PAS-C01 Migration Practice Test 6 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A company is migrating an SAP S/4HANA system to AWS. The system uses SAP HANA as its database. The company has a complex networking setup with multiple VPCs and on-premises connectivity via AWS Direct Connect. The SAP HANA system replication will be used for high availability across two Availability Zones. What is the minimum number of Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) required per HANA instance to support the recommended network architecture?

Accepted Answer

2. Option B is correct because the recommended architecture for SAP HANA on AWS with system replication uses three ENIs per HANA instance: one for management/backup, one for client-facing traffic, and one for replication. Option A is too few, Options C and D are not standard.

Answer

1

Question 2

A company is migrating its SAP ERP system to AWS. The system has a custom ABAP code that uses RFC calls to an external system. The company wants to test the migrated system in a sandbox environment before the final cutover. What is the best practice for handling the RFC connections during testing?

Accepted Answer

Create a separate sandbox environment that is isolated from production and uses mock endpoints for RFC calls.. Option A is correct because using a sandbox environment disconnected from the production system prevents accidental data changes or impacts. Options B, C, D are incorrect because they either involve production connections or are not best practices.

Answer

Use the same RFC destinations as production but disable the external system.

Answer

Set up a VPN between the sandbox and the external system to test real connectivity.

Answer

Configure the sandbox to use the production RFC endpoints but with read-only access.

Question 3

A company is migrating an SAP HANA database from on-premises to AWS. The database is 5 TB and the network link is 500 Mbps. The company has a tight window of 24 hours for the migration. Which TWO methods can be used to transfer the initial data load within the time constraint?

Accepted Answer

Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer the database backup files to AWS.. Option A (AWS Snowball Edge) and Option D (AWS DataSync over Direct Connect with compression) are correct. Snowball Edge can physically ship data, bypassing network. DataSync with compression can accelerate transfer over Direct Connect. Option B (DMS) over 500 Mbps for 5 TB would take ~23 hours (theoretical) plus overhead, may exceed 24 hours. Option C (S3 multipart upload) same as DMS. Option E (AWS Site-to-Site VPN) is slower than Direct Connect.

Answer

Use AWS DMS to perform a full load directly over the network.

Answer

Use AWS Site-to-Site VPN with jumbo frames enabled.

Answer

Use Amazon S3 multipart upload to upload backup files directly from on-premises.

Question 4

A company is migrating its SAP NetWeaver system to AWS. The system uses an Oracle database. The company wants to use the SAP Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) to perform a system copy. The target database will be Amazon RDS for Oracle. Which of the following backup types can be used as the source for the SWPM system copy?

Accepted Answer

An Oracle RMAN backup. Option A is correct because SWPM supports using Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) backups for system copies. Options B, C, D are incorrect because SWPM does not support Oracle Data Pump, Oracle Export, or AWS DMS snapshots as direct input for system copy.

Answer

An Oracle Data Pump export

Answer

An AWS DMS snapshot of the Oracle database

Answer

An Oracle Export utility (exp) dump

Question 5

A company is migrating a critical Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. They need to minimize downtime and ensure data consistency. Which AWS service should they use to perform an online migration with minimal impact?

Accepted Answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) supports ongoing replication and can perform live migrations with minimal downtime. AWS Snowball is for offline data transfer. S3 Transfer Acceleration speeds up uploads to S3. Direct Connect establishes dedicated network connections but is not a migration service.

Answer

AWS Direct Connect

Answer

AWS Snowball

Answer

Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration

Question 6

An organization is migrating a large SAP HANA workload to AWS. The current on-premises environment uses IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) for shared storage. Which AWS storage solution should they use to provide a similar shared file system for SAP HANA?

Accepted Answer

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP provides a fully managed shared file system that supports NFS, SMB, and iSCSI protocols, and can replace GPFS for SAP HANA. EBS is block storage not shared. S3 is object storage. EFS is NFS but lacks some enterprise features needed for HANA.

Answer

Amazon S3

Answer

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)

Answer

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)

Question 7

A company is migrating a legacy SAP ERP system with a large ABAP codebase to AWS. They want to use the same SAP version without re-implementation. Which migration strategy should they adopt?

Accepted Answer

Rehost (Lift-and-shift). Lift-and-shift (rehost) moves the existing system as-is to AWS, preserving the ABAP codebase and SAP version. Replatform may involve minor changes. Refactor/Re-architect would require re-implementation. Retire is not applicable.

Answer

Refactor / Re-architect

Answer

Retire

Answer

Replatform (Lift, tinker, and shift)

Question 8

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS and needs to ensure that the SAP application can communicate with the database over a low-latency, high-bandwidth connection. What is the best practice for network architecture?

Accepted Answer

Place the SAP application and database in the same VPC and same Availability Zone.. Placing the SAP application and database in the same VPC and Availability Zone minimizes latency. Separate AZs increase latency. Different regions introduce significant latency. On-premises connection defeats purpose of migration.

Answer

Place the SAP application on-premises and the database on AWS.

Answer

Place the SAP application and database in separate Availability Zones within the same region.

Answer

Place the SAP application in a different AWS Region than the database.

Question 9

A company is planning to migrate an SAP BusinessObjects environment to AWS. They need to ensure high availability for the Web Application Server tier. Which AWS service should they use to distribute traffic across multiple instances?

Accepted Answer

Application Load Balancer (ALB). An Application Load Balancer (ALB) distributes HTTP/HTTPS traffic across targets. NLB is for TCP/UDP. Global Accelerator improves performance but not primarily for load balancing. Route 53 is DNS.

Answer

AWS Global Accelerator

Answer

Network Load Balancer (NLB)

Answer

Amazon Route 53

Question 10

An organization is migrating a large SAP ERP system using SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM) for system copy and refresh. During the migration, they encounter an error in LVM indicating that the target host is not reachable. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The security groups do not allow inbound traffic from the LVM instance to the target host.. Security groups controlling traffic between source and target are a common cause. IAM roles affect AWS API calls, not network connectivity. S3 permissions are irrelevant. AWS DMS is not used.

Answer

The S3 bucket used for backup is not accessible.

Answer

The IAM role assigned to the LVM instance does not have sufficient permissions.

Answer

The AWS Database Migration Service is not configured correctly.

Question 11

A company is migrating an SAP system and wants to use a storage solution that provides persistent, high-performance block storage for the SAP HANA database. Which AWS storage option should they choose?

Accepted Answer

Amazon EBS io2 Block Express. Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes provide high performance and durability for HANA. EFS is file storage. S3 is object storage. Instance store is ephemeral.

Answer

Amazon EC2 Instance Store

Answer

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)

Answer

Amazon S3

Question 12

A company is migrating an SAP environment and wants to automate the provisioning of infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Which AWS service should they use to define and deploy AWS resources?

Accepted Answer

AWS CloudFormation. AWS CloudFormation allows you to define infrastructure as code. OpsWorks is for configuration management. Elastic Beanstalk is for application deployment. CodeDeploy is for code deployment.

Answer

AWS OpsWorks

Answer

AWS CodeDeploy

Answer

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Question 13

A company is migrating an SAP system that uses a custom ABAP application with a large number of background jobs. They want to ensure that job scheduling is not disrupted during migration. Which AWS service can help manage job scheduling in the cloud?

Accepted Answer

Re-establish job scheduling within the SAP system after migration. AWS managed services do not directly replace SAP's job scheduling. The best practice is to re-establish job scheduling within the SAP system itself. AWS Batch is for batch computing, not SAP jobs. Lambda is for serverless functions. CloudWatch Events can trigger but not manage complex job chains.

Answer

Amazon CloudWatch Events

Answer

AWS Lambda

Answer

AWS Batch

Question 14

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS and wants to ensure that the migration process is compliant with SAP's requirements. Which TWO of the following are recommended practices? (Choose 2)

Accepted Answer

Follow SAP migration notes and best practices.. Using certified EC2 instance types and following SAP notes are mandatory. Reducing memory is not recommended. Using unsupported DB engines violates compliance. Skipping testing is risky.

Answer

Use a database engine that is not supported by SAP to reduce licensing costs.

Answer

Skip the testing phase to accelerate the migration timeline.

Answer

Reduce the memory allocation of the SAP application to save costs.

Question 15

A company is migrating their SAP environment using AWS Launch Wizard. Which THREE prerequisites must be met before using Launch Wizard for SAP deployment? (Choose 3)

Accepted Answer
