• Perform Linux-level troubleshooting and resolve cluster configuration issues.

• Prepare and validate the server environment for SAP HANA installation by the SAP team.

• Collaborate with SAP HANA specialists to ensure the infrastructure meets installation prerequisites.

• Document the configuration, setup procedures, and operational handover.

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).

• Proven experience installing and configuring Pacemaker clusters from scratch.

• Expertise in Corosync, cluster resource management, quorum, fencing, and failover configuration.

• Strong Linux administration, shell scripting, troubleshooting, and system configuration skills.

• Understanding of high-availability architecture and clustered server environments.

• Experience preparing Linux infrastructure for SAP HANA environments is preferred.
