Hi Sunny,
I have found in the below in PAM, is it supported to install solman 7.1 for MaxDB 7.8?
In PAM: Solution manager 7.1
MAXDB 7.8 64-BIT + WINDOWS SRV 2008 R2/X64 64BIT + SAP KERNEL 7.20 64-BIT
Kindly suggest if i am wrong.

Re: MaxDB Upgrade error from version 7.3 to 7.5
Hello Vino,
Please provide the output of the commands:
dbmcli db_enum
dbmcli inst_enum
sdbregview -l
xinstinfo SDB
Is your database UNICODE ? If you are not sure, check the value of parameter _UNICODE using this command
"dbmcli on SDB> param_directget _UNICODE"
The upgrade log are usually under /sapdb/data/wrk directory - if you can find it, attach it to this thread.

MaxDB Parameter RestartVolumeGroupingMemorySize
Hello,
as of patch MaxDB 7.9.08.11 this parameter speeds up the restart of the database. I could even verify this, with a database usually needed 15 minutes to start and now starts within 5 minutes.
Unfortunately I can not find a useful documentation of this parameter. So I have a few questions.
Which value should be used (even default value 0 seems to speed up the start of the database)?
Which influence has this parameter to the database (smaller cache usage, higher impact at starting, any dangers)?
Has anyone got experience with this parameter?
Best Regards

i have found below link related to this ,, but i am not 100% sure how to proceed

Hi Balaram,
Refer SAP Note 927882 - FAQ: SAP MaxDB Update Statistics
Additionally for checking and executing statistics refer blog

Hope this helps.

Re: MaxDB Upgrade error from version 7.3 to 7.5
Hello Vinoth,
You are running the command (param_directget _UNICODE) in a wrong way. First connect to the database as control/dbm user and then run "param_directget _UNICODE"
From the attached output, it looks like the DBUPDATE never went through, as you can see you can still see the current registered version is 7.3.0.35.
What is the OS version you are using (32bit or 64bit ) ?
What version of MaxDB 7.5 upgrade DVD (32bit or 64bit) are you using ??

Re: MaxDB Parameter RestartVolumeGroupingMemorySize
Hello Andreas,
The value of this parameter (RestartVolumeGroupingMemorySize) defines the amount of memory (in KB) used for grouping of used blocks by volume in the course of a system restart. Using this kind of grouping may speed up the restart in case of huge databases. The default value of 0 means that no grouping by volume takes place.
This parameter potentially improves restart performance, but only in those (rare) cases when the system is CPU bound during restart (we would normally expect it to be IO bound). Increasing this parameter will allocate more memory in one chunk, which we have seen to be benefitial on Solaris OS. If you have any system with long restart times, create a SAP message and we will check, if there is room for improvement, otherwise, just leave the parameter value at its default of '0'.
For more information run "param_getfull RestartVolumeGroupingMemorySize"

Re: MaxDB Parameter RestartVolumeGroupingMemorySize
Thank you Yashwanth,
I will open 2 customer messages, each for one problematic productive system.
I wonder one thing:
At QAS system I set the Parameter to 10 GB (at 64 GB Cache Size). As expected the system startup speeds up to 5 minutes. Before the database patch from 7.9.8.7 to 7.9.8.11 the start needs between 15 and 20 minutes.
At PRD system I did not set the parameter, because I had not found properly information which value may be recommended. I was afraid to waste cache size. The system startup speeds up to 5 minutes, too.
What I am missing in documentaion of this parameter:
Where is the cache located? e.g. Cache-Size, Catalog-Cache, seperated
Which value is recommended? e.g. 10% Cache Size, 100 MB, 50% Catalog size, 1 % database size
Are there any risks? e.g. wasting memory, database consitency, performance issues
If this parameter should not be used except of recommendation by SAP support, I would like to have this told in documentation.
Best Regards
Andreas

SAP Content Server HA and load balancing
Good morning experts.
I am a Basis Architect and working towards setting up our SAP environment to support near Zero downtime. I have successfully setup our SQL Server databases, NW Instances and even TREX to support that model.
I am looking for some suggestions on how to setup HA on the SAP content server. Currently we are moving our SAP content (attachments to PO/Invoices, Marketing attachments etc. from our ECC and CRM systems to SAP content Server. Also archiving stuff is moved to the content Server. This makes the Content Server critical for business. Therefore any downtime is an outage for business.
SAP does not have a HA model for SAP content server(at least I could not find any information). the maxDB part does support failover clustering but for the Content server IIS services, I could not find any information. I am looking for a multi node HA model where I can achieve High Availability for incidents, like if the server crashes, there is another instance it can automatically failover to. Also during any maintenance I can work node by node without causing any outage.
we have a VMware virtual environment on windows. I am open to suggestions using the technologies provided by VMware and supported by SAP.
I know I can start using a non SAP utility to manage content like Opentext, IBM Content management, but these solutions are like a blackhole. Once you get into them, there is no way out unless you are willing to spend millions. Also of-course SAP Content Server is free and we have a single point of support. 
.

Yogesh

Re: SAP Content Server HA and load balancing
Hi Yogesh,
For Content Server HA setup on Windows you may refer below SAP note
Note 1726396 - Integration of SAP MaxDB/liveCache 7.8/7.9 into MSCS
For non-SAP applications which are relevant for Content server to operate like IIS please refer below blog from Microsoft
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2009/06/01/9674799.aspx
Hope this helps.
