SAP has certified SAP HANA on the following XC models only:
Hybrid models and other XC family models are not supported in an SAP HANA environment.
XC Family systems support up to three SAP HANA production VMs on a quad-socket XC940 node and one SAP HANA production VM on a dual-socket XC740xd node. While the minimum number of nodes for an XC Family cluster is three, Dell Technologies highly recommends using four nodes (three active nodes + one standby node) for SAP HANA production scenarios on an XC Family cluster. This configuration ensures the high availability (HA) and performance of the SAP HANA VMs during single-node failures.
The following sections of this guide describe the recommended architecture for SAP HANA systems on XC Family systems.
