Deploying Power Virtual Server infrastructure
For SAP workloads that run on IBM® Power® Virtual Server, one workspace for Power Virtual Server is deployed.
The following diagram shows deployed components.
Deploying a Power Virtual Server
Workspaces for Power Virtual Server host all the SAP instances that don't require direct internet access. All SAP NetWeaver and SAP HANA instances are deployed in the workspace for Power Virtual Server. To create and configure this service, use the following steps.
- Deploy a new workspace for Power Virtual Server in the same region where your IBM Cloud edge VPC is. For more information, see Creating a Power Systems Virtual Server workspace.
- Upload your SSH public key to the workspace. SSH keys are distributed across all the workspaces that are in your account, so you generate the SSH key one time.
- Go to SSH keys, click
Create SSH key
, provide a unique name, and press Add SSH key.
- Go to SSH keys, click
- In the workspace, create a management and backup private networks. For more information, see Configuring and adding a private network subnet.
- Connect the Power Virtual Server workspace to the transit gateway as described here. You can now ping gateway IBM Power Virtual Server private networks IP addresses from the access host deployed in VPC.
