You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server. Both servers have the Hyper-V server role installed. Server1 hosts three virtual machines named VM1, VM2, and VM3. The virtual m

Simply selecting 'Start' for a replicated VM on the replica server will not perform the necessary failover steps or ensure data consistency if the primary server failed unexpectedly.

The 'Move' option is used for live migration or storage migration of a VM, not for disaster recovery of replicated virtual machines after a primary server failure.

An Unplanned Failover is the correct action to take when the primary Hyper-V host (Server1) experiences an unexpected failure and is unavailable. This process brings the replicated virtual machine (VM1, VM2, VM3) online on the replica server (Server2) using the latest available replicated data, ensuring minimal downtime.

A Planned Failover requires both the primary and replica servers to be online and is used for scheduled maintenance or anticipated outages, which is not the case for an unexpected hardware failure.
