Configuring SAP HANA instance for redirected restore
SAP HANA Platform SPS 09 and later have a new feature: redirected restore of an SAP HANA instance to another SAP HANA instance. With NetBackup release 7.7.1 and later, the NetBackup SAP HANA agent also supports this feature.
Note:
For additional information about SAP HANA Multi-Tenant Database Containers, see the SAP documentation.
To configure an SAP HANA instance to support redirected restores
- Add all destination instance of SAP HANA hosts in the source instance NetBackup policy.
Ensure the backup policy name is the same in the source and target
initSAP.utlfile. For more details on adding the destination host client from the Clients tab, see See Creating a backup policy for SAP HANA. - Add the current source SAP HANA master node name in the destination SAP HANA Master node file. Open the node file from the following location:
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sap/node_names.txtFor more details on node-level cofiguration, see See Configuring the SAP HANA Agent.
- Follow the steps in the Copying a Database Using Third-Party Backup Tools topic in the SAP HANA Administration Guide. This topic describes the requirements to use the $(SAPSYSTEMNAME) in the SAP HANA configuration.
