Running HanaDB
This tutorial shows how to run a SAP HANA database with KubeDB.
Note: YAML files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/examples/hanadb/quickstart.
Before You Begin
- Prepare a Kubernetes cluster and
kubectl. - Install KubeDB from /docs/setup/README.md.
- This tutorial uses
docs/examples/hanadb/quickstart/system-replication.yamlas the working example manifest. - Create namespace:
kubectl create ns demo
Check Available StorageClass
kubectl get storageclass
The example manifests use storageClassName: local-path and request 64Gi storage for each HanaDB pod. Update the storage class if your cluster uses a different provisioner.
Check Available HanaDBVersion
kubectl get hanadbversions
Create a HanaDB Cluster
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: HanaDB
metadata:
name: hanadb-cluster
namespace: demo
spec:
version: "2.0.82"
replicas: 3
storageType: "Durable"
topology:
mode: SystemReplication
systemReplication:
replicationMode: fullsync
operationMode: logreplay_readaccess
storage:
accessModes: ["ReadWriteOnce"]
resources:
requests:
storage: 64Gi
storageClassName: local-path
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2026.4.27/docs/examples/hanadb/quickstart/system-replication.yaml
kubectl get hanadb -n demo hanadb-cluster -w
Verify the Cluster
kubectl get hanadb -n demo
kubectl describe hanadb -n demo hanadb-cluster
When status.phase becomes Ready, the HanaDB deployment is ready for application traffic.
Cleaning up
kubectl delete hanadb -n demo hanadb-cluster
kubectl delete ns demo
