Description

In this scenario, you migrate an SAP system that is deployed on an X86 physical machine in your on-premises data center or VMWare VM. The supported OSs of servers are listed in OSs Supported by Different Types of ECSs. There is no restriction on the database. After the migration to HUAWEI CLOUD, the database and OS remain unchanged.

Use HUAWEI CLOUD Server Migration Service to migrate SAP application servers without service interruption, replicating off-cloud servers to HUAWEI CLOUD. For database migration:

  • Non-production system database: If there is no requirement on database downtime, use Server Migration Service to migrate the database offline.
  • Production system database: To reduce the service downtime, use the native database migration tool to migrate the database.

Figure 1 shows the migration plan.
