Overview

Litware, Inc. is an international manufacturing company that has 3,000 employees.

Litware has two main offices. The offices are located in Miami, FL, and Madrid, Spain.

Existing Environment

Infrastructure

Litware currently uses a third-party provider to host a datacenter in Miami and a disaster recovery datacenter in Chicago, IL.

The network contains an Active Directory domain named litware.com. Litware has two third-party applications hosted in Azure.

Litware already implemented a site-to-site VPN connection between the on-premises network and Azure.

SAP Environment

Litware currently runs the following SAP products:

– Enhancement Pack6 for SAP ERP Central Component 6.0 (SAP ECC 6.0)

– SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM)

– SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM)

– SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI)

– SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW)

– SAP Solution Manager

All servers run on the Windows Server platform. All databases use Microsoft SQL Server. Currently, you have 20 production servers.

You have 30 non-production servers including five testing servers, five development servers, five quality assurance (QA) servers, and 15 pre-production servers.

Currently, all SAP applications are in the litware.com domain.

Problem Statements

The current version of SAP ECC has a transaction that, when run in batches overnight, takes eight hours to complete. You confirm that upgrading to SAP Business Suite on HANA will improve performance because of code changes and the SAP HANA database platform.

Litware is dissatisfied with the performance of its current hosted infrastructure vendor. Litware experienced several hardware failures and the vendor struggled to adequately support its 24/7 business operations.

Requirements

Business Goals

Litware identifies the following business goals:

– Increase the performance of SAP ECC applications by moving to SAP HANA. All other SAP databases will remain on SQL Server.

– Move away from the current infrastructure vendor to increase the stability and availability of the SAP services.

– Use the new Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) in Recipe Management function.

– Ensure that any migration activities can be completed within a 48-hour period during a weekend.

Planned Changes

Litware identifies the following planned changes:

– Migrate SAP to Azure.

– Upgrade and migrate SAP ECC to SAP Business Suite on HANA Enhancement Pack 8.

Technical Requirements

Litware identifies the following technical requirements:

– Implement automated backups.

– Support load testing during the migration.

– Identify opportunities to reduce costs during the migration.

– Continue to use the litware.com domain for all SAP landscapes.

– Ensure that all SAP applications and databases are highly available.

– Establish an automated monitoring solution to avoid unplanned outages.

– Remove all SAP components from the on-premises network once the migration is complete.

– Minimize the purchase of additional SAP licenses. SAP HANA licenses were already purchased.

– Ensure that SAP can provide technical support for all the SAP landscapes deployed to Azure.

You need to recommend a solution to reduce the cost of the SAP non-production landscapes after the migration.

Correct Answer:

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.

Overview

Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that has 15,000 employees.

The company uses SAP for sales and manufacturing.

Contoso has sales offices in New York and London and manufacturing facilities in Boston and Seattle.

Existing Environment

Active Directory

The network contains an on-premises Active Directory domain named ad.contoso.com. User email addresses use a domain name of contoso.com.

SAP Environment

The current SAP environment contains the following components:

– SAP Solution Manager

– SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC)

– SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM)

– SAP application servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2

– SAP HANA database servers that run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (SLES 12)

Problem Statements

Contoso identifies the following issues in its current environment:

– The SAP HANA environment lacks adequate resources.

– The Windows servers are nearing the end of support.

– The datacenters are at maximum capacity.

Requirements

Planned Changes

Contoso identifies the following planned changes:

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: Yes

The following is a quick checklist of storage configuration best practices for running your SQL Server on Azure VM:

Place data, log, and tempdb files on separate drives.

Box 2: Yes

Accelerated networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM, greatly improving its networking performance. This high-performance path bypasses the host from the data path, which reduces latency, jitter, and CPU utilization for the most demanding network workloads on supported VM types.

Box 3: No

Note: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size frame (packet), specified in bytes, that can be sent over a network interface. The MTU is a configurable setting. The default MTU used on Azure VMs, and the default setting on most network devices globally, is 1,500 bytes.

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.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

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.

Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: the same fault domain

Fault domains define the group of virtual machines that share a common power source and network switch. If a storage fault domain fails due to hardware or software failure, only the VM instance with disks on the storage fault domain fails.

Box 2: managed disks

Managed disks provide better reliability for Availability Sets by ensuring that the disks of VMs in an Availability Set are sufficiently isolated from each other to avoid single points of failure. It does this by automatically placing the disks in different storage fault domains (storage clusters) and aligning them with the VM fault domain.
