Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads — Question 59

You have a highly available deployment of SAP NetWeaver on Azure virtual machines. The database tier is hosted on two virtual machines that run Windows Server 2019 and have Microsoft SQL Server 2022 installed. The NetWeaver, application, and database tiers each reside on a separate subnet within the same virtual network.

You run ABAPMeter against the deployment and discover that the average value of Acc DB is 2 ms.

You need to lower the Acc DB value.

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Redeploy the NetWeaver, application, and SQL Server virtual machines to the same proximity placement group.
• B. Increase the tempdb size on the SQL Server virtual machines.
• C. Configure the SQL Server database to use asynchronous replication.
• D. Move the application virtual machines to the same subnet as the SQL Server virtual machines.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because placing the virtual machines in the same proximity placement group reduces latency by ensuring they are physically closer together in the Azure data center. Options B, C, and D do not address the physical proximity of the VMs, which is crucial for minimizing the Acc DB value.
