Can SAP HANA be used with SAP LVM to provision customised copies of SAP systems within 24 hours?

[PaulRR]

I have a requirement to automate the provisioning of new and 'copies of' SAP systems (development and QA environments) within 24 hours.

• New systems created - based on a template (e.g. an existing SAP Portal, ECC or BW system)
• New systems should have unique SID's
• RFC's, IDOC's, printers, profiles, e-mail, etc. all needs to be customisable in each new SAP system
• The systems need to be shut down overnight (to save on running costs)

Is this possible with a combination of SAP HANA and SAP LVM?

Hi

SAP HANA in LVM will be doable in the near LVM 2.0 latest SP  which will come out probably around after october 14 but stay tune as the date might be pushed little due to development changes.

AFAIK from your questions some of the features will support and some already in LVM today.

• New systems created - based on a template (e.g. an existing SAP Portal, ECC or BW system) - BSuite on HANA will be supported.
• New systems should have unique SID's - LVM use cases such as COPY, CLONE, RENAME will be supported.
• RFC's, IDOC's, printers, profiles, e-mail, etc. all needs to be customisable in each new SAP system. Not sure but Post Copy Automation should allow to do this..
• The systems need to be shut down overnight (to save on running costs). All VM operations such as power off, power on will be normal as long as you configure VCENTER in LVM.

BR,

Rushi.
