Hi,

there is no document or other to answer your requirements.

to be prudent, you should backup everthing (as your IT would normally do as part of their disaster recovery process)

you should check help.sap.com , look under BI,  and read the  backup/upgrade/migration guides.  there are several planning guides.

however, I keep re-reading your post and i'm confused.  VMware we all know as a virtualization platform.  But Hyperion we tradionally know as an OLAP datasource (i.e. Essbase)

What's your understanding?

Hi Henry

Thanks for quick reply,

however, I keep re-reading your post and i'm confused.  VMware we all know as a virtualization platform.  But Hyperion we tradionally know as an OLAP datasource (i.e. Essbase)

It was a mistake..Actually it is  Hyperp-V.. not hyperion.

Can you suggest any other practices apart from this ?

Hi Fasi

A backup should always be done, you never know if something is going wrong. If the way the virtual machines get created is so that no IP addresses or host names/aliases are changed then SAP Business Objects will likely have no issues.

If the host names/ip addresses change you should check if there is any configuration referring to those IP addresses host names and amend it
