Creating SAP HANA ECSs

Two ECSs need to be created for installing the SAP HANA software.

Procedure

    AZ

    Specifies the AZ where ECSs are located. Choose an AZ as required.

    CPU Architecture

    Select x86.

    Specifications

    For details about SAP HANA ECS specifications, see SAP HANA ECS Planning.

    For example, select m3.8xlarge.8.

    NOTE:

    To use marketplace images, such as SUSE for SAP 15 SP1, ensure that your ECS is billed on a yearly/monthly basis.

    Cloud Backup and Recovery

    ECS Group (Optional)

    Specifies a HANA ECS group. When you create ECSs, the system will allocate the HANA ECSs in the same server group to different physical servers to ensure the running reliability of these HANA ECSs.

    NOTE:

    If no ECS group is available, perform the following operations to create one:

    Click Create ECS Group. On the displayed page, click Create ECS Group, specify the ECS group name, and click OK.

    Advanced Options

    Do not set this parameter.

  5. Click Next: Confirm.

    Check the ECS configurations and select I have read and agree to the Huawei Image Disclaimer. Click Next.

  6. Repeat 2 to 5 to create the ECS hana002 for the standby SAP HANA node.

    The procedure for creating the active and standby SAP HANA ECSs is similar. You do not need to create SBD shared volume when creating the standby SAP HANA ECS because you can mount the SBD shared volume created for the active SAP HANA ECS to the standby ECS.
