Question
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
You have a complex SAP environment that has both ABAP- and Java-based systems. The current on-premises landscapes are based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (Unicode and Non-Unicode) running on Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server.
You need to migrate the SAP environment to a HANA-certified Azure environment.
Solution: You upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.4, and then you migrate SAP to Azure by using Azure Site Recovery.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. Yes Correct
- B. No
Explanation
Yes. Upgrading on-premises first brings the systems to SAP NetWeaver 7.4, a release that SAP supports on Azure and that can run on SAP HANA, so the landscape is ready for a HANA-certified environment. Azure Site Recovery can then replicate the upgraded Windows Server virtual machines to Azure, which Microsoft documents as a way to migrate an SAP deployment. Doing the upgrade before the move avoids running an unsupported old release on Azure.
