Overview Product Availability Matrix for SAP on Red Hat

Updated

This page provides an overview on SAP supported product release combinations for running SAP workload on top of Red Hat products, such as SAP HANA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions, or SAP Data Intelligence on OpenShift Container Platform. In doubt, the center of truth remains within the mentioned SAP Notes (SAP S-User required). For better readability of this article, RHEL is used as a synonym for Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions.

General SAP support / non-HANA Certifications

Non-SAP HANA applications, such as SAP NetWeaver, BI and S/4 do not require certification for individual minor versions on RHEL. Once issued by SAP, the support statement is valid for all subsequent minor versions of that particular RHEL major release. Please see the Content from support.sap.com is not included.SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM) for more details, e.g. platform availability, including database platform and operating systems. The Content from support.sap.com is not included.PAM also offers information about SAP software releases, release types, maintenance durations, planned availability, and upgrade paths.

General Documentation

SAP HANA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions

For SAP HANA only specific combinations of SAP HANA SPs and RHEL minor releases are certified by SAP. In addition to the general certification of the RHEL minor releases by SAP, the hardware partners and cloud providers must certify their servers / cloud instances for running specific combinations of SAP HANA and RHEL. For SAP HANA appliance setups customers will have to wait for the appliance vendor to certify their appliance setup for running HANA on RHEL X.y. For SAP HANA TDI setups customers can start using SAP HANA on RHEL X.y if they are using hardware that is listed as certified for HANA TDI in the SAP HANA Hardware Directory
