You will find the necessary copy function in SAP HANA Studio to scale out and scale up a distributed landscape. Storage options In single-host SAP HANA systems, itis possible to use plain attached storage devices, such as SCSI hard drives, SSDs, or SANs. However, in order to build a multi-host system with failover eapabilities, the storage must ensure the following: ‘© The standby host has file access. ‘© The failed worker host no longer has access to write to files - called fencing, ‘There are two fundamentally different storage configurations which meet the two conditions above: shared storage devices or separate storage devices with failover reassignment. A shared storage subsystem, such as NFS or IBM’s GPFS, is the commonly used storage option because it is easy to ensure that the standby host has access to all active host files inthe system, Ina shared storage solution, the extemally attached storage subsystem devices are capable of providing dynamic mount points for hosts. Since shared storage subsystems vary in their handling of fencing, itis the responsiblity ofthe hardware partner and their storage partners to develop a corruption-safe failover solution. A shared storage system could be configured as inthe grafic below, however mounts may differ among hardware partners and their configurations. EY 76 (©2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company.
