AZ-120 Exam - Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads

NEW QUESTION 1

You are deploying an SAP environment on Azure that will use an SAP HANA database server.
You provision an Azure virtual machine for SAP HANA by using the M64s virtual machine SKU.
You need to set the swap space by using the Microsoft Azure Linux Agent (waagent) configuration file. Which two settings should you configure? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. ResourceDisk.EnableSwapEncryption=n

NEW QUESTION 2

You migrate SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) production and non-production landscapes to Azure. You are licensed for SAP Landscape Management (LaMa).
You need to refresh from the production landscape to the non-production 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.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

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.

NEW QUESTION 3

You deploy an SAP environment on Azure.
Your company has a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.99% for SAP. You implement Azure Availability Zones that have the following components:
* Redundant SAP application servers
* ASCS/ERS instances that use a failover cluster
* Database high availability that has a primary instance and a secondary instance
You need to validate the load distribution to the application servers. What should you use?

• A. SAP Solution Manager
• B. Azure Monitor
• C. SAPControl
• D. SAP Web Dispatcher

Answer: D

Explanation:
Load balancers. These are used to distribute traffic to virtual machines in the application-tier subnet. For high availability, use the built-in SAP Web Dispatcher, Azure Load Balancer, or network appliances, depending on the traffic type (such as HTTP or SAPGUI) or the required network services, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) termination.

NEW QUESTION 4

Your on-premises network contains an Active Directory domain.
You have an SAP environment on Azure that runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) servers. You configure the SLES servers to use domain controllers as their NTP servers and their DNS servers. You need to join the SLES servers to the Active Directory domain.
Which three 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.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Step 1: Install the samba-winbind package Install samba-winbind

You have an on-premises SAP environment hosted on VMware vSphere. You plan to migrate the environment to Azure by using Azure Site Recovery. You need to prepare the environment to support Azure Site Recovery.
What should you deploy first?

• A. an on-premises data gateway to vSphere
• B. Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
• C. an Azure Backup server
• D. a configuration server to vSphere

NEW QUESTION 19

You are planning the Azure network infrastructure for an SAP environment.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
Box 2: No
A design that's not supported is the segregation of the SAP application layer and the DBMS layer into different Azure virtual networks that aren't peered with each other. We recommend that you segregate the SAP application layer and DBMS layer by using subnets within an Azure virtual network instead of by using different Azure virtual networks.
Box 3: Yes
Be aware that network traffic between two peered Azure virtual networks is subject to transfer costs. Huge data volume that consists of many terabytes is exchanged between the SAP application layer and the DBMS layer. You can accumulate substantial costs if the SAP application layer and DBMS layer are segregated between two peered Azure virtual networks.

NEW QUESTION 20

You have an on-premises SAP environment that uses AIX servers and IBM DB2 as the database platform. You plan to migrate SAP to Azure. In Azure, the SAP workloads will use Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server as the database platform.
What should you use to export from DB2 and import the data to SQL Server?

• A. R3load
• B. Azure SQL Data Warehouse
• C. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
• D. R3trans
