/usr/sap/trans and NFS mount issue

[Former Member]

Hi Basis Gurus,

I have one question for /usr/sap/trans and NFS mount. I have one system called "PD1" and this system is hosted on server "gpd1". This server is also hosting other system landscape we have for our Europe region.

See the details below:

Eurpoe Region Landscape

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

/sapmnt/C01 -> R/3 Development -> host gpd1

/sapmnt/Q01 -> R/3 QA -> host gpd1

/sapmnt/T01 -> R/3 Production Copy (Test) -> host gpd1

/sapmnt/PD1 -> R/3 Production -> host gpd1

Now C01, Q01 and T01 (hosted on gpd1) is having the NFS mount /usr/sap/trans on server gpd2 which is the host for Production system P01.

Since PD1 is on the same host of "gpd1" it's poiting to same /usr/sap/trans NFS mount of server gpd2 and system P01.

I have a Template development system D00 which is hosted on "gpd3". My question is Can I have separate /usr/sap/trans NFS mount from PD1(gpd1) to D00 server "gpd3" ? Will this make change to the landcape of C01, Q01 and T01?

I need a common /usr/sap/trans for D00(gpd3) and PD1(gpd1), but PD1(gpd1) is pointing to P01(gpd2).

Please advise.

Thanks

Difficult to understand your question and landscape.

Since PD1 is on the same host of "gpd1" it's poiting to same /usr/sap/trans NFS mount of server gpd2 and system P01.

Does it mean that you have 2 R/3 Production systems pointing to eachother? Please explain this part.

Hi,

Yes you are correct. Two Prodcution is having same NFS mount /usr/sap/trans. Let me try to put this way

Host1 -> DEV, QA, TEST, PROD2 having NFS mount /usr/sap/trans to host2

Host2 -> PROD1

Host3 -> D00

Requirement is to have PROD2 to NFS mount /usr/sap/trans to host3 so that D00 and PROD2 have common /usr/sap/trans and request released from D00 go to PROD2.

Hope this helps. Appreciate your help.

Thanks

You just need one /usr/sap/trans for all your SAP landscapes as long as they are in the same location.

Hello,

Your transport directory can be of any name as long as you refer the correct one using DIR_TRANS, DIR_EPS_ROOT etc..

example: you may create /usr/sap/trans_<SID> and adjust the above SAP variables in respective systems...

Hello

I also need to create new trans directory( /usr/sap/trans_<SID>) as you mentioned.

Would you please let me know in detail what should be done for this?

Is there any related note or online help?
