To enable HA for SAP MaxDB to make SAP MaxDB highly available, additional installation and configuration operations are required. These operations supplement the standard installation and standard configuration of SAP MaxDB.
During a standard installation, SAP MaxDB is installed with a physical host name. To enable SAP MaxDB to run in a cluster, you must modify SAP MaxDB to use a logical hostname.
For information about the standard installation and standard configuration of SAP MaxDB, see the following documentation:
If you are using SAP MaxDB with SAP NetWeaver, see the SAP NetWeaver documentation for information about how to install and configure SAP NetWeaver with SAP MaxDB.
If you are using SAP MaxDB independently of SAP NetWeaver, see the SAP MaxDB documentation.
