About the Exam

AZ-120 is aimed at architects or engineers who design and manage SAP landscapes on Azure. It covers migrating SAP workloads, designing Azure infrastructure, implementing high availability and disaster recovery, and maintaining SAP workloads on Azure. Passing demonstrates that you can plan and administer SAP workloads using Microsoft Azure services and tools.

QuestionQ1

Design and implement high availability and disaster recovery (HADR)

You have an SAP production landscape in Azure containing a two-node SAP HANA cluster configured with HANA system replication.

You need to configure Azure Backup for the SAP databases. The solution must ensure that the databases are backed up if a node fails over.

What should you do first?

Explanation

Azure Backup requires the preregistration script to run on both nodes in an SAP HANA System Replication setup. The script prepares the HANA backup environment and enables Azure Backup to logically group the replication nodes as one data source, allowing it to connect to the new primary node after failover.

QuestionQ2

Design and implement an infrastructure to support SAP workloads on Azure

You plan to deploy an SAP workload to an Azure virtual machine with the following storage types:

  • An SAPMNT file share hosted in Azure premium files
  • Application files stored on Azure Premium managed disks

During testing, you use the E20ds v4 virtual machine SKU.

You find that the connection bandwidth to the SAPMNT share is too low and that available paging-file disk space is insufficient.

You need to increase the available bandwidth and disk space while minimizing costs. What should you do?

Select
For SAPMNT:
For the paging file:
Explanation

Azure Files performance is constrained by the client VM’s network limits; a larger E-family size provides more network bandwidth. A VM’s paging file can use its temporary/resource disk, whose capacity increases with the VM size. An additional NIC does not increase SMB share throughput for this purpose, increasing managed-disk capacity does not expand that temporary disk, and Write Accelerator applies to eligible managed-disk I/O rather than Azure Files connectivity or paging-file capacity.

QuestionQ3

Design and implement an infrastructure to support SAP workloads on Azure

After the migration is finished, what size should be configured for the ExpressRoute circuit connecting to the New York office in order to satisfy the stated business goals and technical requirements?

Explanation

A 2-Gbps ExpressRoute circuit is the smallest listed size that accommodates a 3-Gbps traffic burst: ExpressRoute can use up to twice the procured circuit bandwidth by distributing traffic across its redundant links. Thus, 2 Gbps provides up to 4 Gbps of burst capacity, whereas 1 Gbps provides only up to 2 Gbps. ExpressRoute FAQ

QuestionQ4

Design and implement high availability and disaster recovery (HADR)

You have a highly available SAP NetWeaver deployment on Azure that uses a third-party solution to cluster the ABAP SAP Central Services (ASCS) components.

You need to recommend a solution that reduces the cost of shared storage for these components.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Explanation

Azure shared disks provide native shared storage for SAP ASCS/SCS clusters. A third-party SIOS DataKeeper configuration simulates shared storage through synchronous replication between two managed disks and requires separately purchased software; Azure shared disks remove that additional replication and software cost.

QuestionQ5

Maintain SAP workloads on Azure

You have an SAP HANA on Azure (Large Instances) deployment.

You need to create health-check log files for the deployment.

What should you do?

Explanation

SAP HANA on Azure (Large Instances) includes diagnostic tooling that generates health-check logs in /var/log/health_check when /opt/sgi/health_check/microsoft_tdi.sh is run from the HANA Large Instances node.
