There are two major considerations for customers when planning to run virtual SAP HANA on Optane PMem.įor customers planning to use VMware High Availability (HA), this is currently not supported for SAP HANA Optane PMem-enabled VMs. VMware strongly recommends that customers get specific guidance from SAP. In this blog I describe the current support status, provide a configuration overview and some information on how to configure an SAP HANA database on vSphere that leverages Optane PMem.Īdditional considerations before I cover the details: For details check out SAP Note 2913410.Ĭheck also out the SAP NetWeaver and SAP HANA with VMware vSphere 7.0 blog for the latest SAP support status for this vSphere release. I am very pleased to announce that validation is complete and the deployment of up to 6 TB (DRAM plus Optane PMem) SAP HANA VMs on vSphere 6.7 (beginning with version 6.7 EP 14), as well with vSphere 7.0 (beginning with version 7.0 P01), is now supported. VMware and Intel worked with SAP to complete the validation of SAP HANA with Optane PMem enabled VMs.
VMware supports Intel Optane PMem with vSphere 6.7 and 7.0.
Because persistent memory is non-volatile, data stays in-memory when the system is powered off, which enables dramatically faster startup times of SAP HANA databases and increased system uptime. Increases in memory density combined with the power of virtualization, will help enterprises improve their overall total cost of ownership. As the need for increased data processing continues to grow, optimizing SAP HANA with Intel Optane persistent memory on VMware vSphere will deliver much higher memory capacity much more affordably than with conventional DRAM memory alone. Intel Optane persistent memory (Optane PMem), is a new technology that bridges the gap between volatile DRAM and persistent storage.
