PDF with 412 Questions

You plan to deploy an SAP production landscape in Azure.

You need to recommend a solution to automate the deployment. The solution must meet the following requirements:

Follow Microsoft best practices.

Support the use of Ansible customizations.

Include both infrastructure and operating system configurations.

What should you include in the recommendation?

  1. SAP Landscape Management (LaMa)
  2. SAP on Azure Deployment Automation Framework
  3. Azure DevOps Starter
  4. Azure Center for SAP solutions

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When you use SAP Deployment Automation Framework, you can perform an automated infrastructure deployment. You can also do the required operating system configurations and install SAP by using Ansible playbooks provided in the repository. These playbooks are located in the automation framework repository in the /sap-automation/deploy/ansible folder.

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains a virtual machine named VM1 that runs SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and was created by using an Azure Marketplace image.

You plan to deploy four virtual machines based on VM1 that will have the SAP Web Dispatcher role.

You need to create a generalized image of VM1.

What should you do first?

  1. Install the Custom Script Extension.
  2. Run sysprep.
  3. Install the Azure Linux VM agent.
  4. Run waagent.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

* The SAP Web dispatcher lies between the Internet and your SAP system. It is the entry point for HTTP(s) requests into your system, which consists of one or more NetWeaver application servers.
* What is the Azure Linux Agent?
The Microsoft Azure Linux Agent (waagent) manages both Linux & FreeBSD provisioning, and virtual machine (VM) interaction with the Azure Fabric Controller. Besides the Linux Agent providing provisioning functionality, Azure also provides the option of using cloud-init for some Linux operating systems.
* High availability for SAP NetWeaver on Azure VMs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications SAP NetWeaver application server preparation
Some databases require that the database instance installation is executed on an application server. Prepare the application server virtual machines to be able to use them in these cases.
The steps bellow assume that you install the application server on a server different from the ASCS/SCS and HANA servers. Otherwise some of the steps below (like configuring host name resolution) aren't needed.
1. Configure operating system
2. Set up host name resolution
3. Create the sapmnt directory
4. Configure autofs
5. Configure SWAP file
sudo vi /etc/waagent.conf
# Set the property ResourceDisk.EnableSwap to y
# Create and use swapfile on resource disk.
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
# Set the size of the SWAP file with property ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB # The free space of resource disk varies by virtual machine size. Make sure that you do not set a value that is too big. You can check the SWAP space with command swapon
# Size of the swapfile.
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=2000
Restart the Agent to activate the change
sudo service waagent restart



You have a Hyper-V virtual machine named VM1 that runs Windows Server 2019.

You plan to deploy 10 Azure virtual machines based on VM1. The virtual machines will host instances of SAP NetWeaver.

You need to create an image of VM1 for the deployment.

What should you do first?

  1. Run the Sysprep utility.
  2. Join VM1 to an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain.

  3. Configure Azure Site Recovery.
  4. Upload the VHDX of VM1 to an Azure Storage account.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Need to migrate the Hyper-V virtual machine into Azure.
For migrating Hyper-V VMs, the Migration and modernization tool installs software providers (Azure Site Recovery provider and Recovery Services agent) on Hyper-V hosts or cluster nodes.



You have an Azure subscription that contains a Windows-based SAP deployment.

You plan to register the SAP deployment with Azure Center for SAP solutions.

You need to verify that SAP system-level prerequisites are met.

Which command should you run?

  1. saposcol
  2. sapacext
  3. saphostexec
  4. hostexecstart

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Register an existing SAP system with Azure Center for SAP solutions with PowerShell Prerequisites for Registering a system include:
Make sure the sapstartsrv process is running on all SAP instances and for SAP hostctrl agent on all the VMs in the SAP system.
-> To start hostctrl sapstartsrv use this command for Linux VMs: 'hostexecstart -start' To start instance sapstartsrv use the command: 'sapcontrol -nr 'instanceNr' -function StartService S0S' To check status of hostctrl sapstartsrv use this command for Windows VMs: C:\Program Files\SAP\hostctrl \exe\saphostexec status



HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)

You have an on-premises SAP landscape that contains an SAP HANA database.

You plan to migrate the SAP landscape to Azure.

You need to recommend a migration tool that meets the following requirements:

Minimizes downtime during the migration


Migrates the HANA database servers to Azure virtual machines


Which tool should you use to migrate SAP Central Services (SCS) and HANA? 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: Azure Migrate
SAP Central Services (SCS)

Azure Migrate provides a simplified migration, modernization, and optimization service for Azure. All pre- migration steps such as discovery, assessments, and right-sizing of on-premises resources are included for infrastructure, data, and applications. Azure Migrate's extensible framework allows for integration of third-party tools, thus expanding the scope of supported use-cases

Box 2: S/4HANA Migration Cockpit
HANA

The SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit is a tool developed by SAP and successor to LSMW for data migration to SAP S/4HANA. It is currently the only tool for migration to the cloud.

Incorrect:
* Azure Database Migration Service
Is for SQL Server datbases.

* HANA Cockpit
The SAP HANA cockpit provides aggregate, system and database administration features, for example, database monitoring, user management, and data backup. Administrators can use the SAP HANA cockpit to start and stop services, to monitor the system, to configure system settings, and to manage users and authorizations.
