Which checks are performed when using the Hardware Configuration Check Tool (HWCCT)?

The Hardware Configuration Check Tool (HWCCT) is specifically designed to ensure that the hardware and software configurations of a system meet the optimal conditions required for running SAP HANA.

The first aspect, which addresses the validation of OS configuration settings for the Linux kernel, is crucial because the Linux kernel settings can significantly affect the performance and stability of SAP HANA. The HWCCT performs checks on parameters such as memory management, process limits, and I/O settings to ensure they are tuned for maximum efficiency.

The third aspect involves measuring data throughput between SAP HANA nodes and the storage systems. This measurement is vital as it assesses the performance of data access and helps identify bottlenecks in data transfer rates, which can hinder the overall performance of the database.

Together, both these checks ensure that the necessary environment conditions are established for SAP HANA to operate effectively, making the combined option of validating OS configuration and measuring data throughput the correct answer.
