90 Optimizing IBM Netfinity Servers for SAP R/3 and Windows NT
• Oracle and SAP executables and non-data files on two mirrored 4.5 GB disks
• Database files on six 4.5 GB disks in a RAID 5 configuration
The application servers were configured with a minimum configuration of a single
4.5GB drive for Windows NT, paging and SAP files.
3.2 Customizing Windows NT
Before installing SAP R/3 some changes to Windows NT are required. Please
refer to Chapter 2, “Configuring the Hardware and Installing Windows NT” on
page 17 before proceeding. This section describes how to set up the special user
IDs for SAP R/3.
3.2.1 Define SAP Users
Two Windows NT users must be defined for SAP:
• <SAPSID>ADM
• SAPService<SAPSID>
For example, the name we chose for our SAPSID was RDU. The SAP users for
our installation are RDUADM and SAPServiceRDU. Perform the following steps
for each user:
1. Log onto Windows NT as Administrator.
2. Click Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/User Manager for Domains.
3. Click User/New User.
4. Complete the New User screen as shown in Figure 49. Uncheck the box User
Must Change Password at Next Logon.
