Support for Non-HANA VMWare Guests in multiple VM Scenario?

[pauler]

Dear Folks,

we are currently in discussion with a customer whether it is supported to run non-HANA guests (e.g. the SAP application server) on the same VMware Cluster which are hosting the HANA guests. Do you have any information about that? Prerequisite is, that SAP confirmed the participation in the controlled availability program for the multiple VM scenario for production and that there are sufficient ressources on the physical host available.

All I found so far is that there are just the HANA guests running on the VMware cluster. What I also found was that it is supported to run the ABAP instance on the same server as the HANA database (as of Netweaver 7.4).

Can anyone assist in this case? Are there sources which can be quoted?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Robert

Hi Robert,

afaik if it is a prod environment it is CA to run other VMs besides. For non prod it is GA.

Here is the last detail which I have got from vmware (Source: Teched2015 11/2015):

Hi Jens,

thanks heaps for this information. "Other virtual machines fully supported for productive scenarios" is exactly what I was looking for.
