This guide describes a highly available SAP landscape running on VMware vSphere and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 on Dell servers and centralized SAN or NAS storage. The guide provides the requirements and implementation details for this landscape and availability guidance for planned software and hardware maintenance. Dell SAP engineering tested this setup with SLES 15 SP4. While other service packs should also work, they might require minor adjustments in the setup and configuration.
This document is intended for IT staff who are responsible for planning or implementing a highly available SAP landscape that is running fully or partly virtualized on VMware vSphere. Familiarity with VMware, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and SAP technologies is recommended.
