Migrate to new Virtual machine on VMware

659 Views

Hi,

One of our SAP system(SOLMAN) is on KVM. We are in the process of retiring KVM and moving it to a VM on VMware. We are planning to do a Virtual 2 Virtual (V2V) copy to move this instance to VMware. After the migration nothing changes including OS, SID, IP and hostname. We have a distributed installation with Apps and db on seperate hardware. This move is only for the Apps. The DB remain as it is and is on a physical server, not a VM.

My question is, whether a V2V copy method is supported by SAP for productive operation, or do we have to do the traditional SAP migration ? Do we get support from SAP if somthing goes wrong after the migration ?

Is there a need for a certified consultatnt to perfomr this kind of harware migration ?

Our SOLMAN (701) is on Red Hat Linux (RHEL 5.4) with oracle database( 10.2.0.4).

Appreciate your help and thoughts on this issue.

Regards
