Preparing Resources

To ensure smooth migration, you need to perform the following operations:

  1. Prepare the network environment.
    1. Follow the descriptions in Networking Plan to interconnect the source server with HUAWEI CLOUD, establish network connectivity using Cloud Connect, and configure VPN. For details, see SAP Deployment Guide.
    2. Set up the HUAWEI CLOUD network environment, including creating VPCs, subnets, and security groups. For details, see the related section in the SAP Deployment Guide.
  2. Prepare software tools required for the migration, such as SAP migration software and specific database migration tool.
  3. Prepare resources at the source end.
    1. Back up the data at the source end, including important files and software installation packages. You are advised to back up the data to HUAWEI CLOUD OBS.
    2. Check the source server settings. Check whether the source server OS meets migration requirements by referring to OSs Supported by Different Types of ECSs, and check the data volume on the source server.
  4. Prepare resources at the target end.
    1. Provision HUAWEI CLOUD server resources based on Deployment Plan.
    2. Set the security parameters based on Security Design.
    3. Purchase OBS, SFS, OMS, and DES on HUAWEI CLOUD as required.
