* SAP Dialog Instances (PAS and AAS) (like **sapa02** and **sapa04**), can be installed on separate VMs. Install SAP ASCS and ERS with virtual hostnames. To learn more on how to assign virtual hostname to a VM, refer to the blog [Use SAP Virtual Host Names with Linux in Azure](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/running-sap-applications-on-the/use-sap-virtual-host-names-with-linux-in-azure/ba-p/3251593).

* With HANA DB, ASCS/SCS and ERS deployment in the same cluster setup, the instance number of HANA DB, ASCS and ERS must be different.

* Consider sizing your VM SKUs appropriately based on the sizing guidelines. You have to factor in the cluster behavior where multiple SAP instances (HANA DB, ASCS and ERS) may run on a single VM, when other VM in the cluster is unavailable.

* To install additional application servers on separate VMs, you can either use NFS shares or local managed disk for instance directory filesystem. If you're installing additional application servers for SAP J2EE system, `/usr/sap/<SID>/J<nr>` on NFS on Azure Files isn't supported.
