Table 7. Comments

Please include any relevant comments you may have in regards to this request:

[1]Please check SAP note1788665 - SAP HANA Support for VMware Virtualized Environments for details.

[2]Maximum HANA VM size supported is 1TB. Only single-node solutions supported on VMware.

[3]BusinessObjects BI 4.0 sizing can also be sized with the SAP QuickSizer.

[4]HP CS500 scale-out solutions and HP CS900 solutions require HP-provided racks.

[5]SAP NetWeaver NW 7.02 / Windows or Linux required. It Could run on an existing server. More information may be required to properly size the SLT server.

[6]For new deployments, please use the QuickSizer and provide QS project details in Table 2

[7]SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 SPS5 is the minimum release required for BW/HANA

[8]SAP HANA only runs on SLES, but the rest of the infrastructure can run on any supported OS

[9]SAP HANA only runs on SLES, but the rest of the infrastructure can run on any supported OS

[10]A dual-role configuration is one where a non-PRD system serves an additional purpose as target failover for PRD (either local HA and/or DR). Please be aware that failover in dual-role configurations takes longer than with a dedicated standby system because of the time required to shutdown the non-PRD environment prior to bringing up the PRD environment. In addition, dual-role configurations require additional storage.
