Adding RAM, Do I need to reinstall SUSE because of the partitions size?

I'm woking on a SAP B1 for HANA Implementation and the client has decided to add more RAM to the server. During SUSE installation some partitions where made where their partitions where conditioned to the installed RAM.

So, my question is: Do I need to reinstall SUSE OS if I'm going to add RAM, and eventually reinstalling HANA and SAP Server, or is it possible to make the upgrade without doing all this?

thanks for your replies

Hi,

We had additional RAM added into our Distributed HANA nodes

We doubled the RAM and it does not need any reinstallation

But you will need to resize the entire HANA Storage disk layout to follow the standards of atleast Data drives 3 or 4 times the memory and log drive 2 times the memory

This activity needs planning and has to involve the HANA Installation specialist from the Hardware provider to resize the storage disks

In our case the resize did not need a reinstallation, but things might be different with each hardware vendor so please clarify this with the vendor
