Hi HANA Developers,
Quite a few of you have already asked for availability of HANA SPS6 for developers. And quite a few of you have also faced memory issues with HANA Revision 56, especially on small instances types (less than 32 GB). Well, there is light at the end of the tunnel:
With the just released SPS6, the allocation after startup of the DB is back to ~13GB. For the last few days, we were fighting the over-allocation issue (HANA showing more used memory than was actually available on the system, while OS tools such as free would still show plenty of unused memory) for systems that were upgraded from Rev 56 to Rev 60, but it seems we found a solution.
Starting next week we will roll out
- fresh master images for CloudShare, AWS, PT and KT on Revision 60 (SPS6) and following that
- update installers for CloudShare and AWS instances
- if you are running on PT or KT, you can contact devcenter@sap.com and we will help you with upgrading your instances.
