SAP on HP-UX Hardware.

Hi,

I want to know is it possible to have only Production Instance running on HP Itanium architecture hardware and DEV/QA instance on PA-RISC architecture hardware. Will there be any problem with testing for e.g. if some testing has been done on DEV/QA and later if we transport those changes to Production will it work? Or will be there any other problem?

Thanks,

Narendra

Yes,

As mentioned by Micheal - It creates lots of issues which you cannot even identify and reproduce in your test environment

Just use same architecture for your entire landscape.

Hi

there will be separate kernel so it will give much issue at os level.

also its not good practice.

thanks

Hello,

The only issue would be with kernel updates.

They use different kernels. Would have different ct_run directories

to apply kernel patches

1104735 - Upgrade to new instance-specific directory on UNIX

Theoretically possible, but you should never do that:

- different SAP Kernels (as mentioned)

- if the DB runs on the same server, different DB software

- 11.31 does not run on all PA-RISC hardware

- not possible to compare application performance before running in production

You will encounter situations where a problem occurs only on the prod environment and you definitely don't want this to happen. Always try to keep your landscape simple and homogeneous. This saves you a lot of trouble in the long run.

Transport request is a hardware independent issue. You shouldn't face with a problem.
