But I’ve got it “suped up” with 8GB of Ram a 64-bit, 3 GHz quad-core Q9650 processor and a 3-disk RAID array offering almost 800 Gigs of storage (in addition to the 150 Gig OS partition). I’m running a humble, aging Dell Inspiron 530.

Here is what I found I needed in order to complete the installation: I will try my best to explain things along the way, but if I gloss over some things it’s a safe assumption that I haven’t the foggiest idea of what the TRUE requirement is. There are a lot of steps to this installation and I won’t be able to provide details behind each one. One final Note, I am not a technical SAP guy. Of course, it isn’t REQUIRED to use a VM, but I think it’s the best solution for my needs. Many people may find this less convenient to run it in a VM, but in my case the benefits outweigh the inconvenience. I should be able to lift-n-shift the whole thing in the event that I wish to move it to a different physical computer.

I can’t say for sure, but the VM should be more portable.

You can increase or decrease performance as needed by changing the parameters of the VM. It will be less impacted by processes and services running on the host machine which could affect server operation.

A VM is, for the most part, isolatedfrom the host system.

The environment within a VM is very controlled and therefore more predictable.

All I know is that it appears to have worked.Īlso, I am using a Virtual Machine for this installation.

But, I have no idea if this is the best or worst, most or least efficient method to use. Hopefully, you’ll be able to follow these same steps and be well on your way to running our own instance of SAP. This is a “How I” article and not a “How To” article.
