VERY well done!

Time - 10.53. Why Data drive was not visible on B server, after you made example folder and file on server A? Drive was hidden on server B, until you make B server as primary? I just did not get idea, how this technology can be used in production.

[@ITOpsTalk]

It's a DR technology - so you can only read/write to one drive at a time. You switch over if you have a storage failure. There are other options such as Azure File Sync and DFS if you want to read/write to multiple file server nodes (say one in Sydney and one in Tokyo).

Could/would/should this replace DFSR for file server replication between two locations?

[@ITOpsTalk]

I'd replace DFSR with Azure File Sync - that way you can have active file shares at each location. This is more of a DR technology because the secondary isn't active until you switch direction or break the partnership.
