Configuring the master server for NetBackup SAP HANA
When you configure the master server for SAP HANA, you must make the following additional changes:
You must add the media server to the list of servers that the client will accept connections from. To add the media server:
Select Host Properties > Clients (select the client) > Properties > Servers > Additional Servers > Add.
Configure the maximum number of concurrent jobs in the selected storage unit.
The maximum concurrent jobs setting on the storage unit specifies the maximum number of jobs that NetBackup can send to a disk storage unit at one time. The default setting is one job and the job count can range from 0 to 256. For SAP policy type, configured for HANA, set this value to a value greater than 64.
For SAP policy type (specifically for HANA), when the storage unit is Advanced Disk type, or MSDP, set the Maximum Jobs Per Client setting to a value in accordance to the value of the Maximum Streams Per Drive * number of drives. Set the Maximum Jobs Per Policy setting to a value higher than the value of Maximum Streams Per Drive * number of drives. For example, if you have 2 drives and Maximum Streams Per Drive is set to 3, the total expected jobs to that storage unit is 6.
Set the logging level.
Set value of the maximum jobs per client.
Create a SAP HANA-specific backup policy.
