## Overview

SAP HANA supports system replication (HSR) with more than two sites connected. You can add a third site to an existing HSR pair, managed by Pacemaker in a highly available setup. You can deploy the third site in a second Azure region for disaster recovery (DR) purposes.

SAP HANA supports system replication (HSR) with more than two connected sites. You can configure additional sites to an existing HSR pair that Pacemaker manages in a highly available setup. For example, you can deploy these additional sites in a second Azure region for disaster recovery (DR) purposes.

Failure of the third node won't trigger any cluster action. The cluster detects the replication status of connected sites and the monitored attribute for the third site can change between `SOK` and `SFAIL` states. Any takeover tests to the third/DR site or executing your DR exercise process should first place the cluster resources into maintenance mode to prevent any undesired cluster action.

With the SAP HANA HA provider [SAPHanaSrMultiTarget](./sap-hana-high-availability-scale-out-hsr-suse.md#implement-hana-ha-hooks-saphanasrmultitarget-and-suschksrv), you can add a third HANA scale-out site. This third site is often used for DR in another Azure region. The Pacemaker environment is aware of a HANA multitarget DR setup. This section applies to systems running Pacemaker on SUSE only.
