Great tips, are you planning on doing anything on the Ansible front with RHEL/SUSE for SAP? I have been upgrading my HANA DBs from SPS05 to SPS07 with Ansible and it's been great.
Yes for non-prod and simple prod scenarios. Unfortunately, critical production systems with clusters, XSA and HANA AFLs are not easy to patch using automation tooling. The amount of checking that needs to be done and the required assurances to the business make it very difficult to justify building. There was some automation published a few months back by someone, and it was missing the SRTAKEOVER key 🤷🏼♂️
@@TechCubicleOnSAP for clusters it’s necessary to do a manual standby because a timeout is never fixed. I’m using it for non prod tho. I’ll be happy to share my documentation, I also did a fully automate Leapp upgrade from RHEL7 to rhel8

Size of the Hana database can be easily measured by the size of the backup... Correct me if I am wrong.
Backup is only reflecting data. Excludes working memory requirements.
Thank you for the good tips!
