Correct Answer:
Box 1: No -
Azure Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region protecting customers' applications and data from datacenter-level failures. It is good for applications that require low-latency synchronous replication with protection from datacenter-level failures.
Box 2: Yes -
AAP application server to database server latency can be tested with ABAPMeter report /SSA/CAT.
Box 3: Yes -
To analyze network issue or measure network metrics you can test the connection using SAP's NIPING program. You can use NIPING to analyze the network connection between any two machines running SAP software.

Question #32
You deploy an SAP environment on Azure.
You need to validate the load distribution to the application servers.
What should you use?
You need to validate the load distribution to the application servers.
What should you use?
- ASAPControl
- BSAP Solution Manager
- CAzure Monitor
- DSAP Web Dispatcher
Correct Answer:
D
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.

Solution: You create a Recovery Services vault and a backup policy.
Does this meet the goal?
- AYes
- BNo
Correct Answer:
A
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.

- Cuser-defined routing
- DExpressRoute
Correct Answer:
C
You can create custom, or user-defined, routes in Azure to override Azure's default system routes, or to add additional routes to a subnet's route table. In Azure, you create a route table, then associate the route table to zero or more virtual network subnets.
Incorrect Answers:
D: ExpressRoute is a costly solution.
