SAP Landscape Management 3.0, Enterprise Edition

Adding Mount Point Configurations on System Level

You add mount point configurations on system level to mount export and backup files, or to transfer redo log files during a provisioning procedure.

Context

You configure mount points on system level for the following:

  • Storage of exports that are created during a system refresh process

    • If you do not configure a mount point and the target host is not changed during the refresh process, you can specify a local directory during the refresh process.
    • This mount point should not be part of the system directories, since it is not cloned during the refresh process.
  • Refresh SAP HANA databases using complete database backup files

  • Transfers of redo log files from the source system to the target system during online cloning or copying of Oracle databases

    • The mount point directory should be empty and must not be part of the Oracle software installation, data files, or logs, since it is not cloned during the provisioning process.
    • If you do not specify a mount point directory, SAP Landscape Management starts an automated cleanup at the end of each provisioning process.
