Cybersecurity is key! Don’t let your data go away or get them ransomware encrypted! Use secure infrastructure (Power or z Servers and IBM Storage)!

Important current info from SAP Note 2578899 – SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15: Installation Note and SAP Note 2684254 – SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for SLES 15 / SLES for SAP Applications 15

ONLY relevant for special x86 hardware with AVX2 extention!

NOT relevant for HANAonPOWER!

• glibc version for SLES15 SP3 and SLES15 SP4 on x86_64 CPUs with AVX2 extention
  Older glibc version could cause a crash on HANA systems.
  It is therefore recommended to update to  >= glibc-2.31-150300.46.1.
  
  The AVX2 extention can be checked with:
  # lscpu | grep avx2
  
  For more details please see: SUSE TID 21026
