Which three actions should you perform?

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains four servers named Server1, Server2, Server3, and Server4 that run Windows
Server 2012 R2. All servers have the Hyper-V server role and the Failover Clustering feature installed.

You need to replicate virtual machines from Cluster1 to Cluster2.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose three.)

Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose three.)

A.
From Hyper-V Manager on a node in Cluster2, create three virtual machines.

B.
From Cluster2, add and configure the Hyper-V Replica Broker role.

C.
From Failover Cluster Manager on Cluster1, configure each virtual machine for
replication.

D.
From Cluster1, add and configure the Hyper-V Replica Broker role.

E.
From Hyper-V Manager on a node in Cluster2/ modify the Hyper-V settings.

Explanation:
These are two clusters, to replicate any VM to a cluster you need to configure the Replica
Broker role on each cluster the last step should be enabling replication on the VMs.

Can anyone please confirm the Explanation of this Question’s answer???

I am not convinced by the answer, why we need to use two Replica Brokers in this case?? Its really confusing me???

Also have a look at the links given below, both links have same answer to above question but its different from aiotestking. I am convinced by the answers on these links. Can anyone confirm it???

You could see the Hyper-V Broker as THE virtual Hyper-V HOST representing all Visical hosts within the Cluster. This Hyper-V Broker is THE interface between its Cluster and the outside Hyper-V World. In this question there are 2 Hyper-V Clusters. To communicate they both need this Hyper-V Broker Role. (Communication over Replica will take place between the 2 Hyper-V Broker Roles (It will pass-trough this communication to the Active (Physical) Hyper-V Host within the cluster that has the VM which is replicated source, or (in the other Cluster) is the replicated destination)

B,C seems to be correct for me..
A and E are still a questionmark..
D seems not needed in this scenario (see explanation answer B)

Answer B explanation (Replica Broker only needed on 1 cluster):

Answer C (and A ??) explanation:
How would you start the initial replication? Either over the network or using external media. Since I`m several hundred miles from the actual datacenter and the branch office for instance, I will replicate this over the network. But it`s a good idea to use external media so you`re not overloading your network if this is a big VM or several VMs. You can also use existing VM on the replicate server as the initial copy if you have restored a copy of this VM.

Answer E explanation:
Hyper-V Replica can be enabled in the Hyper-V Settings of a Hyper-V Host. However in a failover cluster, the Hyper-V Replica configurations are grayed out in an individual Hyper-V host’s Hyper-V Settings and to be managed through the Hyper-V Replica Broker role configured with Failover Cluster Manager.

I think i would go with A,B and E for this question

Hyper-V within a Cluster can ONLY be managed via Cluster Manager (NOT(!) Hyper-V Manager).
Any answer containing Hyper-V manager must be wrong.

Correct Answer: ABC
Configure and Manage High Availability
A: Need to have same number of replicated VMs in the replicated site.
B: The Hyper-V Replica Broker is placed in the replicated cluster
C: Once the hosting server is configured for Replica, you can enable replication for each virtual machine that you want to be replicated.
Note:
* Each node of the failover cluster that is involved in Replica must have the Hyper-V server role installed.
* Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Replica is a built-in mechanism for replicating Virtual Machines (VMs). It can replicate selected VMs in real-time or asynchronously from a primary site to a designated replica site across LAN/WAN. Here a replica site hosts a replicated VM while an associated primary site is where the source VM runs. And either a replica site or a primary site can be a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host or a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster.

Within a Cluster every NODE can get the Hyper-V ROLE (this is not the same as a physiscal Hyper-V Server), it is a ROLE. For all Hyper-V ROLES to be able to communicate with th outside world they use the Hyper-V Broker ROLE.

B C and D is correct.

You need a broker in both clusters because the broker essentially enabled the cluster to support live migration (which replication uses)

If you think about it, replication is a 2 way process…why would you only need the broker on 1 cluster?

After a few months of finishing this exam prep, and DOING THIS in a live environment, I can 100% guarentee that B,C and D are the correct answers

Its actually correct. It is BCD.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134240.aspx
This is what it says on the link I have posted:

“Although Hyper-V Replica will work if you configure only the Replica server (to receive replication from primary servers), it is a GOOD PRACTICE to also configure the primary servers to receive replication. This allows you to reverse the replication direction after a failover, which provides replication protection for the newly active Replica server.”

So as we all know that is clustered environment you configure replica via replica broker so BCD actually make sense as it is the prefered way according to microsoft

With all due respect i would say DCE in order. why?

according to Microsoft Exam Ref 70-412 book for a offsite replication after doing step DC On the remote Replica server (installing Hyper-V broker role in source server (D) and replication setting in source server(c):

“Then on the remote Replica server, you configure replication as you normally would, by
configuring Hyper-V Settings in Hyper-V Manager as described in the earlier. However, if you want the remote Replica also to be a multi-node failover cluster, then you would need to configure that remote failover cluster through Failover Cluster Manager (by adding and configuring the Hyper-V Replica Broker role) ”

as you see, Microsoft say if you want Replica server to be a “Multi-Node” failover, then you need to install Huper-v replica broker in replica server as well (here cluster 2). the mean, it’s not necessary. the question only want you to replicate VMs from cluster1 to cluster2 with the role Hyper-V Replica Broker(offsite replica mode) which need to be install only in cluster1 (source server).

Here is a correction of my post ” according to Microsoft Exam Ref 70-412 book for a offsite replication after doing steps D,C on the Resource Server(not remote replica server)”

Sorry the answer BCD is correct 🙂 ….because replicated servers are part of cluster then you need to install Hyper-V replica broker in Cluster2 and use Failover cluster manager, otherwise Hyper-V Manager have to be used.

BCD is correct. using CBT nuggets and they say the replica broker must be enabled on the source and destination cluster. that’s B & D and you have to do C

I believe is A, B and C.

You need 3 virtual machines, so is A.

2 replica brokers are only needed if u won back and forth replication, since u only need to move VMs to cluster 2, you only need 1 replica broker on cluster 2, so is B.

And u need to configure replication on each VM, so answer C.

The correct answers are C-D-E
D. You must configure the Hyper-V Replica Broker for cluster1.

E. We must configure configure the Replica server to receive replication from primary
servers:

In Hyper-V Manager, click Hyper-V Settings in the Actions pane.
In the Hyper-V Settings dialog, click Replication Configuration.
In the Details pane, select Enable this computer as a Replica server.

C. Enable virtual machine replication.
Once the hosting server is configured for Replica, you can enable replication for each virtual machine that you want to be replicated.

The correct answers are C D E in the order of D-E-C
D – config. replica broker on clust1
E – config the clust2 hyper-v settings to receive replication info
C – config on clust1 those machines which we need to replicate.

You are dealing with clusters here. B,C, and D all address cluster operations. A and E address Hyper-V (non-cluster) operations. Go with B, C, and D.

We deal with clusters here so we need to configure this with Failover Cluster manager. I’ll go with B, C, D

LOL. 2 bits here!

The answer is B,C,D

Hyper-V Replica requires the Failover Clustering role Hyper-V Replica Broker to be configured if either the primary or replica Hyper-V server is part of a cluster.

Once the hosting server is configured for Replica, you can enable replication for each virtual machine that you want to be replicated. The details of replication are configured on a per-virtual-machine basis, so each one can have slightly different settings.
