How the VMs are stopped with the schedule option?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I wanted to know, how the VMs are stopped with the schedule option? Is it a proper or a hard shutdown?

Thank you.

Hello, SAP software takes care for the proper stop/start of the software during VM suspend/resume.

Hello Aleksandar,

Great, thank you. Another thing, I am currently deploying the "SAP S/4HANA 1610 FPS01 Fully-Activated Appliance" for test purpose, if the solution suits me, is it possible to bring my SAP licenses and buy the CAL license to use the test environment as a production environment?

Thank you.

Kind regards.

Thank you but the post indicates that is possible for "PoC or a customer demo" but not for production purpose.

Hello Abdelhak,

PoC and demo are the main SAP CAL scenarios. However production is also possible. The prerequisites are that your order the SAP CAL subscription, bring your own productive license and use a cloud environment that is certified by SAP. For more information about the supported AWS and MS Azure VM types see https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1656099 and http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1928533 respectively.

Hello Stanimir,

Thank you but both links are asking for credentials (my SAP account doesn't work).

All solutions in the CAL can be transformed as a production environment so? So the "SAP S/4HANA 1610 FPS01 Fully-Activated Appliance" solution I deployed could be used as a production environment by just bringing my licenses (and ordering the SAP CAL subscription) ?

Kind regards.

Hello Abdelhak,

Yes, you need an active S-user to open the support notes.

Go to Solutions and filter by "Paid Solutions" to see which solutions support the bring-your-own-license model.

Regarding "SAP S/4HANA 1610 FPS01 Fully-Activated Appliance", it will not be sufficient just to bring your license. See my previous reply.

Best regards,

Thanks for your answer.

A normal stop is simply a shutdown of the VM directly, so if I want to stop the VMs properly (first the SAP environment and then the VMs), I need to do it myself (via scripts or something else), right?

And also, the start of the SAP environment when the VMs are running is not automatic?
