5 Introduction Events, such as the global economic crisis, virtualization, and cloud computing, have fundamentally changed the way in which IT projects are evaluated. No longer can IT just rely on building a business case purely on cost savings. Mission-critical applications such, as SAP, are under greater scrutiny in terms of demonstrating tangible business value after implementation. This phenomenon provides a quandary for system integrators, lead architects, and general managers of applications on how to plan, design, and implement business continuity. Vblock Systems combine industry-leading compute, network, storage, virtualization, and management technologies into prepackaged units of infrastructure, which enables you to accelerate value add by focusing on business outcomes such as high availability capabilities and organizational efficiency rather than just products. About this document This paper describes the methodology used to install, configure, operate, and test a high-availability Vblock System solution for SAP systems using Symantec ApplicationHA. This document: Describes the technologies, hardware and software components, and architecture used in the solution. Provides design considerations and best practice recommendations for implementation. Solution overview Vblock Systems deliver leading-edge technology, while minimizing SAP operational and deployment risk. Vblock Systems include built-in high-availability capabilities, such as Cisco s Unified Computing System (UCS) service platform to restore any failed blade and VMware vsphere High Availability to automatically restart a virtual machine (VM) on other production servers with spare capacity in case of ESXi host failover. This solution uses the infrastructure high availability capabilities in a SAP application environment, VMware High Availability, and Symantec ApplicationHA on Vblock Systems. Symantec ApplicationHA provides monitoring capabilities for applications running inside the virtual machines hosted on ESXi hosts managed by a VMware vcenter Server. Symantec ApplicationHA adds a layer of application awareness to the core high-availability functionality offered by VMware virtualization technology. Symantec ApplicationHA is based on Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) and internally uses similar concepts, such as agents, resources, and service groups. The solution decreases the number of manual actions that SAP administrators and IT operations must perform for their organization to maintain a high degree of operational excellence as required by SAP best practices. This paper describes the overall solution configuration and SAP system refresh processes on Vblock System 700 model MX. 5
6 Objectives The objective of this paper is to validate the following use cases in a real-life scenario on a Vblock System 700 (valid for Vblock System 300 as well): Demonstrate deployment and enablement of the Vblock Solution for SAP Application High Availability in a virtualized environment. Use VMware High Availability with SAP to provide easy-to-use and cost-effective high availability for SAP. Validate the Vblock Solution for SAP Application High Availability for mission critical SAP applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), supplier relationship management (SRM), Enterprise Portal, Process Integration, and Business Information Warehouse (BW). Show the overall cost saving due to server cost reduction to provide high availability, because no cluster needs to be set up. The combination of VMware High Availability and other high-availability features of the Vblock System 720 provides SAP organizations with a powerful (yet cost-effective) high-availability solution to increase application uptime. This is accomplished by minimizing unplanned downtime and service interruption while eliminating dedicated (or standby) hardware, and additional installation software. This improves business continuity without increasing total cost of ownership (TCO). Audience This paper is intended for system administrators, network administrators, and architects, as well as technical engineering staff, IT managers, IT planners and other IT professionals who are evaluating, acquiring, managing, operating, or deploying SAP in a virtualized data center environment. All Vblock System existing and potential customers with a current or future SAP implementation will also benefit from the information in this paper.

8 SAP ERP Central Component SAP NetWeaver ERP Central Component (ECC) 6.0 was used to validate the solution. The SAP ERP application is integrated ERP software. It targets business software requirements of mid-size and large organizations in most industries and sectors. ECC 6.0 allows for open communication within and between all company functions, as well as with other businesses outside the firewall due to its services oriented architecture (SOA). VMware High Availability VMware High Availability provides easy-to-use, cost-effective high availability for applications running in virtual machines. In the event of physical server failure, affected virtual machines are restarted automatically on other production servers with spare capacity. In the case of operating system failure, VMware High Availability restarts the affected virtual machine on the same physical server. Symantec ApplicationHA Symantec ApplicationHA provides monitoring capabilities for applications running inside virtual machines hosted on ESXi hosts managed by a VMware vcenter Server. Symantec ApplicationHA adds a layer of application awareness to the core high-availability functionality offered by VMware virtualization technology. It integrates with VMware High Availability by using the VMware Application Awareness Application Programming Interface (API) to restart the virtual machine if application restarts do not succeed. Symantec ApplicationHA is based on Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) and internally uses similar concepts such as agents, resources, and service groups. 8
9 Architecture overview In this solution, Symantec ApplicationHA is installed on SAP systems using the following options: Central System SAP Central Instance and Database Instance run on the same host/virtual machine. The operating system used is RHEL 5.5 and the database used is Oracle Because it is a central system, the SAP central instance and Oracle database instances are installed on the same host/virtual machine. Two other options exist for installing Symantec ApplicationHA on SAP systems, but these are beyond the scope of this paper: Distributed system: SAP Central instance and Database instance run on separate hosts/virtual Machines. High-availability system Central Instance, Database Instance, and additional instances that are required for a highavailability system, such as Central Services Instance for ABAP (ASCS Instance) and Enqueue Replication Server Instance (ERS Instance) for ASCS Instance, run on separate hosts/virtual machines. Architecture diagram A VMware cluster should have two or more ESXi servers in it to turn on the high-availability feature. For this solution, three virtual machines that are hosted on three Cisco UCS Servers and EMC Storage Array are used. This solution demonstrates SAP operation and application monitoring by Symantec ApplicationHA. 9

Symantec ApplicationHA installed in the architecture 13
14 Storage and layout Storage on the Vblock System 700 used in this solution validation is provided by the Symmetrix VMAX Series architecture featuring the scalable Virtual Matrix interconnect design. The Virtual Matrix is redundant and dual active, and supports all global memory references, messaging, and management operations, including internal discovery and initialization, path management, load balancing, failover, and fault isolation within the array. The Symmetrix VMAX array contains from one to eight VMAX engines. Each VMAX engine contains two integrated directors. Each director has two connections to the VMAX Matrix Interface Board Enclosure (MIBE) through the system interface board (SIB) ports. Because every director has two separate physical paths to every other director through the Virtual Matrix, this is a highly available interconnect with no single point of failure. This design eliminates the need for separate interconnects for data, control, messaging, environmental, and system test. A single highly available interconnect suffices for all communications between the directors, which reduces complexity. The Symmetrix VMAX design is based on an individual Symmetrix VMAX engine with redundant CPU, memory, and connectivity on two directors for fault tolerance. Symmetrix VMAX engines connect to and scale out linearly through the Virtual Matrix Architecture, which allows resources to be shared within and across VMAX engines.
