SAP HANA VMWARE 6.0 HOW TO
Documentation and / or tool-support for table distribution, sizing, partitioning, scale-out and how to configure SAP and 3rd party products on SAP HANA has to be provided by SAP, partners or customers resp.Further supported workloads of OLAP-type (HANA Data Mart, HANA Data Warehouse) generated by SAP and non-SAP tools: SAP support for SAP HANA scale-out deployments of SAP Business Warehouse (BW), powered by SAP HANA, on VMware vSphere as outlined in the table in context of SAP BW, powered by SAP HANA.SAP HANA on vSphere supported capabilities and options Supported SAP HANA Storage Systems for virtualisation Īll SAP HANA TDI and VMware certified / supported storage solutions can get used. Only SAP HANA and VMware certified two-, four- and eight socket Intel E7 v2 (Ivy Bridge) and later Intel processor-based server systems, as well as Intel Xeon E5 v3 and v4 based two-socket single node SAP HANA entry level systems, with a minimum of eight cores per CPU are supported. Supported SAP HANA Systems for VMware virtualization VMware vSphere and SAP HANA HA and Operation Features For additional reference, see SAP Note 1788665 et. The below table states capabilities, supported deployment options and best practices, like minimal vCPU count or maximal vRAM sizes for SAP HANA VMs on VMware vSphere as of May 2016. Please be aware that the use of CPU hot-add feature disables vNUMA and hence may lead to performance degradation. Noticing a certain interest in our CPU hot-add feature, w e would like to highlight that the use of this capability also requires the OS and the SAP HANA database itself to be capable of leveraging the additional resources instantly.We recommend to read VMware KB 144984 and configure hosts correspondingly. We have lately seen some issues with VMs configured with large virtual hardware resources and memory-intensive workloads becoming temporally unresponsive after vMotion has completed.Customers running SAP HANA on VMware shall follow the Architecture Guidelines and Best Practices for Deployments of SAP HANA on VMware vSphere.
SAP HANA VMWARE 6.0 UPGRADE
Supporting more physical compute resources inside a VM ultimately provides more “power” to a virtualized SAP HANA system – this alone is worth considering an upgrade from a vSphere 5.5 to a vSphere 6.0 based SAP HANA environment.Beside increased RAM sizes, vSphere 6 supports also more vCPUs: Up to 128 vCPUs may now be configured and used by a single SAP HANA VM.

These and other advanced features – to an large extend found exclusively in virtualization – lower the total cost of ownership and ensures the best operational performance and availability.
