Hi experts,
Hope you can help in this respect.
We would like to replicate existing SAP BI 4.0 SP5 Prod environment and after replication perform in-place upgrade to SAP BI 4.1 SP7.
Current Prod environment consists of 2 separate nodes with CMS service present on both of them.
The plan is to:
1.Create two new virtual servers
2. Copy/Restore CMS database to one of the new servers and also copy/restore FRS files to corresponding new servers
3. Install and configure same version of SAP BI 4.0 SP5 Prod to new servers and point them to restored CMS and FRS
4. Verify and configure installation
5. Perform in-place upgrade to SAP BI 4.1 SP7 on both new server nodes.
Will the above work to achieve our purpose ?
I have some questions regarding point 3 in the above process:
1. How do I perform expanded installation on these 2 new servers ? I want to have both servers active i.e. this is not failover cluster. I also want to install Tomcat on both new servers.
2. The client has SAP BW which they will continue to use after the replication and subsequent upgrade. What specific steps/configuration during installation need to be performed so that SAP BW can be used as in current Prod environment ?
3. If I have some load balancing server in front of the new servers what sort of configurations need to happen on my new and/or Loadbalancer server ?
Many thanks.
