Personal Projects

Over the years, I've found areas of specific interest in various technologies and topics. These are some of the materials I've developed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am no longer updating this page - I have created a new publication source at substack.com. Historical information will be maintained here.

Forthcoming, Tux Meets SAP-exclusive writings will largely revolve around SuSE Linux Enterprise Server v15 (SLES 15), SLES for SAP v15 and running both NetWeaver and HANA 2.0 under SLES v15. I'll also explore SLES management tasks such as building and configuring, on both x86_64 and ppc64le platforms.

Planned topics:

  • Building SLES v15 on VMware and PowerVM
    • Keywords: sles 15 suse manager suma ppc64le power9 powerpc x86_64 hmc powervm vsphere autoyast
  • Managing SLES for SAP by leveraging sudo
    • Keywords: sles 15 sap sudo
  • OS tools and tips for HANA Clusters using SLES for SAP High Availability Extension
    • Keywords: sles 15 sap ha high availability extension ha hae hana 2.0 cluster
  • Leveraging RPMs in a SLES for SAP environment
    • Keywords: sles 15 sap ha high availability extension ha hae hana 2.0 cluster rpm yast suse manager suma

In the future, as articles are published at Tux Meets SAP, links will be provided here.
