Restart the HANA database


If you have changed the hostnames, you need to stop the HANA database: Change to user hdbadm (use
command ls -l hdbadm) and then stop the database with command HDB stop:

After the database has stopped (wait a few minutes), restart the database with command HDB start.
Note: If you are going to shutdown the HANA DB VMWare image, you need
to stop the DB with command HDB stop.

Register the HANA DB in HANA DB Studio


Create a shortcut of HANA DB studio in your HANA Linux vm image:
