HA for SAP Overview

Use the information in this section to understand how HA for SAP makes SAP highly available.

For conceptual information about failover and scalable services, see the Oracle Solaris Cluster Concepts Guide.

HA for SAP provides fault monitoring and automatic failover for the SAP application to eliminate single points of failure in an SAP system. The following table lists the data services that best protect SAP components in a Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration. You can configure HA for SAP as a failover application or a scalable application.

Table 1-1 Protection of SAP Components

SAP Component
Protected by
SAP database
The data service for the database that you are using, for example:
  • For the MaxDB database, the data service is Solaris Cluster HA for MaxDB.

  • For the Oracle database, the data service is HA for Oracle.

SAP central instance
HA for SAP

The resource type is SUNW.sap_ci or SUNW.sap_ci_v2.

SAP application server
HA for SAP

The resource type is SUNW.sap_as or SUNW.sap_as_v2.

NFS file system
HA for NFS

HA for SAP requires a functioning cluster with the initial cluster framework already installed. See the Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide for details on initial installation of clusters and data service software. Register HA for SAP after you successfully install the basic components of the Oracle Solaris Cluster and SAP software.
