You need to ensure that you can start VM1 on Server1 if Server2 fails

Your network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server
2012 R2.

Both servers have the Hyper-V server role installed. Server1 and Server2 are located in
different offices. The offices connect to each other by using a high-latency WAN link.
Server2 hosts a virtual machine named VM1.
You need to ensure that you can start VM1 on Server1 if Server2 fails. The solution must
minimize hardware costs.

What should you do?

A.
On Server1, install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature. Modify the storage location of the
VHDs for VM1.

B.
From the Hyper-V Settings of Server2, modify the Replication Configuration settings.
Enable replication for VM1.

C.
On Server2, install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature. Modify the storage location of the
VHDs for VM1.

D.
From the Hyper-V Settings of Server1, modify the Replication Configuration settings.
Enable replication for VM1.

Explanation:
You first have to enable replication on the Replica server–Server1–by going to the server
and modifying the “Replication Configuration” settings under Hyper-V settings. You then go
to VM1–which presides on Server2– and run the “Enable Replication” wizard on VM1.

Why not B? Aren’t you supposed to configure replication on the source first? If the VM resides on Server2, then there’s nothing on Server1 to configure replication for.

Sorry. I thought it again and answer explanation is correct.So, correct answer is D.

So the answer is tricky. 2nd sentence of answer D – Enable Replication for VM1 (done on VM1 from Server2).
