MAXDB Storage Considerations

MAXDB Storage Considerations
SGeSAP supports current MAXDB, liveCache and older SAPDB releases.
The considerations made below will apply similarly to MAXDB,liveCache
and SAPDB clusters unless otherwise indicated.
MAXDB distinguishes an instance dependant path /sapdb/<DBSID> and
two instance independent paths, called IndepData and IndepPrograms.
By default all three point to a directory below /sapdb.
The paths can be configured in a configuration file called
/var/spool/sql/ini/SAP_DBTech.ini. Depending on the version of
the MAXDB database this file contains different sections and settings.
A sample SAP_DBTech.ini for a host with a SAPDB 7.4 (LC1) and an
APO 3.1 using a SAPDB 7.3 database instance (AP1):
