- A
Ensure the same private IP address is assigned to the Amazon EC2 instance
Matching IP avoids reconfiguration of application and database connections.
- B
Update the DNS records to point to the new public IP
Why wrong: The system uses hostname resolution internally; public IP not relevant.
- C
Change the SAP SID to a new value
Why wrong: SID remains the same; no need to change.
- D
Assign a different private IP address to avoid conflicts
Why wrong: No conflict with on-premises after migration; same IP simplifies configuration.

PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of migration. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company is migrating an SAP NetWeaver system from on-premises to AWS. They plan to use the same SAP SID and keep the same hostname. The migration will be performed using SAP Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) with the option 'System Rename' set to 'No'. What must be configured in the AWS environment to ensure the system functions correctly?
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
✓
Ensure the same private IP address is assigned to the Amazon EC2 instance
Option A is correct because the system uses the same hostname and SAP SID. To avoid reconfiguration, the Amazon EC2 instance must have the same private IP address as the on-premises hostname resolves to, or the hostname must be resolvable via DNS or /etc/hosts. Option B is incorrect because updating DNS records to point to a new public IP is unnecessary when the same private IP is used. Option C is incorrect because the same SAP SID is allowed and does not need to be changed. Option D is incorrect because assigning a different private IP would require updating hostname resolution, which defeats the purpose of keeping the same hostname.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
