• Key Concepts: 
  Host auto-failover is a feature of SAP HANA that allows for the automatic failover of a host in the event of a system failure. This ensures that the system remains available and operational, even in the event of an unexpected outage. The feature works by monitoring the health of the host and automatically switching to a different host if the primary host fails. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To enable host auto-failover, you must first configure the system to use multiple hosts. Once this is done, you can enable the feature by setting up a failover policy. This policy will define which hosts should be used in the event of a failure and how long the system should wait before switching to a different host. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring host auto-failover, it is important to ensure that all hosts are configured correctly and that they are running the same version of SAP HANA. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all hosts have access to the same data sources and that they are configured with the same settings.
