Prerequisites and Resources Prerequisites Before you start, please make sure that the following prerequisites are met: Local Personal Computer The setup of an Azure Virtual Machine for SAP Software deployment comprises of several steps, in one of which a PowerShell script needs to be executed and the Microsoft Azure Portal needs to be accessed. For that, a local Personal Computer running Windows 7 or higher is necessary. Internet connection To download the Azure PowerShell cmdlets as well as a PowerShell script related to SAP deployments an Internet connection is required. In addition, the Internet connection is used by the PowerShell script related to SAP deployments to remotely interact with the Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine Service. Furthermore, the Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine running the SAP Monitoring needs access to the Internet. In case this Azure VM is part of an Azure Virtual Network or on-premises domain, make sure that the relevant proxy settings are set. These settings must also be valid for the LocalSystem account to access the Internet. Microsoft Azure Subscription An Azure account already exists and according Logon credentials are known. Topology consideration and Networking The topology and architecture of the SAP deployment in Azure needs to be defined. Architecture in regards to: Microsoft Azure Storage account to be used Virtual Network to deploy the SAP system into Cloud Service to deploy the SAP system into Azure Region to deploy the SAP system SAP configuration (2-Tier or 3-Tier) VM size(s) and number of additional VHDs to be mounted to the VM(s) SAP Transport and Correction system configuration should be defined. Azure Storage Accounts or Azure Virtual Networks as such should have been created and configured already. How to create and configure them is covered in the NetWeaver on ‘SAP Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine Services Planning and Implementation Guide’. – SAP Sizing The projected SAP workload has been determined, e.g. by the SAP Quicksizer, and the according SAPS number is known The required CPU resource and memory consumption of the SAP system should be known
