Answer 1:
The performance problem is a specific problem only influencing certain transactions and
originating from one specific transaction.

high wait times are due to either exceeding the system's physical limits, or because an external
program has claimed resources needed by the R/3 System.

The performance problem is a generic performance problem affecting the performance of all
running transactions. The bad response times are due to a poorly configured R/3 System.
Answer 4:

If the R/3 Installation Checklist recommends that 5 or more physical disks be used for an
installation, but that a minimum of 3 disks is OK as long as the total disk space is at least 12 GB,
which of the following is true?
Answer 1:
The use of 3 physical disks is suitable for a demo installation but performance may suffer, and
recoverability in case of hardware failure may not be as easy as with more disks.
Answer 2:
A database recovery is faster and easier when fewer physical disk devices are used.
Answer 3:
There is no advantage in initially having more than the minimum number of physical disks for a
production system because the R/3 database can be extended later.
Answer 4:
The recommendation to use 5 or more disks is based on good marketing practices and has
nothing to do with data security or performance.
