Preparing to restore SAP HANA data

Edit online

The actions that you take to restore SAP HANA data depend on the state of the SAP HANA application.

Before you begin

Determine the health of the SAP HANA application before you proceed to restoring your SAP HANA data. If you have an SAP HANA hardware failure that cannot be recovered with hardware components, you must restore SAP HANA with the application recovery DVD. Ensure that the SAP HANA operating system and software are running before you restore any SAP HANA databases.

When a logical error arises, SAP HANA data can be restored with Data Protection for SAP HANA.

Procedure

  • Recover the SAP HANA configuration files from the IBM Storage Protect™ if they are backed up with the backup-archive client.
  • Create the dsm.sys and dsm.opt configuration files from the backed up copies that are obtained from the IBM Storage Protect.
