For disaster recovery (DR), you must be able to fail over to a secondary region. Each tier uses a different strategy to provide disaster recovery (DR) protection.

#### VMs running SAP Web Dispatcher pool

The Web Dispatcher component is used as a load balancer for SAP traffic among the SAP application servers. To achieve high availability for the Web Dispatcher component, Azure Load Balancer is used to implement the parallel Web Dispatcher setup in a round-robin configuration for HTTP(S) traffic distribution among the available Web Dispatchers in the balancer pool. This will be replicated using Azure Site Recovery(ASR) and automation scripts will be used to configure load balancer on the disaster recovery region.

#### VMs running SAP Central Services cluster

This reference architecture runs Central Services on VMs in the application tier. The Central Services is a potential single point of failure (SPOF) when deployed to a single VM—typical deployment when high availability is not a requirement.<br>

To implement a high availability solution, either a shared disk cluster or a file share cluster can be used.To configure VMs for a shared disk cluster, use Windows Server Failover Cluster. Cloud Witness is recommended as a quorum witness.

To support the failover cluster environment, [SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/marketplace/apps/sios_datakeeper.sios-datakeeper-8) performs the cluster shared volume function by replicating independent disks owned by the cluster nodes. Azure does not natively support shared disks and therefore requires solutions provided by SIOS.
72
72
73
73
Another way to handle clustering is to implement a file share cluster. [SAP](https://blogs.sap.com/2018/03/19/migration-from-a-shared-disk-cluster-to-a-file-share-cluster) recently modified the Central Services deployment pattern to access the /sapmnt global directories via a UNC path. However, it is still recommended to ensure that the /sapmnt UNC share is highly available. This can be done on the Central Services instance by using Windows Server Failover Cluster with Scale Out File Server (SOFS) and the Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) feature in Windows Server 2016.

For your applications to function correctly, you might need to do some operations on the Azure virtual machines after the failover or during a test failover. You can automate some post-failover operations. For example, you can update the DNS entry and change bindings and connections by adding corresponding scripts to the recovery plan.
