About registering SAP HANA instances
To allow for full discovery of SAP HANA assets and to protect those assets, you must register instances with a credential.
Instances can be registered by manually registering individual instances.
When NetBackup discovers a SAP HANA cluster, it adds a single entry on the Instances tab. This instance represents all nodes in the cluster. The host name is the virtual name of the SAP HANA cluster. When you add credentials for this instance NetBackup validates the credentials on the active node. The credentials must be valid for all nodes in the cluster.
When NetBackup discovers a SAP HANA host that uses multiple NICs, it adds an entry using the NetBackup client name on the Instances tab. If you installed the NetBackup client using the public interface name, you must configure the NetBackup client name as the private interface name. Then add credentials to the instance with its private interface name. For a SAP HANA cluster that uses multiple NICs, add credentials to the instance with the private virtual name of the SAP HANA cluster.
After you register credentials, NetBackup validates the credentials and starts the database discovery.
For a SAP HANA cluster, NetBackup validates the credentials on the active node. The credentials must be valid for all nodes in the cluster. Note that the registered date reflects the date and time the credential was added or updated. It does not indicate if the credentials are valid.
