PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 SAP HANA User Guide
Deploy the SAP HANA application agent in Microsoft Azure environment
When you deploy the PowerProtect Data Manager with the SAP HANA application agent in a Microsoft Azure environment and you use the Azure provided DNS service, you must add the required entry in the /etc/hosts file.
To enable the SAP HANA operations in the Azure environment, add an entry in the /etc/hosts file for the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Azure virtual machine that hosts the SAP HANA application agent. For example, add the following type of entry in the /etc/hosts file on the SAP HANA application agent host:
10.6.0.12 host123.internal.cloudapp.net host123
If you do not add this type of entry in the /etc/hosts file, the SAP HANA backup and restore operations might fail.
In a multinode environment, ensure that you add the FQDN of every node in the /etc/hosts file on every host. For example, in an SAP HANA multinode environment with two nodes, N1 and N2:
- In the /etc/hosts file on node N1, add the FQDN of both N1 and N2.
- In the /etc/hosts file on node N2, add the FQDN of both N1 and N2.
