This course is
designed to enable you to deploy the SAP Enqueue Replication Server with High
Availability using SLES for SAP Applications.
The course uses SUSE best practices leading to a deployment that complies with
the SAP certification NW-HA-CLU 7.40 for ENSA1 and S/4-HA-CLU 1.0 for ENSA2.
First the Enqueue Server is introduced along with an architectural overview.
Next the environment required for the deployment is explored including the
storage requirements for deploying the enqueue server with high availability.
The preparation is followed by tuning the systems for the SAP workload,
creating and configuring the required cluster resources and integrating the SAP
environment with the HA environment using the sap_suse_cluster_connector.
Cluster tests are then planned and executed, the cluster monitored and best
practice administration tips provided.
This course helps prepare students for the SCE in SLES for SAP Applications -
Part 1 exam.
