PAS-C01 Migration Practice Test 5 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS and wants to use AWS Backup to back up the SAP HANA database. What is a prerequisite for using AWS Backup with SAP HANA?

Accepted Answer

Install the AWS Backup agent for SAP HANA on the database instance. AWS Backup for SAP HANA requires the AWS Backup agent to be installed on the SAP HANA database instance. This agent is a software component that integrates with SAP HANA's native backup capabilities, enabling AWS Backup to orchestrate and manage full, incremental, and differential backups of the HANA database. Without the agent, AWS Backup cannot communicate with the SAP HANA system to initiate or manage backups.

Answer

Configure AWS Storage Gateway to store backups

Answer

Use AWS CloudEndure for backup

Answer

Set up AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for continuous backup

Question 2

An organization is migrating an SAP HANA database to AWS. They plan to use AWS DMS for ongoing replication from an on-premises Oracle database to an Amazon RDS for Oracle instance. Which THREE configurations are necessary for DMS to perform ongoing replication? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

A target endpoint for the Amazon RDS for Oracle instance. AWS DMS requires a source endpoint to connect to the on-premises Oracle database, a target endpoint for the Amazon RDS for Oracle instance, and a replication instance to perform the data migration and ongoing replication. Option A (SNS topic) is for notifications, not a requirement for DMS replication. Option C (CloudWatch dashboard) is for monitoring, not a requirement. Therefore, the three necessary configurations are the source endpoint (E), the target endpoint (B), and the replication instance (D).

Answer

An Amazon SNS topic for replication alerts

Answer

An Amazon CloudWatch dashboard to monitor replication

Accepted Answer

AWS CloudFormation. AWS Launch Wizard and AWS CloudFormation can automate SAP deployments according to best practices. Option A (AWS OpsWorks) is for configuration management, not SAP-specific deployment. Option B (AWS Elastic Beanstalk) is for general web applications, not SAP. Option C (AWS CodeDeploy) is for application deployment, not infrastructure provisioning. Options D and E are correct.

Answer

AWS OpsWorks

Answer

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Answer

AWS CodeDeploy

Question 4

A company is migrating an on-premises Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. The database is 2 TB in size and has a high transaction rate. The migration must have minimal downtime. Which AWS service should be used for the migration?

Accepted Answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is the correct choice because it supports ongoing replication from the source Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle, enabling minimal downtime during migration. Option A (AWS Snowball Edge) is incorrect because it is designed for large-scale offline data transfer, not for online replication with minimal downtime. Option B (AWS Server Migration Service) is for migrating on-premises servers to AWS, not databases. Option C (AWS DataSync) is used for file-based data transfers, not database migrations.

Answer

AWS Snowball Edge

Answer

AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)

Answer

AWS DataSync

Question 5

An organization is migrating a legacy application to AWS. The application requires a static IP address for client whitelisting. After migrating the application to an Application Load Balancer (ALB) with an Auto Scaling group, clients report connection failures. What should be done to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

Replace the ALB with a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and assign an Elastic IP.. The correct solution is to replace the ALB with a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and assign an Elastic IP. ALBs do not have static IP addresses; they use dynamic IPs that can change. NLBs support Elastic IPs, providing a fixed IP for client whitelisting. Option A is incorrect because adding an Nginx reverse proxy introduces unnecessary complexity and still requires a static IP. Option B is wrong because you cannot assign an Elastic IP to an ALB. Option C is incorrect because the routing algorithm does not affect the IP address; the ALB's IPs remain dynamic.

Answer

Place an Nginx reverse proxy in front of the ALB with an Elastic IP.

Answer

Assign an Elastic IP to the ALB.

Answer

Configure the ALB to use a round-robin routing algorithm.

Question 6

A company is migrating a SAP HANA database to AWS. Which storage configuration is recommended for SAP HANA to meet performance requirements?

Accepted Answer

Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes. Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes are the recommended storage configuration for SAP HANA on AWS because they provide up to 4,000 MB/s throughput per volume and 256,000 IOPS, with 99.999% durability. This meets the high-performance, low-latency requirements of SAP HANA, which demands consistent sub-millisecond latency for its columnar in-memory database operations. io2 Block Express volumes also support multi-attach for SAP HANA scale-out configurations and are the only EBS volume type validated by SAP for production HANA workloads.

Answer

Amazon EC2 instance store volumes

Answer

Amazon S3 as a block device

Answer

Amazon EBS gp2 volumes

Question 7

A company is migrating a SAP system to AWS and needs to ensure that the SAP license is compliant. The current license is based on the number of users. What is the correct approach for SAP licensing on AWS?

Accepted Answer

Bring your own SAP license to AWS and ensure compliance with the user-based metric.. SAP licensing on AWS follows the same model as on-premises; the customer must license the SAP software based on users or engine size. Option A is wrong because AWS does not offer bring-your-own-license for all SAP products, but it is allowed. Option B is wrong because AWS does not include SAP licenses. Option D is wrong because AWS does not provide SAP licenses.

Answer

Purchase a SAP license through AWS Marketplace that is included in the EC2 instance cost.

Answer

Use AWS License Manager to track the number of vCPUs and report to SAP.

Answer

Use AWS License Manager to convert the user-based license to a processor-based license.

Question 8

An organization is migrating a SAP ERP system to AWS. The system has a requirement for high availability for the SAP Central Services (ASCS) instance. Which architecture should be used to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Deploy two ASCS instances in different Availability Zones with a shared Amazon EFS or FSx for Windows File Server and a floating IP using Route 53.. For high availability of SAP Central Services (ASCS), you need to deploy two ASCS instances in different Availability Zones with a shared filesystem (Amazon EFS or FSx for Windows File Server) and a floating IP mechanism. Option B correctly describes this architecture using Route 53 for the floating IP. Option A is incorrect because Multi-AZ RDS is for databases, not ASCS. Option C is incorrect because an EBS volume cannot be attached to multiple EC2 instances simultaneously. Option D is incorrect because an Application Load Balancer does not support floating IPs and is not appropriate for ASCS.

Answer

Deploy the ASCS on a single EC2 instance with a Multi-AZ RDS database.

Answer

Deploy two ASCS instances in different Availability Zones with an EBS volume attached to both.

Answer

Use an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic between two ASCS instances.

Question 9

A company is migrating a SAP BusinessObjects environment to AWS. Which AWS service can be used to automate the deployment of the SAP BusinessObjects components?

Accepted Answer

AWS CloudFormation. AWS CloudFormation allows infrastructure as code to automate the deployment of SAP BusinessObjects. Option A is wrong because AWS OpsWorks is for Chef/Puppet, not directly for SAP. Option B is wrong because AWS Elastic Beanstalk is for web applications, not SAP. Option C is wrong because AWS CodePipeline is for CI/CD, not infrastructure deployment.

Answer

AWS OpsWorks

Answer

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Answer

AWS CodePipeline

Question 10

A company is migrating a SAP system to AWS and needs to ensure that the database migration from SAP ASE to Amazon Aurora is successful with minimal downtime. Which AWS service should be used?

Accepted Answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is the correct choice because it supports heterogeneous migrations from SAP ASE (Sybase) to Amazon Aurora with minimal downtime. DMS can continuously replicate ongoing changes from the source database to the target using change data capture (CDC), allowing the source system to remain operational during the migration and enabling a cutover with only a brief outage.

Answer

AWS Snowball Edge

Answer

AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)

Answer

AWS DataSync

Question 11

A company is migrating a SAP HANA database to AWS. The database is 10 TB and requires a recovery point objective (RPO) of 15 minutes and a recovery time objective (RTO) of 2 hours. Which backup strategy should be used?

Accepted Answer

Configure SAP HANA Backint agent to back up directly to Amazon S3 every 15 minutes.. The SAP HANA Backint agent can back up directly to Amazon S3, allowing frequent backups (every 15 minutes) to achieve an RPO of 15 minutes. HANA Backint backups are fast and reliable, and restoring from S3 can meet the 2-hour RTO. Option A (AWS DMS replication) is for ongoing data replication, not backup; it may not support HANA backup requirements and could exceed RTO. Option C (backups to EBS volume then copy to S3) introduces delays and manual processes, making it difficult to achieve a 15-minute RPO. Option D (AWS Backup with EBS snapshots) typically has a minimum interval of 1 hour, insufficient for a 15-minute RPO, and restoring a 10 TB database from snapshots may exceed the 2-hour RTO.

Answer

Use AWS DMS to replicate the HANA database to a standby instance.

Answer

Schedule SAP HANA backups to an EBS volume and copy to S3.

Answer

Use AWS Backup with EBS snapshots every hour.

Question 12

A company is migrating a SAP system to AWS and wants to use the same SAP system ID (SID) as on-premises. What is a prerequisite for this migration?

Accepted Answer

The SID must be unique within the AWS account and region.. SAP requires that the System ID (SID) be unique within an AWS account and region to avoid conflicts with existing SAP systems. During migration, the same SID can be reused as long as no other SAP system with that SID exists in the same account and region, ensuring proper system identification and integration with AWS services like Amazon EFS or Amazon FSx for SAP.

Answer

The SID must be changed to a new value for the migration.

Answer

The SID must be at least 5 characters long.

Answer

The SID must be registered with AWS.

Question 13

A company is migrating a SAP HANA database to AWS. Which THREE factors should be considered when choosing the EC2 instance type for SAP HANA?

Accepted Answer

The instance must be listed in the SAP HANA certified instance list.. Correct options: A, B, E. SAP HANA requires AWS certified instance types (A), enough memory to hold the database in RAM (B), and high network bandwidth for system replication (E). GPU is not required (C). EBS-optimized is not a selection factor; it is a feature that may be enabled on certain instance types but not a primary consideration for choosing the instance type (D).

Answer

The instance must have a GPU for accelerated processing.

Answer

The instance must be EBS-optimized by default.

Question 14

A company is migrating a SAP system to AWS and wants to use AWS Systems Manager for patching. Which TWO prerequisites are required to use AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager?

Accepted Answer

The AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) must be installed on the EC2 instance.. Correct options are C and D. The SSM Agent must be installed and running on the EC2 instances (C), and the instances must have an IAM role that grants Systems Manager permissions (D). Option A is incorrect because Patch Manager works with instances in private subnets as long as they have outbound internet access or a VPC endpoint. Option B is incorrect because Patch Manager supports multiple operating systems, not just Amazon Linux 2. Option E is incorrect because a maintenance window is not strictly required for Patch Manager; patching can be done on demand.

Answer

The EC2 instance must be in a public subnet.

Answer

The EC2 instance must be running Amazon Linux 2.

Answer

A maintenance window must be configured with a reboot option.

Question 15

An SAP administrator is migrating an SAP system to AWS and has launched an EC2 instance from an AMI. The administrator runs the command shown in the exhibit. Which statement is true about the root volume?

Accepted Answer

The root volume will be deleted when the instance is terminated.. The output of the command shows that the 'DeleteOnTermination' attribute is set to 'true' for the root volume, meaning the volume will be deleted when the EC2 instance is terminated. Option B is incorrect because the root volume is attached to the instance, not detached. Option C is incorrect because the output does not indicate that the root volume is encrypted; encryption is a separate attribute. Option D is incorrect because the root volume is an EBS volume, not an instance store volume.

Answer

The root volume is detached from the instance.

Answer

The root volume is encrypted.

Answer

The root volume is an instance store volume.
