Preparing the source and target SAP systems
Before you configure in SAP NW LVM, complete the following preparation steps for the source
and target SAP systems:
1.
Create mount directories with specific user permissions and user groups on the target server
similar to that of the Source system.
2. Install the Storage library in the SAP host agent directory and restart the SAP host agent, on
both source and target servers. For Windows, extract the .zip file into the directory. For
HP-UX, extract the .tar file into the directory.
3. HP recommends you to run multipath on the source SAP landscape system to ensure that the
LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) presented on the server are active.
4. Verify connectivity of the HP 3PAR/XP Storage arrays to the target servers. HP 3PAR/XP
connectivity can be verified using the 3PARInfo or XPInfo tools.
NOTE: The XPInfo and 3PARInfo tools are bundled with the Storage Library for Windows
target systems.
5. Configure the landscape in SAP NW LVM.
