HPE Datacenter Care for SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI)
HPE Contractual Support Services
Service overview
This data sheet addendum to the HPE Datacenter Care data sheet describes the HPE SAP HANA® Tailored Datacenter Integration service features, which are an optional extension of HPE Datacenter Care services. Under HPE Datacenter Care services, a mutually agreed-upon and executed Statement of Work (SOW) will detail the precise combination of hardware supported and reactive and proactive support features provided, including HPE SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration Support Service, if purchased, based upon your requirements.
HPE SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration Support Service provides context-aware remote SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI) support services for eligible Hewlett Packard Enterprise and SAP® products included in your SAP HANA TDI infrastructure. With HPE SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration Support Service, your IT sta has access to the HPE SAP HANA Center of Excellence, which is more fully described below. HPE SAP HANA Center of Excellence works with your IT team to provide support for problem diagnosis to help work toward resolution for incidents on covered HPE branded TDI compute blocks. Eligible HPE hardware products under this coverage receive assistance in troubleshooting problems and identifying potential configuration and hardware-related issues. Please refer to HPE supported TDI compute block listing for HPE compute blocks that are eligible for coverage under this service. This support service does not include assistance with troubleshooting incidents related to virtualized SAP HANA environments.
If you are unable to determine the nature of an HPE SAP HANA TDI problem, you may contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise directly. You can make the first call directly to the HPE SAP HANA Center of Excellence to help make this determination. If the reported incident is related to the SAP HANA database, based upon your preference, HPE can either initiate the collaborative engagement with SAP, or you can contact SAP directly to initiate the engagement. In situations where you are able to determine that the nature of the problem is SAP HANA database related, HPE recommends that you contact SAP directly.
If initiated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the collaborative engagement with SAP includes HPE opening a call on your behalf with SAP utilizing the SAP workflow call management system under your active support agreement with SAP. HPE will engage with SAP and provide information about your support issue. If the call is transitioned to SAP, the call will be subject to the support service level experience or attributes of the support agreement you have with SAP. Once SAP is engaged, HPE will keep the case open for further collaboration in the event that it is determined to be a covered HPE-related incident, and you can resume the service issue with HPE by referencing the original call identification number. HPE will then monitor the case status utilizing the SAP workflow call management system. Accordingly, if the incident is with a covered HPE hardware product, HPE will provide the technical hardware support, remotely or on-site, based upon the purchased hardware support or warranty coverage level.

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise Account Support Manager (ASM), working remotely with the Customer’s designated representative, will schedule a pre-suppor t SAP HANA system onboarding discovery, at a mutually agreed-upon time, which shall be during local HPE standard business days and hours excluding HPE holidays. The onboarding discovery is conducted remotely, will not exceed three days in duration, and is preceded by a remote pre-onboarding meeting. Further onboarding details and requirements are provided in advance of the scheduled remote onboarding activity.
The remote onboarding discovery provides the following SAP HANA solution elements:
• Ensure component compliance with SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM) certification
• Ascertain the status of SAP HANA solution certification
• Acquire diagrams
• Acquire log files
• Document firmware/driver levels
• Document SAP HANA support levels

resolved by the Customer, as determined by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, access to the HPE SAP HANA Center of Excellence will be activated. The Customer understands and agrees that there will be no reduction in support fees charged for HPE SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration Support Service during any period of non-access to the HPE SAP HANA Center of Excellence either prior to, during, or upon completion of the onboarding process, or while the Customer addresses and resolves any issues identified as a result of the output of this process.
Once access is activated by HPE, the Customer can access HPE SAP HANA Center of Excellence via telephone, or via electronic communication, for assistance in resolving HPE SAP HANA infrastructure hardware or software incidents. An HPE SAP HANA Center of Excellence authorized representative will contact the Customer to begin technical suppor t service within two hours after the service request has been logged, if this time falls within the contracted coverage window, and the call is logged directly with HPE.
Once a service call has been placed, the Customer will receive assistance in troubleshooting problems and identifying potential configuration and hardware-related incidents on covered, eligible HPE SAP HANA TDI compute blocks. For hardware-related incidents, a service request is logged to the HPE dispatch desk on the Customer’s behalf. If the problem is associated with storage components listed in the SAP HANA Hardware Directory, then these products are not covered under these HPE SAP HANA support services and the Customer should engage the third-party vendor directly. HPE, SAP, and certain third-party vendors may collaborate on certain incidents using the SAP workflow call management system on the Customer’s behalf. If the call is transitioned to SAP, the call will be subject to the support service level experience or attributes of the support agreement between the Customer and SAP.
If the reported incident is related to the SAP HANA database, based upon the Customer’s preference, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will either initiate the collaborative engagement with SAP, or the Customer may contact SAP directly to initiate the engagement. If HPE begins to troubleshoot the incident and determines that a problem is related to SAP HANA , HPE will initiate a call with the SAP workflow call management system. HPE will engage SAP and provide information about the Customer’s incident under the Customer’s active suppor t agreement with SAP. It is then the responsibility of SAP to resolve the Customer’s issue. Once the call is transitioned to SAP, the call will be subject to the support service level experience or attributes of the agreement between the Customer and SAP, and HPE will have no further action or obligations.
Placing calls with the SAP workflow system can be provided only in cases where the Customer has an appropriate active support agreement in place with SAP and provided the Customer has ensured that HPE can submit calls on the Customer’s behalf for the limited purpose of placing a support call with SAP.
