This section is applicable to both FC SAN and NAS/NFS deployments. The SAP HANA shared file system is used for the SAP HANA binary, trace, and some configuration files. The shared file system must be mounted under the /hana/shared mount point. In SAP HANA single-node (scale-up) systems, the file system can reside on a block volume using the XFS file system. For SAP HANA scale-out systems, this file system must be shared across all scale-out nodes, including worker and standby nodes.
Note: The /hana/shared file system must be shared on all hosts on SAP HANA scale-out systems in both FC SAN and NAS/NFS deployments.
To create a NAS/NFS shared file system on a PowerStore system, follow these steps in the PowerStore Manager UI. If NAS servers already exist in the UI, skip these steps.

Mount the HANA shared file system on the SAP HANA host
On the SAP HANA host:
mkdir -p /hana/shared
<NAS Server>:/hanashared /hana/shared nfs4 rw,bg,hard,timeo=600,intr,noatime,vers=4.0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,lock,_netdev 0 0
where <NAS Server> is the IP address or hostname of your NAS server on the PowerStore system.
If you are using NFSv3, adjust the NFS version.
