– We disable the XS-Engine (saving a lot of memory) which you don’t have to do if you absolutely need it. We get this whole thing running in less than 16GB of RAM in the end. – Because most people are using VMs to maximise infrastructure, we’ll go through a couple of steps to really reduce the O/S memory footprint (we disable X11 as one of these steps). You can use any host OS, I’m using Windows 7 64bit. – We’ll create a basic SUSE Linux for SAP virtual machine. You need at least 20GB of RAM, although if you configure your pagefile (in Windows) on SSD or flash, you could get away with 16GB (I did !!!). – A host machine to host the virtual machine. – SAP HANA Studio rev 70 installed on a PC which can access the virtual HANA server you’re going to create (the Studio install media is contained within the HANA install media DVD, or you can download it separately). – A valid license for the HANA database (platform edition or enterprise edition). – The SUSE Linux for SAP v11 sp02 or sp03 install media (ISO). – SAP HANA In Memory DB 1.0 SPS07 install media from SAP Software Download Centre. Instead, just use the VMWare “Shared Folders” feature to share the install files from your PC into the SUSE VM.
Update: 09/2014, if you’re using SPS08 (rev 80+) then this will also work, but people have had issues trying to perform the install with the media converted to an ISO. Well, it was supposed to be 30 minutes, and it sure can be 30 minutes, providing you have the right equipment to hand.Īs I found out, working on a slow disk, limited CPU system, extended this to 2 hours from start to finish.
Instead, you can use the power of a virtual machine to get a HANA SPS07 database up and running in less than 30 minutes. Scenario: You want to prototype something and you don’t have the hardware available for a new prototype HANA database.
