Two SAP Instances in High Availability cluster - SGeSAP - HPUX

[Former Member]

Dear All

We want to install 2 SAP instances in single host with DB and CI separately. DB and CI will be on High Availabilty Cluster using SGeSAP for HP - Unix. The database is Oracle 10g.

Does SAP support multiple instance on the same hosts(DB and CI) for HA option.

Kindly inform

Regards

Lakshmi,

Generally multiple instance on the same hosts are not recmd by SAP and Oracle for Production Env.

Yes it is possible to run two SAP systems on same cluster using SGeSAP. Normally If there is only one system on the cluster DB is configured on one node and CI is configured on the second node, with fail over in case of a node failure. In your case if a node fails one node will be running two DB and two CI instances. You have to size the hardware accordingly. Just FYI, SGeSAP is licensed per SAP System.
