Maintain SAP workloads on Azure

Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains a Recovery Services vault named RSV1 and a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 runs SUSE Enterprise Linux (SLES) and hosts an SAP HANA instance. You need to configure a HANA Backint-based backup of the HANA databases. You register VM1 with RSV1. What should you do next?

Options

  • AOn VM1, stop the HANA instance.
  • BFrom RSV1, select the items to back up.
  • COn VM1, run the preregistration script.
  • DOn VM1, install the Azure Backup Plugin for HANA.

Explanation

Running the preregistration script (C) is the mandatory next step because, after registering a VM with a Recovery Services vault, the HANA environment must be prepared before Azure Backup can interact with it - the script creates the required HANA backup user, grants necessary privileges, installs Python dependencies, and configures the Backint parameters that allow Azure Backup to communicate with HANA.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Stop HANA): Azure Backup for SAP HANA supports online backups; stopping the instance is neither required nor desirable.
  • B (Select items to back up): This step happens after the preregistration script runs - without it, RSV1 cannot discover HANA databases on the VM.
  • D (Install the Azure Backup Plugin manually): The plugin/extension is deployed automatically by the Azure Backup service when you configure the backup from the vault; you do not install it manually.

Memory tip: Think "Prep before Portal" - you always run the pre-registration script on the VM before returning to the Recovery Services vault to configure what to back up.
