The primary objective of this tender is to enhance the resilience and disaster recovery capabilities of SAP S/4 HANA at Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) Queens Warehouse Data Centre. Specifically, the project aims to:

  • Restore and upgrade the unused IBM S924 server to support SAP S/4 HANA disaster recovery (DR).
  • Upgrade memory on existing IBM Power9 systems to meet operational requirements.
  • Extend Metro Mirror replication to include SAP S/4 HANA logical unit numbers (LUNs).
  • Ensure the DR site can support full failover and failback operations, aligning with TPT’s business continuity and high availability goals.

Scope

The scope of work encompasses the following key activities:

  1. Inspection and repair of the IBM S924 server to restore it to operational condition, including parts and labor costs.
  2. Configuration of the IBM S924 server, including assigning and cabling Fibre Channel adapters, SAN zoning, and mapping replicated SAP S/4 HANA LUNs.
  3. Conducting failover tests to verify the server can successfully operate in DR mode.
  4. Upgrading memory modules on the IBM Power9 systems, including procurement, installation, and verification.
  5. Extending the existing IBM Metro Mirror configuration to include SAP S/4 HANA LUNs, validating replication integrity, and performing failover and failback tests.
  6. Developing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for failover and failback processes to ensure future operational readiness.

  • Memory upgrade involving procurement and installation of 8 x IBM EM7C 128GB DDR4 DIMMs, with verification of successful recognition and system boot.

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements
