AZ-801 Question #170: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have two servers named Host1 and Host2 that run Windows Server and are members of a workgroup named Contoso. Both servers have the Hyper-V server role installed and are identical in hardware and configuration. Host1 contains three virtual machines. Each server is located in a separate site that connect by using a high-speed WAN link. You need to replicate the virtual machines from Host1 to Host2 for a disaster recovery solution. Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Options

• AEnable live migration for Host1 and Host2.
• BUse Kerberos authentication and enable TCP exceptions.
• CEnable Hyper-V replication for each virtual machine.
• DEnable Host1 as a Replica server.
• EUse certificate-based authentication and enable TCP exceptions.
• FEnable Host2 as a Replica server.

Explanation

To set up Hyper-V Replica between two workgroup servers for disaster recovery, you must enable Host2 as the Replica server, configure each virtual machine on Host1 for replication, and use certificate-based authentication with appropriate TCP firewall exceptions due to the workgroup environment.

Common mistakes.

• A. Live migration is a feature for moving running VMs in a clustered environment, not for asynchronous replication for disaster recovery.
• B. Kerberos authentication is only possible in an Active Directory domain environment, not in a workgroup setup as specified in the scenario.
• D. Host1 is the source server where the VMs reside and from which they will be replicated, not the replica server that receives the replicas.
