Abstract

The availability and capacity of the data should not be compromised during infrastructure migration in enterprise systems that use SAP HANA. The paper proposes a tactical plan for improving SAP HANA resilience and performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) using the deployment of Pacemaker as a high-availability cluster manager. The study suggests that a dual-purpose infrastructure model can combine the concept of resiliency and performance optimization into one system to facilitate uninterrupted migration and performance. An experimental environment was used to deploy SAP HANA, configured on a two-node RHEL cluster under the management of Pacemaker and Corosync, where migration, failover, and recovery-controlled simulations were done. Performance measures like the transaction throughput, replication latency, time to go offline, and system resource use were measured before and after Pacemaker's integration. Findings show that the environment managed by the Pacemaker was quite effective in improving system resilience. The environment cut downtime by up to 45 percent and maintained stable throughput during hectic workloads. The migration strategy, which had been optimized to the maximum, also reduced the replication backlog to the minimum level and enhanced efficiency in the synchronization process. Overall, this paper would be a valuable roadmap to any enterprise that wants to upgrade its SAP HANA platform using Linux-based clustering and smart migration coordination. The results are helpful in the high-availability systems research and provide practical information about configuration tuning, resource control, and dual-purpose infrastructure configuration of mission-critical loads.
