Protecting Virtual Machines by Using Hyper-V Replicas
In this chapter, we will learn how to configure Hyper-V hosts for replication, including the management of the replica servers. We will then discuss how to configure VM replication between replica hosts, and finally, perform a failover to learn about the failover orchestration process.
This chapter will include walk-throughs on how to implement and manage Hyper-V replica components and workloads on-premises, with hybrid components and services, and in the cloud, consistent with the AZ-801 exam objectives.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Technical requirements and lab setup
- Introduction to Hyper-V Replica
- Configuring Hyper-V hosts for replication
- Configuring VM replication
- Managing Hyper-V replica servers
- Performing a VM failover
