Multiple SAP system on single physical server.

[Former Member]

Hello Experts.

We are in process of implementaing SAP solution withLandscpe having systems ECC 6.0, SolMan 4.0, BI. We are planning to have 3 Sytem landscape for all.

Now but currently we are having only one Physical server

Is it possible to Install 6 SAP system on single server?(DEV and QAS for ECC, Solman, BI respectively). The server is having sufficient hardware for 6 system as per sap standered. Planne OS is RHEL and DB MaxDB. Initially we are having 16 GB RAM extendable.

Will SAP support such kind of landscape?

Hi Nikhil,

Yes, is possible to install the 6 systems in the same box but NOT RECOMMENDABLE as this will mean all systems will share resources and be connected to the same DB.

Now... I can't see a reason why SAP won't support this enviroment but as mentioned before this is not the ideal scenario. This will be fine if you're planning your DEV or QA enviroment but not production as is potentially unstable.

Hello

We are not planning to combine Production system.

We are planning to put diffrent DEV+QAS on one system and Prod on diffrent servers.

Also we are using MAXDB as database does such type of installation possible with MAXDB

[JPReyes · Accepted solution]

Yes, is possible. You can have several instances as in any other Database.

Again.. not recommendable but possible.

We are having only 146Gb of Harddisk in our physiscal server.For additional storage we are getting NAS. As we dont have done installation using this, dont know this scenario.

We are planning to store the datapart of the DB in NAS ...Is there anything that differs with the normal installation if we use NAS ? Could please throw some lights on this.

Thanks

Hi Nikhil

Just my two cents:

Never put non-prod/prod systems on the same server, how would you test os patches, what if system wide components cause problems, what if - for example - you want to upgrade your database on the dev system, but you need a new library, which is not compatible to the version needed by the prod system.

Your single linux box will not be big enough to hold all these systems, trust me. And x86_64 hw is sooo cheap ))
