Provisioning

Provisioning with the VMware Adapter for SAP Landscape Management allows the user to take source SAP systems and either clone or copy the system to create new target SAP systems.

Note: During SAP workload provisioning operations, copy or clone, the classic naming scheme for network interfaces can cause target clone system being unavailable for LaMa and as result failed provisioning operation. This can happen in a multi network interfaces setup if LaMa is not connected to all networks of the source system. Due to changed MAC addresses the target clone system may have different mapping of network interface names to networks compared to source system. In order to keep the same network interface names on the target clone system it is necessary to enable Consistent Network Device Naming in the source system. For more information see Consistent Network Device Naming (CNDN).
