Question 1
Drag and Drop Question
You have an Azure subscription that contains a D-series virtual machine named SQL1.
You plan to deploy an SAP landscape on Azure that will have Microsoft SQL Server installed.
You install a SQL server on SQL1 and place databases and logs on separate disks.
You need to configure caching for the disks.
Which type of cache should you configure for each disk? To answer, drag the appropriate cache types to the correct disks. Each cache type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
Yes - You can use niping to examine network latency between an SAP HANA database and a SAP application server hosted on Azure.
Collecting and displaying niping network latency measurements with Azure Monitor You can set up periodic niping monitoring within an SAP infrastructure driven by the Telegraf monitoring agent, and reported via the Azure Monitor facility.
Box 2: No
No - You can use LoadRunner to generate traffic between a client and an SAP application server hosted on Azure.
Box 3: Yes
Example:
Optimizing Network Throughput on Azure M-series VMs
The SAP HCMT Network Topology Test, niping and/or iperf3 results are below the expected values in a VM hosted on Azure M-series under some circumstances.
The SAP HCMT output could show errors such as those in the screenshot below.
The error below shows a 5-node scale-out SAP HANA landscape. The problem is most often seen on SAP HANA scale-out systems, but may occur on large Oracle or DB2 systems.
The network optimization described in this blog may benefit Azure NetApp Files (ANF) scenarios as well, such as a large Oracle server running dNFS to ANF.
Question 3
Hotspot Question
You have two Azure subscriptions named Sub1 and Sub2. Sub1 is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant named contoso.com that contains an SAP production landscape. Sub2 is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant named fabrikam.com and contains an Azure key vault named KV1, a virtual machine named VM1, and a storage account named storage1.
You plan to link Sub2 to contoso.com and integrate Sub2 with the SAP landscape.
You need to recommend the role that must be used to link Sub2 to contoso.com, and the resources in Sub2 that must be remediated once Sub2 is linked to contoso.com. The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Owner
When linking a Microsoft Entra tenant subscription to an Azure SAP landscape subscription, the Owner role is the appropriate role to use within the Azure subscription. This role provides the necessary permissions to manage the subscription, including integrating it with the Microsoft Entra tenant.
Owner role:
This role has the highest level of access to a subscription, allowing the user to manage all aspects of the subscription, including linking it to a Microsoft Entra tenant.
Box 2: KV1
To securely manage your SAP landscape in Azure, you'll need to link your Azure subscriptions to your Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) and utilize Azure Key Vault for storing and managing secrets. This ensures your SAP systems can access necessary credentials without hardcoding them, enhancing security and simplifying deployment.
Note: In Azure, remediation refers to the process of taking corrective action to bring resources into compliance with defined policies or recommendations. This is typically achieved by using Azure Policy remediation tasks, which can deploy templates or modify existing resources to ensure they meet the specified requirements.

Question 4
You have a two-node SAP HANA cluster that is hosted on Azure virtual machines. Each cluster node uses Azure NetApp Files to store database files. The nodes replicate synchronously by using HANA system replication.
You need to implement a backup solution for the HANA databases. The solution must meet the following requirements:
- Be cluster aware.
- Support the use of snapshots.
- Ensure that backups are application consistent.
