A company has offices in Seattle and Shanghai. You use Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 as the server
virtualization platform. Each office has a secured server room where all the servers are located. Eighty
percent of the company’s servers are virtual. The company signs a data center services agreement with
a vendor that is located in New York. The agreement includes a 1 GB per second link to the collocation
facility in New York.
The link between the Seattle and Shanghai offices is slow and unreliable. You must design and
implement a cost-effective data recovery solution to replicate virtual servers from Seattle to both the
New York and Shanghai locations.
The solution must support the following requirements:
Perform failover replication from Seattle to New York.
Perform scheduled replication between as many locations as possible.
In case of a disaster, a fast failover should be possible to the replicated servers with minimal
changes required to the existing infrastructure.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A.
Use Hyper-V Replica unplanned failovers.
B.
Configure the Seattle Hyper-V server as the primary replica server and the Shanghai Hyper-V server as
the secondary replica server.
C.
Use Hyper-V Replica planned failovers.
D.
Configure the Seattle Hyper-V server as the primary replica server and the New York Hyper-V server
as the secondary replica server.
Explanation:
A: Unplanned Failover is an operation initiated on the replica VM when the primary VM/site is hit by a
disaster.
Incorrect:
Not B: We should not use Shanghai as the secondary replica server as the link between the Seattle and
Shanghai offices is slow and unreliable.
Not C: We must protect against disaster, so we cannot use planned failovers. Types of failover operations in Hyper-V Replica–Part III – Unplanned Failover
