SAP on solaris x86 or sparc

Hi,
Can you please let me know the advantages of running SAP on Solaris X86 or SPARC machines. Which is recommended?
Thanks

I'm sorry but this is simply not true.
x86_64 is VERY suited for big systems, we run x86_64 systems with 1000+ users, on Solaris and on Linux.
Solaris on x86_64 is a very good choice, a mature OS with lots of features (zones, ZFS...) running on affordable hardware.
SPARC is a RISC architecture, there are even drawbacks in performance if you use e. g. T-series systems (UltraSparc) for ABAP systems and databases (see Oracle Metalink ID 781763.1 - "Migration from fast single threaded CPU machine to CMT UltraSPARC T1 and T2 results in increased CPU reporting and diminished performance").
So it's a matter of taste and choice - and money.

  • Oracle migration from Solaris 64 sparc to Solaris x86-64

    Now that Solaris x86-64 is supported in Netweaver 2004s SR1, I was wondering about the migration path.
    Would this be a heterogeneous migration or a homogeneous migration.
    or to put it another way Export/import to migrate
    or backup/restore????
    No documents exist yet regarding this migration.

    Hello Guys
    Just wanted to ask you whether Migration of SAP system from Solaris SPARC to Solaris x86_64 is possible using the
    backup/restore method.
    I would be grateful if you could share your experience

  • Migration from Solaris Sparc server to Solaris  x86

    Hi ,
    I would like to know.
    Migration from SAP ECC6 , Oracle , Solaris Sparc to Ecc6, Oracle, Solaris x86 , Is this consider Heterogeneous or Homogeneous system copy?
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    ck chai

    Solaris on SPARC is a BIgEndian platform, Solaris on X86 is LittleEndian - so it's heterogeneous --> you need to use R3load to performa a migration - and you need to have a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration (http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).

  • Solaris 8 on Sparc and X86

    Will I experience any problems connecting a Trusted Solaris 8 X86 systems to a SPARC Trusted 8 system? Will all the trusted features work between the two.
    Thx

    I am using Java 5.0 to develop applets, but if I use
    all the possibilities that 5.0 version offers (such
    as enum) that means that clients viewing my applet
    must have JRE 5.0 as well. Does that mean a very
    recent browser will be required?no.
    I found which browsers support Java 5.0 on the page
    J2SE 5.0 "Supported System Configurations" at
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.h
    tml
    In short, what I take from there is that browsers
    required would be:
    - Mozilla 1.4+
    - Internet Explorer 5.5 (SP2+), 6.x on Windows
    platforms
    - Netscape 4.7.x on Solaris 8 on SPARC and x86
    - Netscape 7 and 7.1 are not offically supported, but
    should work
    I have no idea how recent these versions are and
    whether it is acceptable to assume that web visitors
    will have these versions. I'd think it is almost safe to assume people have those, they're not that young. the question is rather "do they have the JRE 1.5.0?"

  • What is the cpu architeture of solaris version of BPEL bundle, x86 or SPARC

    Hello,
    I'd like to know what is the cpu architeture of solaris version of BPEL bundle, x86 or SPARC located here: http://download.oracle.com/otn/solaris/ias/1012/as_sun_bpel_101200.cpio
    The file is more than 400Mb in size, so I need to know before downloading.
    Thanks.

    hi,
    are there any plans to release it for x86 (32 bit) platform. I'm also interested in testing beta versions of oracle software (specifically bpel, jdeveloper) on solaris 10 x86 platform, is there any beta CD available for these purposes?
    thanks.

    Oracle Instant Client was a "feature" introduced with Oracle 10g. There is no 9i version.
    Code that links with Oracle 9i libraries should be able to be linked with Instant Client 10gR2.
    The resulting application will be able to connect to databases from Oracle 8.1 onwards.

  • Can't see Solaris X86/SPARC Agents for 12c

    I've ran the manual updates and automatic updates and the only agents i can see in the repository are still the linux x86 and X64 agents. Is there any way to manually load the agent to the repository so we can start testing the deployment?
    I see the sparc/x86 agents are available for manual download on OTN

    Go to Setup > Extensibility > Self Update. From the Self Update page, look in the Agent Software folder, you should see information showing that agents for Solaris x86 (64-bit) and Solaris Sparc (64bit) are available.
    If necessary, see the following doc for information on using Self Update:

  • SOLARIS X86 TO SOLARIS SPARC MIGRATION

    hi
    i have a maxdb database production in Solaris 2200 x86 server , but i need move that database into Solaris 5120 sparc server.
    how can i do that migration, because the recovery backup don't work from x86 to sparc server

    is the option transport tables of database studio and this option is functionally for data transport from x86  to sparc plataform in two way ¿?
    Hmm... why don't you just test it out?
    Loadercli in general uses a dataformat that is platform-independent.
    Know what?
    Read the documentation MaxDB documentation - Loader and try out the transport with a little test table.
    There's even a Loader-Tutorial available...
    It's much easier than making up all kinds of questions of what might possibly work or not.
    regards,

  • How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

    Hello people,
    I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
    If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
    In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
    It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
    /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
    I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
    At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
    Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
    Thanks

    Dear Gents,
    I have one X86 Solaris Server configured and installed to be Sun Management Center Server.
    successfully i could monitor the Sun Solaris Servers after i have installed the SMC agent on them.
    my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
    could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well. It autodetects OS type and will install Solaris packages or RPMs as appropriate.

    Hi
    From the Unix prompt enter oemapp console(for v9.x). If you are using earlier versions it is oemapp console (for starting the console) and oemapp dbastudio(for starting dba studio)
    For starting OMS enter: oemctrl start oms.

  • SAP on SOLARIS on VMWare -- DELL ?

    Friends, I noticed that Dell does not have hardware certified to run SAP on Solaris -> http://www.saponsolaris.com/hwlist.html
    However I have a quest that requires SAP -> on Solaris -> on DELL
    One of the solutions was virtualized Solaris and install SAP on Solaris: SAP -> on Solaris -> on VMWare -> on DELL
    In the topic below there is a mention that SAP does not support this type of installation, but without any reference to any SAP Note:
    ERP6 EHP4 SOLARIS 10 Sparc,Oracle 10g in a virtual envirn swap size requir
    Do you know any case that could help me?
    thank you

    If I understand the license policy of Oracle Solaris properly, the only valid way of running Solaris entitled is on hardware you bought by Sun/Oracle.
    There is no note because it is not supported. There are no Solaris specific VMWare tools available, there will be no integration in the monitoring becaues of that and hance it's not supported officially.
    We had likewise problems and we will switch all Solaris boxes to Linux subsequently.

  • From 7.3 on NT to 8 on Solaris x86?

    Has Oracle ported Oracle8 for Solaris x86?

    Hi,
    usually I expect people to do a little research and I do not give everything chewed.
    Point 4:
    go to the
    <b>Oracle9i Database Migration Release 2 (9.2)</b>
    go to the chapter 3
    <b>Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle9i Release</b>
    go to the point:
    <b>Upgrade the Database Manually</b>
    Exactly from here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96530/upgrade.htm#1009200
    Keep in mind
    1) that the <i>EXACT </i>procedure you are following it is not indicated in this manual
    2) you have to think a little ( do you have all the windows services created on the destination system? if not, you have to create them ... )
    3) this procedure is not supported by SAP. It is a valid option but not supported by them. You have to practice until you get all the points correctly

    Hi Aju,
    With SAP NetWeaver 7.1, the SAP NetWeaver RFC Library only supports 64bit for SUN. You can find more information you can see the SAP note 1025361 and at http://service.sap.com/connectors --> SAP NetWeaver RFC Library.
