Adding a SAP HANA Server

Add a SAP HANA server to represent the SAP HANA database instances that you want to protect.

Before You Begin

  1. Determine how to connect to the database. If you want to use the SAP HANA Secure User Store, create a key.

    For information on the SAP Secure User Store, go to the SAP website, hdbuserstore.

  2. Install the SAP HANA agent on the physical hosts. For more information, see Adding a New Server.

  3. Make sure that you have the following information about the SAP HANA system:

    • The admin user name

    • The SAP HANA instance SID

    • The SAP HANA instance number

    • The SAP HANA primary server

    • The SAP HANA worker node

    • The SAP HANA user credentials

    • The SAP HANA user store key

    • The directory that contains the SAP HANA hdbsql tools.

      To determine the location, log in to the SAP HANA server with the sid admin credentials and type the following on the command line:

      which hdbsql

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, click Solutions >DB Instances, in the center of the page, click Add database server, and then click SAP HANA.

    The Add database server dialog box appears.
