PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
Network Topology
An SAP HANA database is running on a Dedicated Host in us-east-1a. The system requires a disaster recovery site in us-west-2. What limitation does the use of a Dedicated Host impose on the DR setup?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates assume Dedicated Hosts are regionally bound or that DR can reuse the same host, but AWS requires a separate Dedicated Host per region, which directly impacts cost and provisioning planning.
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 DR site requires a separate Dedicated Host in us-west-2, increasing cost.
A Dedicated Host in us-east-1a is a physical server dedicated to your use, and to set up disaster recovery in us-west-2, you must provision a separate Dedicated Host in that region. This increases costs as you are paying for two Dedicated Hosts instead of one, and the DR host cannot be shared or reserved in advance for a specific instance type without an active allocation.
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 DR site must also use a Dedicated Host, which cannot be reserved in advance.
Why it's wrong here
Dedicated Hosts can be reserved.
- ✓
The DR site requires a separate Dedicated Host in us-west-2, increasing cost.
Why this is correct
Dedicated Hosts are per-AZ, so a new host is needed in the DR region.
- ✗
The Dedicated Host cannot be used with SAP HANA System Replication.
Why it's wrong here
HSR works on Dedicated Hosts.
- ✗
The HANA instance cannot be migrated to a different host, so DR is not possible.
Why it's wrong here
Instances can be migrated to other hosts.
