Question Set 3

QUESTION 1
You are migrating SAP to Azure. The ASCS application servers are in one Azure zone, and the SAP database
server in in a different Azure zone. ASCS/ERS is configured for high availability.

During performance testing, you discover increased response times in Azure, even though the Azure
environment has better computer and memory configurations than the on-premises environment.

During the initial analysis, you discover an increased wait time for Enqueue.

What are three possible causes of the increased wait time? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. a missing Enqueue profile


B. disk I/O during Enqueue backup operations
C. misconfigured load balancer rules and health check probes for Enqueue and ASCS
D. active Enqueue replication
E. network latency between the database server and the SAP application servers

Correct Answer: CDE


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:

E: The network latency across Availability Zones is not the same in all Azure regions. In some cases, you can
deploy and run the SAP application layer across different zones because the network latency from one zone to
the active DBMS VM is acceptable. But in some Azure regions, the latency between the active DBMS VM and
the SAP application instance, when deployed in different zones, might not be acceptable for SAP business
processes.

Select and Place:

Correct Answer:

Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Step 1: From the Azure portal, create a service principal
The Azure connector can use a Service Principal to authorize against Microsoft Azure. Follow these steps to
create a Service Principal for SAP Landscape Management (LaMa).

Step 2: Add permissions to the service principal


The Service Principal does not have permissions to access your Azure resources by default. You need to give
the Service Principal permissions to access them.

Step 3: From the Cloud Managers tab in LaMa, add an adapter


Create a new connector in SAP LaMa
Open the SAP LaMa website and navigate to Infrastructure. Go to tab Cloud Managers and click on Add.
Select the Microsoft Azure Cloud Adapter

Step 4: Install and configure LaMA on an SAP NetWeater instance


Provision a new adaptive SAP system
You can manually deploy a new virtual machine or use one of the Azure templates in the quickstart repository.
It contains templates for SAP NetWeaver ASCS, SAP NetWeaver application servers, and the database. You
can also use these templates to provision new hosts as part of a system copy/clone etc.

Note: To support customers on their journey into a cloud model (hybrid or entirely public cloud), SAP and
Microsoft partnered to create an adapter that integrates the SAP management capabilities of LaMa with the
IaaS advantages of Microsoft Azure.

Question Set 2

QUESTION 1
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in
the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have
more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these
questions will not appear in the review screen.

You deploy SAP HANA on Azure (Large Instances).

You need to back up the SAP HANA database to Azure.

Solution: You create a Recovery Services vault and a backup policy.

Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Backup architecture
The backup process begins by creating a Recovery services vault in Azure. This vault will be used to store
the backups and recovery points created over time.
The Azure VM running SAP HANA server is registered with the vault, and the databases to be backed-up
are discovered. To enable the Azure Backup service to discover databases, a preregistration script must
be run on the HANA server as a root user.
This script creates AZUREWLBACKUPHANAUSER DB user and a corresponding key with the same name
in hdbuserstore. Refer to the setting up permissions section to understand more about what the script
does.
Azure Backup Service now installs the Azure Backup Plugin for HANA on the registered SAP HANA
server.
The AZUREWLBACKUPHANAUSER DB user created by the preregistration script is used by the Azure
Backup Plugin for HANA to perform all backup and restore operations. If you attempt to configure backup
for SAP HANA DBs without running this script, you might receive the following error:
UserErrorHanaScriptNotRun.
To configure backup on the databases that are discovered, choose the required backup policy and enable
backups.
Once the backup is configured, Azure Backup service sets up the Backint parameters at the DATABASE
level on the protected SAP HANA server.
The Azure Backup Plugin for HANA maintains all the backup schedules and policy details. It triggers the
scheduled backups and communicates with the HANA Backup Engine through the Backint APIs.
The HANA Backup Engine returns a Backint stream with the data to be backed up.
All the scheduled backups and on-demand backups (triggered from the Azure portal) that are either full or
differential are initiated by the Azure Backup Plugin for HANA. However, log backups are managed and
triggered by HANA Backup Engineitself.

QUESTION 4
You have an SAP environment on Azure that uses multiple subscriptions.

To meet GDPR requirements, you need to ensure that virtual machines are deployed only to the West Europe
and North Europe Azure regions.

Which Azure components should you use?

A. Azure resource locks and the Compliance admin center


B. Azure resource groups and role-based access control (RBAC)
C. Azure management groups and Azure Policy
D. Azure Security Center and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) groups

Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Azure Policy enables you to set policies to conform to the GDPR. Azure Policy is generally available today at
no additional cost to Azure customers. You can use Azure Policy to define and enforce policies that help your
cloud environment become compliant with internal policies as well as external regulations.

Azure Policy is deeply integrated into Azure Resource Manager and applies across all resources in Azure.
Individual policies can be grouped into initiatives to quickly implement multiple rules. You can also use Azure
Policy in a wide range of compliance scenarios, such as ensuring that your data is encrypted or remains in a
specific region as part of GDPR compliance. Microsoft is the only hyperscale cloud provider to offer this level
of policy integration built in to the platform for no additional charge.

Correct Answer:
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:

Box 1: the same fault domain


Fault domains define the group of virtual machines that share a common power source and network switch. If
a storage fault domain fails due to hardware or software failure, only the VM instance with disks on the storage
fault domain fails.

Box 2: managed disks


Managed disks provide better reliability for Availability Sets by ensuring that the disks of VMs in an Availability
Set are sufficiently isolated from each other to avoid single points of failure. It does this by automatically
placing the disks in different storage fault domains (storage clusters) and aligning them with the VM fault
domain.

SAP Solution Manager


SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC)
SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM)
SAP application servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2
SAP HANA database servers that run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (SLES 12)

Problem Statements

Contoso identifies the following issues in its current environment:

The SAP HANA environment lacks adequate resources.


The Windows servers are nearing the end of support.
The datacenters are at maximum capacity.

Requirements

Planned Changes

Contoso identifies the following planned changes:

Deploy Azure Virtual WAN.


Migrate the application servers to Windows Server 2016.
Deploy ExpressRoute connections to all of the offices and manufacturing facilities.
Deploy SAP landscapes to Azure for development, quality assurance, and production.

All resources for the production landscape will be in a resource group named SAPProduction.

Business goals

Minimize costs whenever possible.


Migrate SAP to Azure without causing downtime.
Ensure that all SAP deployments to Azure are supported by SAP.
Ensure that all the production databases can withstand the failure of an Azure region.
Ensure that all the production application servers can restore daily backups from the last 21 days.

Technical Requirements

Contoso identifies the following technical requirements:

Inspect all web queries.


Deploy an SAP HANA cluster to two datacenters.
Minimize the bandwidth used for database synchronization.
Use Active Directory accounts to administer Azure resources.
Ensure that each production application server has four 1-TB data disks.
Ensure that an application server can be restored from a backup created during the last five days within 15
minutes.

statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.

A. No change is needed
B. Azure AD Connect
C. Azure AD join
D. Enterprise State Roaming

Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication and Active Directory Federation Services enable you to
implement SSO across applications or services that are protected by Azure AD (as an IdP) with SAP
applications and services that are protected by SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication.

Scenario: Use Active Directory accounts to administer Azure resources.

Incorrect Answers:
Not D: With Windows 10, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users gain the ability to securely synchronize their
user settings and application settings data to the cloud. Enterprise State Roaming provides users with a
unified experience across their Windows devices and reduces the time needed for configuring a new device.
Enterprise State Roaming operates similar to the standard consumer settings sync that was first introduced in
Windows 8.

Need AD FS for MFA. See box 3.

Note: Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Pass-through Authentication allows your users to sign in to both on-
premises and cloud-based applications using the same passwords. This feature is an alternative to Azure AD
Password Hash Synchronization (see Box 2).

Box 2: Yes
Password hash synchronization is one of the sign-in methods used to accomplish hybrid identity. Azure AD
Connect synchronizes a hash, of the hash, of a users password from an on-premises Active Directory instance
to a cloud-based Azure AD instance.

Password hash synchronization is an extension to the directory synchronization feature implemented by Azure
AD Connect sync. You can use this feature to sign in to Azure AD services like Office 365. You sign in to the
service by using the same password you use to sign in to your on-premises Active Directory instance.

Box 3: Yes

QUESTION 2
DRAG DROP

You have an SAP environment on Azure.

You use Azure Site Recovery to protect an SAP production landscape.

You need to validate whether you can recover the landscape in the event of a failure. The solution must
minimize the impact on the landscape.

Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of
actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Select and Place:


Correct Answer:

Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:

Step 1: Create a virtual network...


We recommended that for test failover, you choose a network that's isolated from the production recovery site
network specific in the Compute and Network settings for each VM. By default, when you create an Azure
virtual network, it is isolated from other networks. The test network should mimic your production network:

The test network should have same number of subnets as your production network. Subnets should have the
same names.
The test network should use the same IP address range.

Step 2: Add a public IP address...


Because Site Recovery does not replicate the cloud witness, we recommend that you deploy the cloud
witness in the disaster recovery region.

Step 3: Shut down production virtual machines


Make sure that the primary VM is shut down when you run the test failover. Otherwise there will be two VMs
with the same identity, running in the same network at the same time. This can lead to unexpected
consequences.

Step 4: Select Test failover from the Recovery Plans blade

Tape backups: Azure DataBox


The Microsoft Azure Data Box cloud solution lets you send terabytes of data into Azure in a quick,
inexpensive, and reliable way. The secure data transfer is accelerated by shipping you a proprietary Data Box
storage device. Each storage device has a maximum usable storage capacity of 80 TB and is transported to
your datacenter through a regional carrier. The device has a rugged casing to protect and secure data during
the transit.

File server: Azure Storage Explorer


Azure Storage Explorer is an application which helps you to easily access the Azure storage account through
any device on any platform, be it Windows, MacOS, or Linux. You can easily connect to your subscription and
manipulate your tables, blobs, queues, and files.
