# Add hosts to a multiple-host SAP HANA system using application volume group for SAP HANA

Building a multiple-host SAP HANA database always starts with creating a volume group for the first host. You need to have created the first host in an SAP HANA multiple-host setup (see [Deploy the first SAP HANA host](application-volume-group-deploy-first-host.md)). After that, you can add additional HANA hosts by following steps in this article.

In the example screenshot below, the group name `SAP-HANA-SH9-{HostId}` is a generic name. `{HostId}` will be replaced with the corresponding numeric host ID for each host you add. `{HostId}` will also be replaced with the numeric host ID for the volume group description. If `{HostId}`is not specified, it is appended to the end for both the group name and description.
