A company is deploying a two-node SAP HANA scale-up cluster on Azure using Pacemaker. They need to ensure that a failed node is fenced before the surviving node takes over the HANA resources. They have no access to an iSCSI target for SBD. What should they configure?

Use the Azure shared disk as the SBD device.

Configure SBD with a disk on the shared storage account.

Configure the Azure fence agent (fence_azure_arm) with a service principal that has permission to power off the failed node.

Set the cluster property stonith-enabled=false to allow automatic failover.

You are deploying a two-node SAP HANA cluster on Azure using Pacemaker. The cluster must be able to fence a node that becomes unresponsive. You have decided to use the Azure fence agent. What must you provide to the fence agent configuration?

A shared storage account with an SBD device

A network security group rule that allows the fence agent to access the VMs

A service principal with permissions to manage VMs in the subscription

A public IP address on each VM for the fence agent to communicate

Which clustering solution is commonly used to provide high availability for SAP Central Services (SCS) on Azure Linux VMs?

SQL Server Always On Availability Groups

Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC)

A company runs SAP HANA on a single Azure VM in one availability zone. They want to protect against zone failure and also ensure that the HANA database can be restarted automatically if the VM reboots. They plan to use Azure Site Recovery (ASR) for zone-level protection. What additional configuration should they implement?

Deploy a second HANA VM in another zone and configure HANA system replication.

Create an Azure Automation runbook to start the VM after failover.

Configure the HANA database to start automatically on VM boot using the sapinit service or a custom systemd unit.

Configure the Azure fence agent for the HANA VM.
