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.
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.

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.
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.

A customer that has a large enterprise SAP environment plans to migrate to Azure. The environment uses
servers that run Windows Server 2016 and Microsoft SQL Server.
The environment is critical and requires a comprehensive business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)
strategy that minimizes the recovery point objective (RPO) and the recovery time objective (RTO).
The customer wants a resilient environment that has a secondary site that is at least 250 kilometers away.

Explanation:
In a Hybrid-IT scenario, Active Directory from on-premises can be extended to serve as the
authentication mechanism through an Azure deployed domain controller (as well as potentially using the
integrated DNS).
It is important to distinguish between traditional Active Directory Servers and Microsoft Azure Active Directory
that provides only a subset of the traditional on-premises AD offering. This subset include Identity and Access
Management, but does not have the full AD schema or services that many 3rd party application take
advantage of. While Azure Active Directory IS a requirement to establish authentication for the Azure virtual
machines in use, and it can synchronize users with customers’ on-premises AD, the two are explicitly different
and customers will likely continue to require full Active Directory servers deployed in Microsoft Azure.

Hot Area:
Correct Answer:
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Box 1: No
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
If your organization is federated with Azure AD, you can use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication to secure AD
FS resources, both on-premises and in the cloud. Azure MFA enables you to eliminate passwords and provide
a more secure way to authenticate.
