Introducing emergent host maintenance events for X4 instances running SAP HANA

To perform non-critical hardware repairs that help in preventing host errors on X4 instances, we've introduced emergent maintenance - a new type of host maintenance event.

While this is a type of unplanned maintenance, it's similar in nature to a planned host maintenance event because of the following features:

• It has a 14-day advance notification period.
• You can manually trigger it, or let Google trigger it for you at the planned start date and time.

For more information, see Manage host maintenance events for X4 instances running SAP HANA.
