In older HANA 1.0 SP12 by default cockpit was installed along with HANA Server but the newer version after HANA 2.0 SP01 higher SP level, we must install COCKPIT on a separate server to manage and monitor the HANA Landscape systems.

HANA COCKPIT can be installed on a separate  server, or we can install within the HANA server.

SAP recommended to install the HANA COCKPIT a separate server for production environment.
