You are a server administrator at a company named Contoso, Ltd.
Contoso has a Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V environment configured as shown in the following table.
All of the virtual switches are of the external type.
You need to ensure that you can move virtual machines between the hosts without causing the virtual machines
to disconnect from the network.
Solution: You implement a Hyper-V Replica between Host2 and Host4.
Does this meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
Normally you would say yes, but host2 is AMD and host4 is Intel, so that is not possible 🙂 And the server has only local storage.
Hyper-V Replica can use local storage.
Hyper-V Replica can also be used with different processor brands.

The answer is: Yes.
On second thought: “without causing the virtual machines to disconnect from the network”.
A planned failover on Hyper-V Replica only works by shutting down the VM and initiate the planned failover to the other node.
Tricky one.
