It is possible to deploy an SAP HANA Scale Out deployment on VMware vSphere. The purpose of this guide will be to show how this can be accomplished.

Note:

Taking virtual machine backups which include the SAP HANA data and log volumes will no longer be possible with this implementation. Instead use backint/, file or data snapshots as a data protection mechanism.
