Chaps,
We are installing SAP on HANA in a SLES environment on a TDI - i.e. we shall be building our own tin and installing SAP HANA rather than installing an appliance. This will be running under VMWare, so all the HA will be handled there and we don't need the advanced HA functions of SLES for HANA. As the subscription license costs are significantly different between SLES Enterprise and SLES Enterprise for SAP, we are wondering if there are any clear reasons why we need the SAP version. Why can we not use standard SLES Enterpris?. None of the servers will be especially large - up to 256GB RAM in production.
Any advice/experiences would be welcome.
Thanks,
Graham
