Question #6 Topic 1

A company is using SAP NetWeaver with Java on AWS. The company has updated its generation of Amazon EC2 instances to the most recent generation of EC2 instances. When the company tries to start SAP, the startup fails. The log indicates that the SAP license expired or is not valid. What is the reason for this issue?

A The instance ID changed as part of the EC2 generation change.
B The instance’s hypervisor changed from Xen to Nitro.
C The SAP Java Virtual Machine (SAP JVM) is not compatible with the new instance type.
D An EC2 generation change is not supported for SAP Java-based systems.

Suggested Answer: C
NOTE: The SAP license expiration or invalidity is most likely due to SAP JVM not being compatible with the new EC2 instance type.

Question #7 Topic 1

A company runs its SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 8 system on SAP HANA on AWS. The system is deployed on an r4.16xlarge Amazon EC2 instance with default tenancy. The company needs to migrate the SAP HANA database to an x2gd.16xlarge High Memory instance. After an operations engineer changes the instance type and starts the instance, the AWS Management Console shows a failed instance status check. What is the cause of this problem?

A The operations engineer missed the network configuration step during the post-migration activities.
B The operations engineer missed the Amazon CloudWatch configuration step during the post-migration activities.
C The operations engineer did not install Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) drivers before changing the instance type.
D The operations engineer did not create a new AMI from the original instance and did not launch a new instance with dedicated tenancy from the AMI.

Suggested Answer: C
NOTE: The failed instance status check is likely caused by the operations engineer not installing Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) drivers before changing the instance type. ENA drivers are required for certain instance types, including the x2gd.16xlarge. Without the drivers, the instance will fail the status check.

Question #8 Topic 1

A company is planning to migrate its on-premises SAP applications to AWS. The applications are based on Windows operating systems. A file share stores the transport directories and third-party application data on the network-attached storage of the company’s on-premises data center. The company’s plan is to lift and shift the SAP applications and the file share to AWS. The company must follow AWS best practices for the migration. Which AWS service should the company use to host the transport directories and third-party application data on AWS?

A Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
B AWS Storage Gateway
C Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
D Amazon FSx for Windows File Server

Suggested Answer: D
NOTE: The company should use Amazon FSx for Windows File Server to host the transport directories and third-party application data on AWS. This is because FSx for Windows File Server provides fully managed Windows file servers that are accessible over the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It also supports Active Directory integration, which can simplify the migration of on-premises applications to AWS. Additionally, FSx for Windows File Server is optimized for Windows workloads, which makes it a suitable choice for hosting the company's SAP applications.

Question #9 Topic 1

A company has moved all of its SAP workloads to AWS. During peak business hours, end users are reporting performance issues because work processes are going into PRIV mode on an SAP S/4HANA system. An SAP support engineer indicates that SAP cannot provide support for this issue because some specific performance metrics are not available. Which combination of actions must the company perform to comply with SAP support requirements? (Choose three.)

A Buy an SAP license from AWS. Ensure that the SAP license is installed.
B Select only an AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) certified managed service provider (MSP).
C Enable detailed monitoring for Amazon CloudWatch on each Amazon EC2 instance where SAP workloads are running.
D Install, configure, and run the AWS Data Provider for SAP on each Amazon EC2 instance where SAP workloads are running.
E Integrate AWS Systems Manager with SAP Solution Manager to provide alerts about SAP parameter configuration drift.
F Enable SAP enhanced monitoring through a SAPOSCOL enhanced function.

Suggested Answer: A
NOTE:

Question #10 Topic 1

A company is running SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) with a Microsoft SQL Server database on AWS. A solutions architect must attach an additional 1 TB Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. The company needs to write the SQL Server database backups to this EBS volume before moving the database backups to Amazon S3 for long-term storage. Which EBS volume type will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

A Throughput Optimized HDD (st1)
B Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2)
C General Purpose SSD (gp3)
D Cold HDD (sc1)

Suggested Answer: C
NOTE: The General Purpose SSD (gp3) volume type is the best option for this scenario as it offers a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. It provides a baseline performance of 3,000 IOPS and 125 MB/s throughput, which is sufficient for writing SQL Server database backups. It also offers cost savings compared to Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) and Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) volume types, which are more expensive due to their higher performance capabilities.
