HANA 2.0 on VMware vSphere: SLES 15 certification

[mbortolon]

Hello experts

I know that HANA 2.0 and SLES 15 are certificated to run on VMware vSphere 6.7 and I know that HANA 2.0 SPS3 release 34 is certificated to run on SLES 15 (note 2235581), but reading this SAP WIKI it seems that SLES 15 is not supported to run HANA 2.0 on VMWare:

How can I be sure that I can install HANA 2.0 release 34 on SLES 15 for SAP in a VMWare TDI environment ?

Thanks,
Marco

I check this Information with VMware and they describes the topic in the below blog, which setups of HANA in vSphere are certified and supported. This can be found here:

By running the SAP HANA platform virtualized on VMware vSphere, SAP customers can leverage an industry standard data center platform, optimized for agility, high availability, cost savings, and easy provisioning.

VMware itself is supporting SLES 15 for vSphere 6.5 and 6.7. HANA support for SLES 15 is described in the following blog from SAP:

HANA Revision Strategy SAP is shipping regular corrections and updates. Corrections are shipped in the form of Revisions and Support Packages of the product’s components.

They say, if the customer complies with the described setup specifications from the two blogs (please check also SAP note#2235581) he can install HANA in vSphere 6.5/6.7 on SLES 15.

Hi Marco,

to complete the answer of hakan.haslaman: There is a new SAP note which has been released a few days ago:

2735304 - HANA 2.0 on VMware vSphere with SLES 15

Just if you need an official statement 😉
