+## Support for Azure Backup Multiple Components on One System (MCOS)
 
+Azure Backup for SAP HANA supports backing up multiple SAP HANA systems (SIDs) on a single host. SAP HANA MCOS support includes the following configurations. 
+
+| Sap HANA instance | Support |
+| --- | --- |
+| Standalone (HXE)+ Standalone (HYE) | Supported |
+| HSR (HXE) + Standalone (HYE) | Supported |
+| HSR (HXE) + HSR (HYE) | Unsupported |
+
+**`HXE` and `HYE` represent two HANA instances running on the same host.*
+
+The following table lists the required parameters for adding/removing SAP HANA instances:
+
+| Action | Parameter | Description | Example script |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| **Add an instance** | `--sid` | SAP HANA database instance that you want to protect. <br><br> By default, the first instance is selected. | `./msawb-plugin-config-com-sap-hana.sh --add --sid HXE` <br><br> Or <br><br> `./msawb-plugin-config-com-sap-hana.sh  --sid HXE` <br><br>  (Default mode is `add` for the script.) <br><br> After you add instances, registration needs to be done on recovery services vault. If a new instance is added later, re-registration is required.|
+| **Remove an instance** | `--sid` | SAP HANA database instance that you want to remove protection. <br><br> **SID** is a mandate parameter for remove. | `./msawb-plugin-config-com-sap-hana.sh --remove --sid HXE` |
