Hello and welcome to the SAP HANA Academy.
The topic of this video tutorial series is Getting Started with SAP HANA on the Google Cloud Platform
and in this video we will attach a fixed IP to our SAP HANA, express edition VM,
the one we created in the previous video.
Hi, I am Denys van Kempen.
I am connect here to the Console and in the menu Products & services I will select Deployment Manager.
I have pinned it so it is under Home, otherwise you will find it in the Tools section.
Select your the SAP HANA, express edition (server + applications) deployment and
take a look at the Suggested next steps section on the right pane.
One of the suggestions is Assign a static external IP address to your VM instance.
You may recall that when we deployed the solution an ephemeral IP was assigned, meaning that
the IP address will change each the VM is stopped and started.
For training and development purposes, with you as the only one using the VM,
it is far more convenient to assign a fixed IP to the VM.
Otherwise, you will have to use a different IP each time in the URL of your browser,
so your favorites will not work either.
Additionally, we can then create an alias in the hosts file of our local computer.
If you are new to the topic, you may want to take a look at the documentation.
Let’s return to the Menu (Products & services)
and select VPC network from the Networking section.
Let me pin it, so it will appear under Home.
Here we have the External IP addresses page.
Click Reserve static address.
Give the address a name - I will use the same name as the VM - and optionally, add a description.
IP version: for our purposes, I will use IPv4.
Type: Regional is fine.
I am the only using it.
Region: use the same region as the VM.
It is probably already selected.
Then we are going to attach the IP and I will use the VM we just created: hxehost-vm
Click Reserve
There will be small charge for fixed IP’s.
It is not much, but if you delete the VM, consider deleting the fixed IP as well unless
you want to reuse if, of course.
The other way how you can attach an IP to a VM is through the VM menu.
So, menu (Products & Services), Compute Engine - let’s pin this one, as well -
VM instances.
Select the VM.
Select Edit.
Then, under Network interfaces, select the pencil to edit the default network interface card, nic0,
and then under External IP, you can select the one we just created.
Here it is already attached, of course, so I will cancel.
Let’s return Home.
And we are done.
In the next video, we will connect to our VM using an SSH session
and perform the initial pre configuration steps.
