HPE OneView and ConvergedSystem SAP HANA
Appliances
IMPORTANT:
Do not edit the configuration of an HPE SAP HANA appliance using HPE OneView in
Manage mode. These changes could impact the integrity of the appliance. For assistance with
updating your SAP HANA appliance, contact your HPE Pointnext services representative.
The best practice for using HPE OneView with an CS500 for SAP HANA appliance is to monitor, but not
manage. When you install HPE OneView with CS500 SAP HANA appliances, select Monitor mode.
For CS500 for SAP HANA appliances, HPE does not recommend enabling the remote monitoring
capabilities of HPE OneView. Enabling HPE OneView remote monitoring would override the HPE Insight
Remote Support (HPE IRS) solution configuration information, impacting proper case routing for your
SAP HANA appliance to the appropriate HANA support resources.
When using both HPE IRS and HPE OneView to monitor a CS500 SAP HANA appliance, use HPE IRS
for remote monitoring and use HPE OneView for local monitoring of devices. HPE recommends engaging
HPE Pointnext Services to configure HPE IRS or HPE OneView on your CS500 for SAP HANA appliance.

SAP HANA best practices
Avoid system outage
To avoid system outage, follow these guidelines:
• Schedule installation of updates (drivers and firmware) for SAP HANA ConvergedSystem periodically
with HPE personnel.
• If you have IBRIX storage, reboot IBRIX systems once every 496 days or earlier.
This reboot avoids the known issue with IBRIX. For more information about this issue, see customer
advisory at
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center
.
• Ensure that there is sufficient free space available on the SAP HANA file systems including HANA
shared, data, and log.
