Hi Zied,

You can have the required number instances as long as it satisfies the pre-requisites for installing a fresh instance.

It would mainly be dependent on RAM, Hard disk space and swap space(twice the amount of Ram required for the new instance) other factors like OS type and processor type should not be a concern as you already have an one instance up and running.

Thanks

Hi,

You can install multiple SAP instance on a single Server. You may need to ensure the following

1) Server has higher RAM and CPU resources

2) Server has enough disk space to accomodate data from these installations, OS as well as Swap requirement

3) For Windows, ensure that /usr/sap is kept in the same drive for all SAP installations. This is due to the reason that, we can have only 1 share name with sapmnt or saploc.

Hi,

Yes, you can install 2 SID on same box if you have sufficient hardware like memory on that box.

Hi,

You can install two or three SAP Server on different drives or on the same drives. You should have good RAM and CPU's.

Otherwise your system will be dead slow. (or) wont start.

Hi,

If your server runs Windows OS, you have to install the second system on the same disk drive as the first one because of the single shared directories saploc and sapmnt.

Hi,

Yes can run SAP system of different product version on the same hardware - provided the OS/DB version requirements are sufficed for both the product version and the hardware is able to support both system resources wise.

If its a productive setup, really not recommended to have two systems on one server. Please check below links:
