluster/corosync.log for the cluster software from each cluster node.
