SAP HANA Supported Operating Systems

SAP Note
2235581 - SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems

Component: HAN-DB (SAP HANA Database), Version: 80, Released On: 11.12.2023
Symptom
You want to know which operating system versions are supported for SAP HANA database.
Other Terms
HANA, DB, BW on HANA, RHEL, RHEL for SAP Solutions, SLES, SLES for SAP Applications
Reason and Prerequisites

A new operating system version might require a certain HANA Service Pack Stack (SPS) revision in order to be supported.
Solution
For better readability of this SAP Note - if not mentioned explicitly otherwise - "RHEL" is used as a synonym for "Red Hat
Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA" (RHEL for SAP HANA) and "Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions" (RHEL for SAP
Solutions).
Furthermore "SLES" is used as a synonym for "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" (SLES) and "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for
SAP Applications" (SLES for SAP Applications).
NOTE: The attached PDF file outlines which combinations of RHEL Minor Releases or SLES Support Packages are
supported with the various SAP HANA versions.
Consider RHEL Minor Releases or SLES Support Packages not explicitly listed in this SAP Note and the attached PDF file as
not supported.
At minimum the specified HANA Service Pack Stack (SPS) revision needs to be used when running the given OS version. This
includes newer revisions within the specified SPS as well as newer Service Pack Stacks within the specified HANA version.
Please also note that other SAP software solutions define their own release strategy for operating systems and can have
stricter requirements than those listed in this SAP Note. For S/4HANA- respective SAP NetWeaver-based software please
consult the SAP Product Availability Matrix.
Check the information in the related SAP Notes and other information sources. This SAP Note only refers to technical
information in other information sources and is not the origin of this information. In addition consider to check also related
notes of solutions installed on top or using this SAP HANA installation. These applications might define further restrictions to
be adhered to (e.g. SAP S/4HANA). The purpose of this SAP Note is to provide an overview of already existing information
sources. This SAP Note will be updated regularly.
SAP Certified Hardware for SAP HANA
Hardware that has been certified within the SAP HANA hardware certification program has been certified on a specific
operating system version. The Hardware Directory shows the supported combinations of hardware and operating
system. This approach applies to both appliance and TDI. Certified hardware exists for the operating system
versions mentioned below.
For more information, see the Certified and Supported SAP HANA® Hardware Directory and SAP Note 1943937 Hardware
Configuration Check Tool - Central Note.
