Pre-Installation Considerations

Before you install the SAP software, see "Installing and Configuring SAP and Database", install SAP binaries and SAP users' home directories. Install SAP binaries and users' home directories on a cluster file system. Installation on a cluster file system, however, has some drawbacks with SAP software release upgrades. See "Determining the Location of the Application Binaries" on page 3 for information about drawbacks.
