SAP SQL Server Windows NT AlphaServer 4100 DIGITAL

This document serves as a technical guide and overview for the DIGITAL HiTest Suite specifically configured for SAP SQL Server on Windows NT running on the AlphaServer 4100. It details the components of the HiTest Suite, which includes a HiTest Foundation (hardware, operating system, middleware, and database software) and a HiTest AppSet (application software, in this case, SAP R/3 version 3.1H).

The document provides comprehensive information on system configuration, ranging from 1 to 7 CPUs, 1 to 4 GB of memory, RAID storage options (including a RAID Array 7000 subsystem with 4.3 GB and 9.1 GB UltraSCSI disks), and an optional tape drive. It outlines the installation and setup procedures for hardware, the AlphaServer System Configuration Utility (SCU), Windows NT, and SAP R/3.

A key focus of the document is the successful interoperability testing of this specific configuration. The tests, conducted using a standardized SAP benchmark method, reported no errors and confirmed that response times met SAP's criteria for acceptable performance. Notably, no problems were encountered with the foundation hardware, foundation software, or the AppSet software (SAP R/3) during the testing. The document also includes detailed hardware configuration diagrams and slot usage for both minimum and maximum configurations, providing a blueprint for reliable and performant SAP solutions on this platform. This suite is designed to meet the needs of low to medium SAP configurations.
