Change Hardware Sun Sparc to Sun X_64 under SAP R/3 4.7x200 and Oracle 10.2

[Former Member]

Hello,

we want change the Hardware fro SUN Sparc to Sun X64.

The System is SAP R3/Enterprise 47x200 with Oracle Database 10.2.02.

We have one DB-Server and one Application-Server on two SUN Sparc V880 and Veritas Cluster Manager.

When i look to the PAM (Product Availibility Matrix) and SAP-Note 407314 i find this Remark:

+ For the 6.40 Kernel the Solaris x64 platform is supported only for adding ABAP application servers

to existing systems. Running a 6.40 ASCS or database against a 6.40 kernel on Solaris x64 is

not supported by SAP

+ Oracle Enterprise Edition only

+ At least Oracle patchset 10.2.0.2 required.

+ Connection to Oracle 9.2 and 10.2 server release supported

When i look to SUN: http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4600/features.xml

i find this Remark:

A First in x64 Scalability

Scale-up architecture

Enterprise-class 8-processor dual-core SMP computing for Oracle, SAP, Sun JAVA Infrastructure, VMware server consolidation, MS SQL Server and many more.

There are any experiences with this machines ?

We run several boxes on Solaris X86_64 with zones and with/on ZFS, they are doing very fine

However, with 4.7 you won´t have any chance to run on x86_64, you need to upgrade to ERP 2005 (7.00 based product) first.

or use this box with Operating System Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition for X64, if supported (as far as i know it is).

But - this is normaly no option for Unix guys....

In case of alternatives I'd prefer Linux x86_64 on that box

well - that was the alternative I was afraid of .....

you know - I am Windows centric even if I run Kubuntu at home.

I like both.
