Scheduled maintenance

Following different scenarios are possible for base IT infrastructure maintenance for SAP servers:

Only App and DB software maintenace
In this case we can stop or start SAP cluster using Pacemaker start and stop for Hana DB and application servers
Entire power servers and LPARs need to be powered off and on
In this case we can follow the sequence described at Stopping and starting all LPARS deployed on power servers for SAP App and DB
