The SAP certification for this solution limits the deployment to up to four production SAP HANA VMs per physical vSAN Ready Node and two production VMs per socket (half-socket).
Note: This limitation does not apply to nonproduction SAP HANA VMs.
While it is possible to deploy four production SAP HANA VMs on a physical host, we recommend that you consider having enough free resources to allow vSphere HA to perform an automatic restart of the SAP HANA VMs on another host if one host fails due to a hardware problem. See Table 2 for our sizing recommendations for standby nodes.
