The underlying hardware must be certified by SAP's ICC for SAP HANA.
Do not use memory compression techniques like KSM.

SAP HANA needs the full instruction set of the host CPU(s). Adjust the settings for the VM accordingly.
For monitoring and system management purposes, VMware Tools must be installed and running as well.
For performance reasons, the SAP HANA file systems should reside on separate VMDK files.
For tuning the operating environment, have a look at the sections above in this guide.
