You plan to migrate an SAP HANA instance to Azure. You need to gather CPU metrics from the last 24 hours from the instance. Solution: You run SAP…

The SAP HANA Quick Sizer is a tool designed for estimating the hardware requirements for new SAP HANA implementations. It calculates CPU, memory, and disk needs based on business-oriented inputs, such as anticipated transaction volumes and user counts. It does not connect to an existing system to collect or analyze historical performance data. To gather actual CPU metrics from a running SAP HANA instance, you would use monitoring tools like SAP HANA Cockpit, SAP Solution Manager, or by querying the system's internal monitoring views (e.g., in the SYSSTATISTICS schema).

A. Yes: This is incorrect because the Quick Sizer's function is for forward-looking estimation and planning, not for collecting historical performance data from an active system.

Sizing section: "For new SAP implementations in Azure (greenfield implementation)

use the SAP Quick Sizer to calculate the hardware requirements of your SAP production systems." This source explicitly states the Quick Sizer is for new implementations.

Quick Sizer for SAP HANA: "The Quick Sizer is a Web-based tool designed to make the sizing of SAP Applications easier and faster. It helps you to translate business requirements into hardware requirements." This official SAP documentation confirms the tool's purpose is to translate business requirements

Current source system analysis section: "If you're migrating an existing application to Azure (brownfield implementation)

analyze the resource consumption of the existing infrastructure to help determine the resource requirements in Azure." This highlights that for migrations

analysis of the current system is required

a task for which Quick Sizer is not designed.
