Some typical challenges for the admin teams Typical SAP customer landscape of today:

•10..800 SAP Systems

•10..800 databases

•1..500 servers

•3rd party software

•Multi-serverSAP installations are heterogeneous

I need to provision a new SAP

system for the project: Which

physical resources are available in

my resource pool?

The installation of a new SAP

system takes more than two weeks

as I need to wait for the

deliverables of the IT infrastructure

team.

A SAP System Copy takes three

days with all the post-processing –

I can’t handle all those requests.

I need to work on all these

requests for the SAP Basis team:

Is there no possibility to enable a

kind of self service for them?

SAP specific „on-premise Cloud“ Use Cases Use Case Sample Scenario Comment

1. Virtualization topology &

monitoring

Monitoring of IT infrastructure via

SAP LVM GUI

2. Relocate SAP System between

existing OSs

Move existing SAP system to

different OS version

Classical SAP ACC relocate with

global filesystem (NFS, GPFS)

3. Relocate virtual system

between phys. machines

Move existing OS instance+SAP

to different servers (HW

maintenance, HW exchange)

The PowerVM provides this

functionality directly without using

SAP LVM.

4. OS provisioning Create a new OS instance via

SAP LVM GUI

5. Clone SAP System 1:1 copy of existing SAP instance

for testing reasons

Network fencing to isolate the

system

6. Copy SAP System 1:1 copy of existing SAP instance

plus integration into existing

landscape

Includes SAP System rename and

PostCopyAutomation

7. Refresh SAP System 1:1 copy of existing SAP instance

plus integration into existing

landscape

Includes SAP System rename and

PostCopyAutomation, export/

reimport customized settings

IBM Integration to SAP NetWeaver Landscape Virtualization Management

• The server team and storage team delegate access to their management

tools to SAP LVM

–IBM Power Systems

–IBM System x

–Storage

• The SAP Basis administrator is empowered to manage all the

virtualization and storage entities underneath the SAP system

–OS and storage deployment

–Integration of Post Copy Automation into an unattended end-to-end

workflows without any manual intervention/ hand-over in between

–“Single Source of truth” (at runtime) for mapping of SAP systems, virtual, and

physical resources

–Ability for “Mass Operations”

SAP LVM Monitoring Landscape-wide Overview & System Monitoring

– Dashboards

• Provide a status overview of services and resources

• Show running activities

– Graphical overviews of all layers

• Available landscapes, with infrastructure and system

details

• Integrated virtualization technology

• Available networks with physical and virtual hosts

– Reports

• Compare recent performance data

At a glance, you get a landscape-wide overview of services and resources

including health checks and performance data, which provides operational

benefits and adaptability.

SAP LVM Basic Operations LPAR activate, deactivate, shutdown running OS and relocate

– Integration of IBM Systems Director,

IBM Flex System Manager and

HMC enables LPAR activation, deactivation

and relocation using Live Partition Mobility

• “Live” means, the system is up and running while being migrated

– Balance Performance Peaks / Manage SAP System Growth

– Perform a live migration of a system running in a virtual machine

in order to adjust to different workload situations

– Hardware Maintenance

• Migrate a VM with a running SAP system to another VM on a different physical server


Start / Stop VM (incl. SAP

System)

Relocate VM (incl. SAP

System) with or without

downtime


17

SAP LVM Basic Operations SAP storage volume attach, detach and relocate

– Integration of storage interfaces enables

relocation

of adaptive SAP systems between different LPARs

• XIV, GPFS and NFS interfaces are already supported

• SVC integration is planned

• SAN storage volumes must be attached using NPIV

• SAN zoning must be preconfigured

– SAP LVM detaches storage volumes from one OS

and attaches them to another one

– OS Maintenance

• Migrate an SAP system from one OS level to another

one


Start / Stop SAP system

Relocate SAP system with

downtime


18

SAP LVM Advanced operation: Operating System Provisioning via SAP LVM Create new AIX LPAR using FSM


Provisioning of VM, OS, SAP

clients

– Integration of IBM Flex System

Manager enables provisioning of

new AIX LPARs

– A NIM mksysb image or another LPAR

is taken as master

– As result – a new provisioned partition

is

registered within SAP LVM

– and may be used in other SAP LVM

scenarios (e.g. as target for a SAP

system copy)

19

Operating System Provisioning via SAP LVM Configure OS provisioning process

20

SAP System Copy via SAP LVM Fast deployment for System Clones / System Copies and System Refreshs of existing systems


SAP System Cloning, Copy,

Refresh

– Integration of IBM Tivoli Storage

FlashCopy Manager for the creation of

“SnapShots” in the storage system

for the Clone / Copy / Refresh process

– Both SAP Instance and Database

instance are created during the

Copy/ Clone process

– The newly created system is fenced

(network isolation) before it is started
