Sev A: within 1 hour
Incorrect:
* Professional Direct
$1000 per month
* Basic
Free
No case responses



You have an on-premises SAP landscape that is hosted on VMware vSphere and contains 50 virtual machines.

You need to perform a lift-and-shift migration to Azure by using Azure Migrate. The solution must minimize administrative effort.

What should you deploy first?

  1. an Azure Backup server
  2. an Azure VPN gateway
  3. an Azure Migrate configuration server
  4. an Azure Migrate process server

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Prepare a machine for the replication appliance
The Migration and modernization tool uses a replication appliance to replicate machines to Azure. The replication appliance runs the following components.
Configuration server: The configuration server coordinates communications between on-premises and Azure, and manages data replication.
Process server: The process server acts as a replication gateway. It receives replication data; optimizes it with caching, compression, and encryption, and sends it to a cache storage account in Azure.
Note: Set up the replication appliance (see step 10 below).
The first step of migration is to set up the replication appliance. To set up the appliance for physical server migration, you download the installer file for the appliance, and then run it on the machine you prepared. After installing the appliance, you register it with the Migration and modernization tool.
1. Download the replication appliance installer
2. In Discover machines > Are your machines virtualized?, select Not virtualized/Other.
3. In Target region, select the Azure region to which you want to migrate the machines.
4. Select Confirm that the target region for migration is region-name.
5. Click Create resources. This creates an Azure Site Recovery vault in the background.
6. In Do you want to install a new replication appliance?, select Install a replication appliance.
7. In Download and install the replication appliance software, download the appliance installer, and the registration key.
8. Copy the appliance setup file and key file to the Windows Server 2016 machine you created for the appliance.
9. After the installation completes, the Appliance configuration wizard will be launched automatically (You can also launch the wizard manually by using the cspsconfigtool shortcut that is created on the desktop of the appliance).
10. After the appliance has restarted after setup, in Discover machines, select the new appliance in Select Configuration Server, and click Finalize registration. Finalize registration performs a couple of final tasks to prepare the replication appliance.



You plan to deploy an SAP production landscape on Azure.

You need to estimate how many SAP operations will be processed by the landscape per hour. The solution must minimize administrative effort.

What should you use?

  1. SAP Quick Sizer
  2. SAP HANA hardware and cloud measurement tools
  3. SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit
  4. SAP GUI

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Using the SAP Quick Sizer
The SAP Quick Sizer is a web-based tool that is provided by SAP; it is available to all customers and business partners of SAP. Sizing information is input directly into the tool. The tool sizes SAP HANA or SAP NetWeaver servers.
Note: Understanding SAP sizing
The SAP sizing methodology for SAP HANA or SAP NetWeaver technical applications is based on SAP benchmarks, such as information from SAP and actual customer experiences.
The base SAP workload unit is an SAP Application Performance Standard (SAPS).
The SAPS is a definition of throughput that is coined by SAP capacity planning and performance testing personnel. For example, 100 SAPS is defined as 2,000 fully business processed order-line items per hour in the standard SAP Sales and Distribution (SAP SD) application benchmark.



HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)

You plan to deploy two Azure virtual machines that will host an SAP HANA database for an SAP landscape. The virtual machines will be deployed to the same availability set.

You need to meet the following requirements:

Ensure that the virtual machines support disk snapshots.

Ensure that the virtual machine disks provide submillisecond latency for writes.

Ensure that each virtual machine can be allocated disks from a different storage cluster.

Which type of operating system disk and HANA database disk should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:


  1. See Explanation for the Answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: Premium Storage
Operating system disk:

Premium Storage is recommended for OS disks.

Incorrect:
* Ultra disk only supported for data disks.

Box 2: Azure Netapp Files
HANA database disk:

Disk snapshots is supported by Azure Netapp Files

Incorrect:
* Ultra disk
Disk snapshots not possible for Ultra disks

* Premium storage
Disk snapshots not possible for Premium storage



You are designing an SAP HANA deployment.

You estimate that the database will be 1.8 TB in three years.

You need to ensure that the deployment supports 60,000 IOPS. The solution must minimize costs and provide the lowest latency possible.

Which type of disk should you use?

  1. Standard HDD
  2. Standard SSD
  3. Ultra disk
  4. Premium SSD

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Azure SAP HANA disk types ultra premium standard IOPS TB
Premium SSD supports 80,000 IOPS.
Note:



Azure managed disks currently offers five disk types, each intended to address a specific customer scenario:
Ultra disks (more expensive)
Premium SSD v2
Premium SSDs (solid-state drives)
Standard SSDs (too low IOPS)
Standard HDDs (hard disk drives) (too low IOPS)
