Symptom
This is the official release note for SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tools.
SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tools help you to measure and analyze your hardware or cloud systems before deploying SAP HANA or applying for SAP HANA certification. The tools consist of the following components:
- SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tool
- SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement analysis
Other Terms
SAP HANA Platform; SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement analysis; SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tool; HCMT; SAP HANA hardware and cloud optimization tools
Reason and Prerequisites
The SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tool is generally available to measure the configuration and performance of hardware and cloud systems intended for deployment of SAP HANA 2.0 or higher. For deployment of SAP HANA 1.0, refer to SAP Note 1943937.
Solution
You can download the tool from the SAP Support Portal at https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/softwarecenter --> SUPPORT PACKAGES & PATCHES --> Search for: “hana optim”.
The SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tools download package is displayed: HANA HW CLOUD OPTIM TOOLS 2.0.
For instructions on how to download, install and use the SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tools, see the SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tools guide that is available on SAP Help Portal at https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/HANA_HW_CLOUD_TOOLS/latest/en-US.
Update June 10, 2020:
It is now possible to share systems with other users. For more information, see the abovementioned guide.
First extract the tool using SAPCAR
It will have setup folder, navigate into the folder and install the tool using hcmtsetup command
After setup, the following folder structure is available:
The SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tool performs a series of automated tests, for example network tests, file system consistency tests, system management BIOS tests, and CPU benchmark tests.
The duration and repeat rate of the tests depends on the type of execution plan that you intend to run.
the following execution plans are available:
executionplan.json – Default execution plan that helps you to check if the KPIs for SAP HANA certification are met.
full_executionplan.json – Performs the same tests as the default execution plan, but has a higher test repeat rate and thus a longer test duration. This test is used for SAP HANA certification.
So for people who wants to validate HANA server before installing should use executionplan.json plan to test their HANA servers
Prerequisites
- You have installed the latest version of the SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tool on the system.
- You have at least 20 GB of free storage space in the location where SAP HANA data can be placed during the test.
- When using nonvolatile memory, mounts for all hosts or an alias of the same name must be available.
- Port 50001 must be open for communication.
NOTE: This tool will run for a while, so make sure you run this tool in one of your jump server.
# ./hcmt -v -p <path>/setup/config/executionplan.json
Once the execution is completed it will create a file named hcmtresult-<dateandtime>.zip inside the same folder. Transfer that zip file into you desktop
We need to upload the measurement results file and analyze the results to see whether the systems meet the configuration and performance requirements.

Analyzing the Measurement Results
SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement analysis provides a graphical and textual representation of your measurement results. It allows you to see which parts of your system are doing well and which parts may need some changes or improvements to achieve the required performance.
You can read the pdf attached to SAP Note 2493172 on how to analyze the result..
Pro’s
- Nice centralized repository for all of our HANA Server checks
- Graphical insight but tedious to interpret result.
Con’s
- Difficult to read or get insight from the uploaded measurement as the result is not provided in the form of dashboard which can be drilled down to get more insight (like S/4HANA Readiness Check)
- Currently there is no option to share the result to other S-User
- I would rather prefer a quick summary in one file like below from HWCCT tool over individual selection
But as SAP suggested that
