Question 3 Topic 5, Mixed Questions
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
Answer:
D
Explanation:
When you set up disaster recovery for on-premises VMware VMs, Site Recovery needs access to the vCenter
Server/vSphere host so that the Site Recovery process server can automatically discover VMs, and fail them over as
needed. By default the process server runs on the Site Recovery configuration server. Add an account for the configuration
server to connect to the vCenter Server/vSphere host.

Question 4 Topic 5, Mixed Questions
You need direct connectivity from an on-premises network to SAP HANA (Large Instances). The solution must meet the
following requirements:
Minimize administrative effort.
Provide the highest level of resiliency.
What should you use?
- A. ExpressRoute Global Reach
- B. Linux IPTables
- C. ExpressRoute
- D. NGINX as a reverse proxy
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The Azure network functionality used is:
Azure virtual networks are connected to the ExpressRoute circuit that connects to your on-premises network assets.
An ExpressRoute circuit that connects on-premises to Azure should have a minimum bandwidth of 1 Gbps or higher. This
minimal bandwidth allows adequate bandwidth for the transfer of data between on-premises systems and systems that run
on VMs. It also allows adequate bandwidth for connection to Azure systems from on-premises users.
All SAP systems in Azure are set up in virtual networks to communicate with each other.

Explanation:
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.
Incorrect Answers:
Not Azure Data Box Edge: Azure Data Box Edge is rebranded as Azure Stack Edge. Azure Stack Edge is a Hardware-as-a-
service solution. Microsoft ships you a cloud-managed device with a built-in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that
enables accelerated AI-inferencing and has all the capabilities of a network storage gateway.

Question 7 Topic 5, Mixed Questions
HOTSPOT
You have an on-premises SAP landscape and an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNET1. VNET1
has the following settings.
You plan to migrate the landscape to Azure.
You need to configure VNET1 to support the SAP landscape.
Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in
the settings.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: add a virtual network gateway
Box 2: use remote gateways
Each virtual network, regardless of whether peered with another virtual network, can still have its own gateway to connect to
an on-premises network. When you peer virtual networks, you can also configure the gateway in the peered virtual network
as a transit point to an on-premises network. In this case, the virtual network that uses a remote gateway cannot have its
own gateway. A virtual network can have only one gateway that can be either a local or remote gateway (in the peered
virtual network).

Question 8 Topic 5, Mixed Questions
You plan to deploy an SAP landscape that will have virtual machines deployed to multiple Azure regions.
You need to ensure that the virtual machines can communicate across the regions.
What should you configure?
- A. virtual network peering in Azure
- B. Azure Bastion hosts
- C. local network gateways
- D. Azure Relay
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Depending on the rules and restrictions you want to apply between the different virtual networks hosting VMs of different
SAP systems, you should peer those virtual network
Note: Virtual network peering enables you to seamlessly connect two or more Virtual Networks in Azure. The virtual
networks appear as one for connectivity purposes. The traffic between virtual machines in peered virtual networks uses the
Microsoft backbone infrastructure. Like traffic between virtual machines in the same network, traffic is routed through
Microsoft's private network only.
Azure supports the following types of peering:
Virtual network peering: Connect virtual networks within the same Azure region.
Global virtual network peering: Connecting virtual networks across Azure regions.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Azure Bastion is a fully managed service that provides more secure and seamless Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and
Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) access to virtual machines (VMs) without any exposure through public IP addresses.
D: The Azure Relay service enables you to securely expose services that run in your corporate network to the public cloud.
You can do so without opening a port on your firewall, or making intrusive changes to your corporate network infrastructure.

Question 12 Topic 5, Mixed Questions
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:
Answer:
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
