HANA on IBM Power i and DB2

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is IBM Power server (795)  with i operating system (formerly known as i5/OS) a supported platform for SAP HANA ?

I checked the HANA PAM (https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000701932011E) and i don't see IBM power systems and i5/OS not mentioned anywhere. All I see is SLES 11 (SP1, SP2) as the supported OS for all hardware vendors. Does that mean SAP HANA is supported only for SLES  operating system ?

Thanks

LM
