SAP MSCS Windows 2008 "Client Access point"

[former_member319296]

Hello Gurus,

As per the installation guide " GuideSAP ERP 6.0 - EHP4 Ready SR1 ABAP on Windows: Oracle" page 147 , step 10 of "Creating sap services " , we are trying to add Client access point , however we are not able to add the virtual host name for scs instance . Here we have one query , should we enter a new virtual hostname as it is not accepting the existing cluster hostname and in which IP class ( public or private ) we should register.

We have node 1( hostname.domain) ,node 2( hostname.domain) and one cluster name ( clustername.domain) .

Which Virtual host name should i provide while adding the "Client

Access Point" ?

Please advice.

Hi,

as you can see at the same installation guide, page 131 (7.2.4 IP Address in an MSCS Configuration), you should finally have 5 hostnames with their corresponig IPs (Public class): the 3 you already mentioned: node 1( hostname.domain) ,node 2( hostname.domain) and one cluster name ( clustername.domain) + 2 virtual hostnames assigned to free IPs: <sap virtual name> (sapvirtual.domain) and <oracle virtual name> (oravirtual.domain).

So, when you create the Client Access Point for the SAP Service, you enter this new sap virtual hostname.

Thank you all , I will read the guide again and very throughly. However, does this process of entering the new virtual hostname at client access point will create a new sap virtual hostname or we have to follow some guidelines to manually create the virtual hostname with IP address ?

And as per guide the IP address for these 2 virtual hostname would be Public IP address. Please correct me if i am wrong .

Yes, all 5 IPs that I mentioned earlier (2 physical and 3 virtual) are all Public.

You can simbly add all these IPs and hostnames to hosts file on both nodes of Cluster. When you try to create it, the cluster software will read it from there.

If u have created a virtual host already for the SAP group u can give that one and proceed else you need to enter a new virtual host for SAP group. This hostname and IP address are different than the three mentioned by you.

Good Luck...
