MaxDB Storage Considerations
Serviceguard Extension for SAP on Linux supports current MaxDB,
liveCache and older SAPDB releases. The considerations made below
will apply similarly to MaxDB, liveCache and SAPDB clusters unless
otherwise noticed.
MaxDB distinguishes an instance dependant path /sapdb/<DBSID> and
two instance independent paths, called IndepData and IndepPrograms.
By default all three point to a directory below /sapdb.
The paths can be configured in a configuration file called
SAP_DBTech.ini. Depending on the version of the MaxDB database this
file contains different sections and settings.
A sample SAP_DBTech.ini for a host with a MaxDB/SAPDB 7.4 (LC1)
and an APO 3.1 using a MaxDB/SAPDB 7.3 database instance (AP1):
/var/spool/sql/ini/SAP_DBTech.ini
