PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
A company is migrating an SAP ERP system to AWS using the SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM) tool. During the migration, the team encounters a timeout error when replicating the database. The source database is an SAP HANA multi-tenant database container (MDC) system. What is the most likely cause of the timeout?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The SSH session between LVM and the target server timed out due to a missing ServerAliveInterval setting
LVM uses SSH to communicate between the source and target servers. If the SSH session times out due to inactivity (e.g., a missing ServerAliveInterval setting in the SSH client configuration), the database replication process can fail with a timeout error. Option A is incorrect because the LVM agent's compatibility with the SAP HANA version is not the typical cause of a replication timeout; such version compatibility issues would likely surface earlier during configuration. Option B is incorrect because SAP HANA MDC (multi-tenant database container) is supported by LVM for migration; LVM can handle MDC systems properly. Option D is incorrect because the SAP Router is used for routing between SAP systems over a network, not for the direct SSH-based replication between source and target in an LVM migration; the timeout is due to SSH, not router misconfiguration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM) agent is incompatible with the SAP HANA version
Why it's wrong here
LVM supports multiple HANA versions; incompatibility is less likely than network issues.
- ✗
The SAP HANA multi-tenant database container (MDC) configuration is not supported by LVM
Why it's wrong here
LVM supports MDC environments.
- ✓
The SSH session between LVM and the target server timed out due to a missing ServerAliveInterval setting
Why this is correct
LVM uses SSH; without keep-alive settings, idle SSH sessions can timeout during long-running operations.
- ✗
The SAP Router is not configured to forward traffic between the source and target
Why it's wrong here
SAP Router is not required for LVM-based migrations.
