Intel Bare Metal server certified profiles for SAP HANA

{: #hana-iaas-offerings-profiles-intel-bm}

Profiles list

{: #hana-iaas-intel-bm-list}

The published names are subject to change. {: note}

This table provides an overview of the SAP-certified profiles with Intel Bare Metal:

For more information see SAP Note 2414097 - SAP Applications on {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}}: Supported DB/OS and {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} Bare Metal Server Types{: external}.

A number of these Profiles are also available as "Boot-only" which have the same configuration but only the boot drives are inserted. This configuration lets you customize the Local SSD Storage and the attachment of either Network Block or File storage options.

Understanding Bare Metal profile names

{: #hana-iaas-intel-bm-names}

The Bare Metal profile names are contextual and sequential. This example uses an SAP HANA certified server to list and describe the naming conventions:

Profile name Naming convention component What it means
BI.S3.H8401 BI Bluemix Infrastructure (former name of {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}})
S2 Series 2 (processor generation)
  • S2 is Intel Broadwell
  • S3 is Intel Skylake or Kaby Lake
  • S4 is Intel Cascade Lake
H HANA-certified server
8 8-socket server
4 4 TB RAM
01 Revision number (00 is launch, 01 is first revision, and other revisions)
A or B Available as appliances with preconfigured built-in disks (A) or as boot servers only (B)
{: caption="Table 2. Profile naming for SAP HANA" caption-side="top"}

{: #hana-iaas-intel-bm-hourly}

The following Bare Metal servers are available on Hourly Consumption Billing:

  • BI.S3.H2.192
  • BI.S3.H2.384
  • BI.S4.H2.192 Appliance
  • BI.S4.H2.384 Appliance

  • BI.S4.H2.768 (boot only)
  • BI.S4.H2.1500 (boot only)
  • BI.S4.H2.3000 (boot only)

Storage specifications

{: #hana-iaas-intel-bm-storage-specs}

The following dual-socket servers are available in the Appliance delivery model for SAP HANA, with preconfigured disk storage.

These Profiles do not use any Network Block or File storage options that are mounted to the Bare Metal server. These Profiles use only Local SSD Storage devices that are physically attached through a RAID Controller inside the server. {: note}

Boot-only servers

{: #hana-iaas-intel-bm-boot-only}

By default, {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} {{site.data.keyword.baremetal_short}} come with high-performance and highly reliable internal storage based on solid-state disks and high-performance RAID adapters.

For projects with different requirements, such as storage snapshots, that don't have a very high through-put requirement, {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} offers "boot-only servers."

Boot-only servers have the same configuration as standard {{site.data.keyword.baremetal_short}}, however, only the boot disks for the operating system are configured. The storage required for the SAP file systems - /usr/sap, /hana/shared, /hana/data, and /hana/log - is not provided, significantly reducing the server cost.

To run SAP HANA on a boot-only server, you must add {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} storage to the server.

SAP HANA Tailored Data Center Integration (TDI) requirements must be met to run SAP HANA as Production for the SAP System/s, or in a production-like environment. To fulfill SAP HANA TDI key performance indicators (TDIs), storage performance must meet minimum values.

{{site.data.keyword.filestorage_full_notm}} with Boot-only services

{: #hana-iaas-intel-bm-boot-only-file-storage}

To run SAP HANA in production and production-like setups that use {{site.data.keyword.filestorage_full_notm}}, based on the Network File System (NFS) protocol, requires:

  • Minimum of 8 K IOPS for /hana/log
  • Minimum of 7 K IOPS for /hana/data

You can share storage areas for /hana/shared with /hana/log or /hana/data if these areas are too large for your particular use case.

For non-production use, you can use one storage area for /hana/shared, /hana/log, and /hana/data.

These minimums are for either Endurance or Performance options available with {{site.data.keyword.filestorage_full_notm}}:

  • Endurance storage is a predefined IOPS per GB of storage, for example, 0.25 up to 10 IOPS per GB.
  • Performance storage has different ranges of IOPS per GB, depending on the total size of the storage device. This option is more customizable.

This table compares the file storage (using NFS protocol) and the performance IOPS range for the capacity:

File Storage capacity (GB) Performance custom IOPS
20-39 100-1,000
40-79 100-2,000
