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

Note 1644520 - Integration of IBM Components into SAP LVM
15
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 Automation Use Cases
Unified view at the SAP
landscape
Monitoring
16
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
SAP Automation Use Cases
Start / Stop VM (incl. SAP
System)
Relocate VM (incl. SAP
System) with or without
downtime
Perform mass operations
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
SAP Automation Use Cases
Start / Stop SAP system
Relocate SAP system with
downtime
Perform mass operations
18
SAP LVM Advanced operation: Operating System Provisioning via SAP LVM Create new AIX LPAR using FSM
SAP Automation Use Cases
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 Automation Use Cases
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
