How do you replicate a virtual machine in Hyper-V?
Enable virtual machine replication. Do the following on each virtual machine you want to replicate: In the Details pane of Hyper-V Manager, select a virtual machine by clicking it. Right-click the selected virtual machine and click Enable Replication to open the Enable Replication wizard.
What are the prerequisites for deploying Hyper-V replica?
Hyper-V Replication Requirements
- Windows Server 2012 or higher running the Hyper-V role.
- Sufficient storage in both your primary, secondary, and extended replication sites (if using) to support the Hyper-V replicas.
- General network connectivity between primary and other replicated sites.
What is enable replication in Hyper-V?
Hyper-V replication enables you to set up a Virtual Machine to replicate from one Hyper-V host to another Hyper-V Host which you can recover easily within minutes in case of a disaster. However, Hyper-V replication is not an alternative to backup.
How do you set up ASR?

- Step 3: Setup the Source Environment.
- Step 4: Install and Configure the ASR Provider on Hyper-V Host.
- Step 5: Create a Replication Policy.
- Step 6: Associate Hyper-V Site(s)
- Step 7: Create a Storage Account + Virtual Network.
What happens in an unplanned failover?
Unplanned Failover is an operation initiated on the replica VM when the primary VM/site is hit by a disaster. During Unplanned Failover, a check is done using Remote WMI to see if the primary VM is running. This is to protect against accidental administrator actions on the replica VM.
What is ASR replication?
Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is a DRaaS offered by Azure for use in cloud and hybrid cloud architectures. A near-constant data replication process makes sure copies are in sync. The application consistent snapshot feature of Azure Site Recovery ensures that the data is in usable state after the failover.
How does VM replication work?
When you configure a virtual machine for replication, the vSphere Replication agent sends changed blocks in the virtual machine disks from the source site to the target site. The changed blocks are applied to the copy of the virtual machine. This process occurs independently of the storage layer.
How do you failover in replication?
In this document
- Step 1: Enable the Hyper-V Role and create a virtual machine.
- Step 2: Configure a Replica server.
- Step 3: Enable virtual machine replication.
- Step 4: Run a test failover.
- Step 6: Run a planned failover.
Which of the following are 3 types of Hyper-V virtual switches?
Hyper-V enables admins to create three different types of virtual switches: external, internal and private.
How do I stop Hyper-V Replication?
The Remove-VMReplication cmdlet removes the replication relationship of a virtual machine. Replication must be removed independently from both the primary and Replica virtual machines. Removing replication on a Replica virtual machine does not delete the Replica virtual machine.
How do I enable virtual machine replication in Hyper V?
Enable virtual machine replication Do the following on each virtual machine you want to replicate: In the Details pane of Hyper-V Manager, select a virtual machine by clicking it. Right-click the selected virtual machine and click Enable Replication to open the Enable Replication wizard.
How does Hyper-V replication work between primary and secondary servers?
To allow replication between the primary and secondary servers, traffic must get through the Windows firewall (or any other third-party firewalls). When you installed the Hyper-V role on the servers by default exceptions for HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) are created.
How do I configure failover replication with PowerShell?
If you have a cluster you select the option for the virtual machine in the Failover Cluster Manager console. In PowerShell you use the same cmdlet you used to configure replication (with a 5 or 15 minutes frequency):
How do I failover to the extended replica server?
You can fail over to the extended Replica server if both the primary and Replica servers go down. You can run a test failover to the extended server just as you would to the secondary, without disrupting workloads. You configure extended replication with Hyper-V Manager, Windows PowerShell (using the –Extended option), or WMI:
