QuestionQ376

Design and implement high availability and disaster recovery (HADR)

An SAP production environment in Azure includes an SAP HANA database.

You need to configure a Recovery Services vault to back up the HANA database server. The solution must allow the virtual machine and the HANA database to be manually restored to a paired region.

What should you do first?

  • A Create a Recovery Services vault in the paired region.
  • B Enable Cross Region Restore.
  • C Configure zone-redundant storage (ZRS) replication for the storage.
  • D Create a recovery plan.
Explanation

Cross Region Restore enables recovery from replicated recovery points in an Azure paired secondary region and supports both Azure VMs and SAP HANA databases hosted on Azure VMs. It requires a Recovery Services vault configured with geo-redundant storage (GRS); ZRS provides availability-zone redundancy rather than paired-region recovery. A target vault in the secondary region is required when restoring SAP HANA, but enabling CRR is the feature that makes cross-region restore possible.
