8.2.4. Sizing¶
8.2.4.1. Stipulating SAPS Values Based Upon Quick Sizer¶
- Quick Sizer is architecturally configured as a Web-based tool where SAP Business Suite sizing measurement is to be undertaken. Whatever that is the required information that Customers are to obtain, simultaneously connected users, data footprints, and such whatever the requirements of hardware will be duly given to be stipulated as memory size in SAP sizing values.
- The values of such sizing results do not include those of add-on program or customized overheads.
- Customers are requested to select servers based accordingly upon the actual system configurations. As with the Quick Sizer details, Customers are advised to refer to the documentation in SAP-Offered Documents
8.2.4.2. SAP Select Capacities for Baremetal Server and Storage for SAP HANA Server¶
Flavor | VirtualCPU | Memory | Reference SAPS Values Not Available with Unicode | Reference SAPS Values Available with Unicode |
---|---|---|---|---|
General Purpose 2 | E5-2670v3 2P/24C | 256GB | 59,900 | 47,900 |
Note
As with Baremetal Server that is greater in memory size than 256GB, such will be introduced in time.
FileSystem | Mount Point | Storage Menu | Recommended Storage Size |
---|---|---|---|
Data Volume | /hana/data | 400MB/s | HANA Server Memory size ×1 |
Logged Volume | /hana/log | 250MB/s | HANA Server Memory size ×0.5 |
Installation Path | /hana/shared | 100MB/s | HANA Server Memory size ×1 |
System Instance | /usr/sap | − | More than 50GB |
Note
Backup storage of SAP HANA Deployed TDI with RedHat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA will be created accordingly within the hierarchy of /hana/share; however, the Customers are recommended that they obtain block storage separately to configure over the Block Storage. Backup storage capacities sizing should therefore include the considerable details of Customers’ required scenario for backup methods and generations.
8.2.4.3. SAP Ensure Virtual Server Resources for SAP Appliance Server & SAP-Relational Servers¶
Flavor | Pattern | VirtualCPU | Memory | Reference SAPS Values Not Available with Unicode | Reference SAPS Values Available with Unicode |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
General Purpose 2 | Pattern 1 | 1vCPU | 4GB | 1,200 | 900 |
Pattern 2 | 2vCPU | 8GB | 2,400 | 1,900 | |
Pattern 3 | 4vCPU | 16GB | 4,800 | 3,800 | |
Pattern 4 | 8vCPU | 32GB | 9,600 | 7,600 | |
Pattern 5 | 16vCPU | 64GB | 19,200 | 15,300 |
Note
- Above SAPS values are merely estimated values based upon the experiences at Service Provider, and the values are merely the sizing referential values for Customers.
- Above SAPS values are merely impractical armchair values; i.e., they do not particularly include loads transmitted within add-on program and such. Customers are therefore recommended that they ensure their own most optimized system configurations by proceeding to implement the benchmark verification as their own systematic performance by checking to see how their actual customized environment and add-on program might behave within their actual environment.
