The SAP certification for SAP HANA on VxRail P-Series HCI limits the deployment to four production SAP HANA VMs per physical VxRail node and two VMs per socket (half-socket). The SAP certification for SAP HANA on VxRail D-Series and E-Series HCI limits the deployment to two production SAP HANA VMs per physical VxRail node.
Note: This limitation does not apply to nonproduction SAP HANA VMs.
While it is possible to deploy up to four production SAP HANA VMs (P-Series) and up to two production SAP HANA VMs (D/E-Series) on a physical host, it is recommended to have enough free resources to allow vSphere HA to perform an automatic restart of the SAP HANA VMs on another host if a hardware problem causes a failure of one host. See
Table 6 for the standby node sizing recommendations.
