This article contains some sections of the global.ini file contents which we need to edit before the SAP HANA deployment. The lines that should be edited are marked in red. The complete example of global.ini file is attached to this article.
Global.ini is used in SAP HANA cluster deployment scenarios. After editing the global.ini file, the file should be placed in the /hana/shared directory before the cluster deployment starts.
