Accessing the Management Console for the SAP HANA One Instance

Bob wants to access the Management Console for his SAP HANA One instance and details how to in 6 steps.

1. First, Bob copies his elastic IP address from the AWS EC2 Management Console and pastes it into a new browser tab. Bob adds the exception to access the web page to open up his SAP HANA One Management Console setup page in the browser.
2. Back in the AWS EC2 Management Console Bob selects his account name, then security credentials, and then clicks on access keys (access key id and secret access key). Bob copies his access key id and his secret access key and pastes them into their respective tabs in the SAP HANA One Management Console setup page.
3. Next Bob accepts the software license agreement.
4. Bob then creates a master password for his SAP HANA One Management Console before clicking on the Setup HANA One! button.
5. Then, in the administration tab Bob creates a hdbadm password for the Linux user and a master SYSTEM password for the database user.
6. Bob then clicks on configure SAP HANA to access the front end of the SAP HANA One Management Console.

Bob explains the five tabs of the SAP HANA One Management Console.

• Status – Displays the status for all of the serves and lists the disk, CPU, and memory usage.
