Modular-style SAP application cluster packages
Generic hardware clustering technology needs to be extended and integrated with application
software clustering to create complete coverage of outages and to allow easy, effective
administration for the whole solution.
HP SGeSAP/LX A.06.00 introduces Serviceguard cluster modules for major SAP application
components on Linux platforms. In modular-style packaging, the application-specific cluster
configuration is integrated with the generic Serviceguard cluster configuration. Only one central
configuration is maintained for each package.
Seviceguard becomes enhanced by five major new modules.
The SAP instance module clusters one or multiple SAP Netweaver ABAP and or JAVA stack instances
that belong to a single SAP system ID. The module provides individual handling for a variety of
SAP instance types, including:
Central Instances
System Central Service Instances (for ABAP and or JAVA)
Enqueue Replication Service Instances
ABAP and JAVA Application Instances
Gateway Instances
Webdispatcher Instances, and
MDM instances
