Link to Summary of SAP Partner integrations with SAP Landscape Virtualization Management 2.x
SAP Landscape Virtualization Management provides three main integration points for SAP Partner Technologies:
- Virtualization
- What: Integration into Virtual Machine (VM) management infrastructure
- Purpose: To manage, migrate, visualize and perform “VM-based clone".
- Note: A “VM-based clone” replicates data via the virtualization technology; Prerequisite is that all data is on virtual disks, e.g. “vmdk”
- Storage
- What: Integration into shared/centralized storage management infrastructure
- Purpose: To relocate adaptively installed SAP Systems and perform “Storage-based clone".
- Note: A “Storage-based clone” replicates data directly via Storage based cloning and/or snapshot technologies
- Management/Orchestration (“External Interfaces”)
- What: Integration with generic higher-level Management/Orchestration Software
- Purpose: To allow generic Management/Orchestration Software tools to control LVM operations
