Scope of this document
The document is not intended to be a step-by-step description of how to setup the complete environment but will cover concepts and relevant details related to:
-
Setup of SAP HANA systems with VMware VMFS
-
SnapMirror active sync configuration for SAP HANA
-
SnapCenter configuration for HANA on VMware with VMFS
-
SnapCenter configuration for SnapMirror active sync
-
SnapCenter operations with HANA on VMware and SnapMirror active sync
We will focus on a VMware Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC) configuration using a uniform access setup of SnapMirror active sync as shown in the figure below, but we will also briefly touch bare metal as well as non-uniform access configurations.
