QuestionQ317

Maintain SAP workloads on Azure

You have a highly available SAP NetWeaver deployment on Azure virtual machines. The database tier runs on two virtual machines using Windows Server 2019 with Microsoft SQL Server 2017 installed. The NetWeaver, application, and database tiers are each located on separate subnets in the same virtual network.

You run ABAPMeter against the deployment and find that the average Acc DB value is 2 ms.

You need to reduce the Acc DB value.

What should you do?

  • A Redeploy the NetWeaver, application, and SQL Server virtual machines to the same proximity placement group.
  • B Increase the tempdb size on the SQL Server virtual machines.
  • C Configure the SQL Server database to use asynchronous replication.
  • D Move the application virtual machines to the same subnet as the SQL Server virtual machines.
Explanation

SAP NetWeaver is sensitive to network latency between the application and database tiers because application servers issue database queries at high frequency. An Azure proximity placement group places the related virtual machines close together under the same network spine, reducing network round-trip latency and therefore database-access time.
