HOTSPOT -
A company named Contoso, Ltd. has users across the globe. Contoso is evaluating whether to migrate SAP to Azure.
The SAP environment runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) servers and SAP HANA databases. The Suite on HANA database is 4 TB.
You need to recommend a migration solution to migrate SAP application servers and the SAP HANA databases. The solution must minimize downtime.
Which migration solutions should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Azure Site Recovery -
Microsoft Azure Site Recovery (ASR) now supports SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3/SP4 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1/SP2/SP3. This is great for customers that are planning to migrate systems to Microsoft Azure or customers who need to have a business continuity strategy for their Azure deployments.
Azure Site Recovery enables SUSE customers to migrate their non-Azure virtual machines or physical servers to Microsoft Azure virtual machines.
Box 2: System Copy for SAP Systems
In order to migrate an existing SAP HANA system into Azure, a SAP homogeneous system copy can be performed.

for HANA DB, HSR ( system replication ) is quicker than system copy, hence that should be the answer for second question

This is not true. HSR is a replication tool that has multiple uses including HA. I've been migrating people to the cloud for years using HSR.

The answers appears correct. The ask is migration and not Replication. HSR is best suited for replication. However System Copy during migration. Please refer: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SL/System+Copy+Guides

Also we need to consider the cost of HSR between onpremise to Azure which is expensive.

correction: you have to HSR to minimize the downtime.

it might theoretically be true, but in practice performing migration with hana replication is just better. set it to async, so it wont harm the performance of the source, and you have a live copy, so you can minimize downtime... I dont see any reason to use backup/restore (which is practically homogenous system copy) instead of replication

I think HSR should be better. We are talking about 4 TB so if we use system copy is going to take big downtime. Replication can work while the system is online.

the question concern is "minimize downtime" but not "fast" And "fast" do not mean short downtime. with HSR, the downtime during migration is less than system copy. Just a simple take over action during migration cutover. with System Copy, you need to you need to down system throughout the whole DB export/import or backup/restore operation. => HSR over System Copy

ASR and HSR for minimum downtime ( Asynchronous replication to the standby (target) HANA, followed by failover to target HANA).

Answer is correct. HSR is for creating a DR and this is not about which is faster. This is about migration. SS

The cloned system can be built with a homogeneous system copy (backup/restore) or via DBMS replication tools (e.g. Oracle Data Guard or SQL Always-On).

HANA HSR ( system replication ) is part of exiting Suse cluster i.e. OnPremise. TO move HA/DR HANA nodes to Azure also we will need system copy. System Replication cannot be correct.
