This high-performance and easy-to-manage plug-in is the perfect enabler for SAP NW LVM 2.0.  It includes automation capabilities that reduce the time to clone SAP applications, which in turn helps reduce the overall SAP system clone/refresh time. The ability to automate this cloning step as part of the end-to-end clone/refresh scenario can help improve business agility while reducing risks associated with manual provisioning.

With the latest release of HP Storage Plug-in for SAP NW LVM, we now support complete functionality of SAP LVM 2.0 in Microsoft Windows 2012, Linux (RHEL and SLES) and HP-UX environments for HP 3PAR StoreServ and HP XP P9500 Storage. In addition to this, the latest release provides impactful enhancements to enable Basis administrators to manage their SAP landscapes. With these enhancements, you can:

• Execute SAP clone/refresh/ instance re-location operations for SAP instances running on multiple VMware vCenters
• Gain enhanced flexibility in SAP clone/refresh/ instance re-location operation by mapping multiple Logical Volumes to multiple physical volumes
• Obtain information on Volume groups easily
• Eliminate user dependency on adding storage array WWN in the mount point configuration
