SAP HANA certified profiles
IBM Power Virtual Server in IBM data center
You can deploy SAP HANA on the following IBM® Power® servers:
- Power10: S1022, E1050, and E1080
- Power9: E980
You can use the UI, CLI, API, and Terraform interfaces to deploy certified SAP HANA profiles.
Power10 profiles
The following SAP HANA profiles are available for IBM Power10 processor-based servers:
| Profile | Profile type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SR2 | Custom | SR2 profiles are custom profiles that support selection of any combination of physical CPU cores and memory. Combinations that are certified by SAP for productive usage are documented in the SAP Note 2947579 - SAP HANA on IBM Power Virtual Servers and in the Certified and Supported SAP HANA Hardware directory. Custom profiles must be deployed by using the CLI or API interface. |
| SH2 | Small | Suitable for balanced workloads that require less CPU and storage consumption. |
| CH2 | Compute | Suitable for CPU-intensive workloads, such as high web traffic, production batch processing, and front-end web servers. |
| BH2 | Balanced | Suitable for midsize databases and common cloud applications with moderate traffic. |
SR2 profiles must be deployed and edited by using the CLI, API, and Terraform interfaces. You cannot switch from an SR2 profile to a different SAP HANA profile. When an SR2 profile is deployed, you can edit the core value and memory size of the virtual machine by using the UI.
Power9 profiles
The following SAP HANA profiles are available for IBM Power9 processor-based servers:
| Profile | Profile type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CNP | Custom | Ideal for test or development use only. These profiles are not intended for production use and are not supported or certified for SAP production. |
| USH1 | Small | Suitable for balanced workloads that require less CPU and storage consumption. |
| UMH | Ultra Memory | Provides the highest vCPU-to-memory ratios for serving in-memory OLTP databases, such as SAP HANA. |
| BH1 | Balanced | Suitable for midsize databases and common cloud applications with moderate traffic. |
| CH1 | Compute | Suitable for CPU-intensive workloads, such as high web traffic, production batch processing, and front-end web servers. |
