2021-02-17T08:25:15.592739+00:00 hec45v121180 SAPHanaTopology(rsc_SAPHanaTopology_HEB_HDB02)[347536]: INFO: RA ==== end action monitor_clone with rc=0 (0.164.0) (3s)==== 2021-02-17T08:25:16.949090+00:00 hec45v121180 SAPHanaController(rsc_SAPHanaController_HEB_HDB02)[107918]: ERROR: ACT: SAPHANA: System HEB-HDB02 start failed: #01217.02.2021 08:25:16#012WaitforStarted#012FAIL: Timeout 2021-02-17T08:25:17.060321+00:00 hec45v121180 SAPHanaController(rsc_SAPHanaController_HEB_HDB02)[107918]: INFO: RA ==== end action start_clone with rc=1 (0.164.0) (3604s)==== 2021-02-17T08:25:17.062424+00:00 hec45v121180 lrmd[92063]:   notice: finished - rsc:rsc_SAPHanaController_HEB_HDB02 action:start call_id:38 pid:107918 exit-code:1 exec-time:3603556ms queue-time:0ms 2021-02-17T08:25:17.062842+00:00 hec45v121180 crmd[92066]:   notice: Result of start operation for rsc_SAPHanaController_HEB_HDB02 on hec45v121180: 1 (unknown error) 2021-02-17T08:25:17.063016+00:00 hec45v121180 crmd[92066]:   notice: hec45v121180-rsc_SAPHanaController_HEB_HDB02_start_0:38 [ 1:P:master1:master:worker:master\nSOK\n ] 2021-02-17T08:25:17.065503+00:00 hec45v121180 stonith-ng[92062]:   notice: Watchdog will be used via SBD if fencing is required 2021-02-17T08:25:17.120832+00:00 hec45v121180 lrmd[92063]:   notice: executing - rsc:rsc_SAPHanaController_HEB_HDB02 action:stop call_id:39

Resolution

Workaround:
In /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/suse/SAPHanaController change the line:

# TODO: PRIO9: something more dynamic than 3600 seconds in WaitforStarted
    output=$($SAPCONTROL -nr $InstanceNr -function WaitforStarted 3600 1)

to:

# TODO: PRIO9: something more dynamic than 3600 seconds in WaitforStarted
output=$($SAPCONTROL -nr $InstanceNr -function WaitforStarted 7200 1)

Issue has been resolved in the following version (or higher):

SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for SAP Applications 15): SAPHanaSR-ScaleOut-0.180.1-3.19.1
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12: SAPHanaSR-ScaleOut-0.180.1-3.23.1

Cause

In some environments the SAP Hana database needs more then the hard-coded 3600 seconds timeout to start.
