Preface
The previous slides presented server-
and storage characteristic information marked
by alphabetic letters for use in the following slides. By combining the specifications
from the T-shirt sizing data with the hardware data, you can build individual system
landscapes and/or size the required components. Configuration and budgeting
(German list price) details can be extracted from a separate Excel worksheet.
•
Extra information on the server systems:
•
As SAP (especially Java) generally allocates a huge amount of system resources, we
recommend to apply a minimum of 8-
optimal 16 GB RAM per server system; as well as
for non-productive systems (behold server sizing categories A & I).
•
All systems should be configured with redundant options such as host bus controller; fans
and power supplies (see server configuration layout in the Excel
sheet).
•
For booting from SAN, you have to plan internal server disks for
the page file anyway,
otherwise performance problems will arise.
•
Extra information to the storage solutions:
