Implement disaster recovery

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.

Why each option

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.

AEnable live migration for Host1 and Host2.

Live migration is a feature for moving running VMs in a clustered environment, not for asynchronous replication for disaster recovery.

BUse Kerberos authentication and enable TCP exceptions.

Kerberos authentication is only possible in an Active Directory domain environment, not in a workgroup setup as specified in the scenario.

CEnable Hyper-V replication for each virtual machine.Correct

To replicate specific virtual machines, you must individually enable Hyper-V replication for each VM on the source server, specifying the replica server and authentication method.

DEnable Host1 as a Replica server.

Host1 is the source server where the VMs reside and from which they will be replicated, not the replica server that receives the replicas.

EUse certificate-based authentication and enable TCP exceptions.Correct

Since the servers are in a workgroup, Kerberos authentication (which requires Active Directory) is not feasible for Hyper-V Replica. Certificate-based authentication is the necessary alternative, and firewall exceptions are required for replication traffic.

FEnable Host2 as a Replica server.Correct

The destination server, Host2, must be configured as a Hyper-V Replica server to enable it to receive and store the replicated virtual machine data from Host1.
