Drag and Drop Question You are validating an SAP HANA on Azure (Large Instances) deployment. You need to ensure that sapconf is installed and the kernel parameters are set appropriately for the active profile. How should you complete the commands? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Explanation

SAP HANA on Azure Large Instances: sapconf & Kernel Parameter Validation

Context

On SAP HANA deployments (especially Azure Large Instances running SLES), the OS must be tuned to meet SAP's strict kernel parameter requirements. Two tools are involved: sapconf (the SAP-specific configurator) and tuned (the Linux tuning daemon that sapconf uses as its backend).

The commands being completed are almost certainly:

systemctl status [1. sapconf]
[2. tuned]-adm active

Why Each Item Goes Where It Does

Position 1 → sapconf

sapconf is the SUSE Linux tool that configures the OS for SAP workloads. It sets kernel parameters, /etc/sysctl.conf values, PAM limits, and other settings SAP requires. To verify it is installed and running, you check its systemd service:

systemctl status sapconf

This directly answers the first part of the question: "ensure that sapconf is installed."

Position 2 → tuned

sapconf does not apply profiles directly - it delegates to the tuned daemon. When sapconf runs, it activates a tuned profile (e.g., sap-hana). To verify the active profile and that kernel parameters are set correctly, you use:

tuned-adm active

This answers the second part: "kernel parameters are set appropriately for the active profile."

Why the Other Items Are Wrong

Item	Reason Excluded
`saptune`	Newer SLES 15 replacement for sapconf, but the question explicitly targets sapconf
`sap-hana`	A tuned profile name, not a command/tool - you check the profile via `tuned`, not by calling `sap-hana`
`sap-netweaver`	A different SAP product stack, irrelevant here
`sap-ase`	SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (Sybase) - unrelated to HANA
`sap-bobj`	SAP BusinessObjects - unrelated

Common Mistakes

Choosing saptune instead of sapconf: saptune is the modern successor on SLES 15+, but if the question says sapconf, use sapconf.
Choosing sap-hana for position 2: sap-hana is the name of a tuned profile, not the tool. You still need tuned-adm to inspect it.
Overlooking the tuned dependency: Many candidates don't realize sapconf is just a wrapper that configures and activates tuned profiles - you must check tuned to validate the active kernel parameter state.
