Before you install your SAP HANA HCI system, verify that the system meets the following requirements. These prerequisites are mandatory for production landscapes and are strongly recommended for nonproduction landscapes:
- Supported operating system for your VM. See SAP Note 2235581: SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems (access requires SAP login credentials).
- Minimum VMware ESXi version of 6.7 U3. For updates about support for later versions of VMware ESXi, see SAP Note 2686722: SAP HANA virtualized on Nutanix AOS (access requires SAP login credentials).
- Minimum Nutanix AOS version of 5.15 nn. This version is a Long-Term Support (LTS) release that ensures long support cycles. Nutanix qualifies only AOS LTS releases for SAP HANA. For updates about support for later versions of AOS LTS releases, see SAP Note 2686722: SAP HANA virtualized on Nutanix AOS (access requires SAP login credentials).
- The XC nodes are using Intel Xeon Scalable (formerly Cascade Lake) processors.
- The XC Family cluster is in a healthy state. To verify this, perform the Nutanix Prism health check (see Nutanix cluster health check).
