Configuring the primary server for NetBackup SAP HANA

When you configure the primary server for SAP HANA, you must make the following additional changes:

  • You must add the media server to the list of servers that the client accepts connections from. To add the media server:

    • On the left select Hosts > Host properties.

      Select the client and then select Edit client.

      Select Servers > Additional Servers. Then select Add.

  • Configure the maximum number of concurrent jobs in the selected storage unit.

    The maximum concurrent jobs setting on the storage unit specifies the maximum number of jobs that NetBackup can send to a disk storage unit at one time. The default setting is one job and the job count can range from 0 to 256. For an SAP policy type that is configured for HANA, set this value to a value greater than 64.

    For an SAP policy type (specifically for HANA) when the storage unit is the AdvancedDisk type, or MSDP, set the following values:

    • Maximum jobs per client - Set to a value in accordance to the value of the Maximum Streams Per Drive * number of drives.

    • Set the Maximum jobs per policy - Set to a value higher than the value of Maximum Streams Per Drive * number of drives. For example, if you have two drives and Maximum streams per drive is set to 3, the total expected jobs to that storage unit is 6.

  • Set the logging level.

    See Setting the logging level.

  • Set the value of the maximum jobs per client.

    See Setting maximum jobs per client.

  • Create an SAP HANA-specific backup policy.

    See Creating a backup policy for SAP HANA.
