Plan your Disaster Recovery Site using Hyper-V Replica

Hyper-V Replica is a new feature added to the Hyper-V Role in Windows Server. It uses an asynchronous data replication technology for organizations to implement an affordable Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) solution for virtualized workloads. This allows virtual machines running at a Primary Site to be efficiently replicated to Secondary Site (Replica Site) across a LAN/WAN link without relying on software or hardware technologies outside of the Windows Server 2012 Operating system. In Windows Server 2012 R2, Microsoft has enhanced Hyper-V Replica features like Extended Replication and configurable Hyper-V Replica frequency options.

Nice Mohammed sounds good clean understanding thanks

[@DrSqaer]

Thank you so much for the great video!
Could you explain how to properly use a backup system like Weam in the case of replication?
Probably correct in this case for the backup system to work on the slave server?

[@619sands]

Good one, thank you for such a clean demo.

[@venuzian]

can we start the DR replica itself in case of failover when the primary server is down?

[@ansariyaseen5904]

Asslamu Alaikum Dear would you also post video hyper v Replica broker with explanation.
The video you are posting it is very informative.
Thank you very much

Ihave question iam do this for mssqldb server can i used different ips as primary and additional one?

[@ronaldpum]

Thanks for the video - how about extended replica - is it possible to do planned failover and reverse to an extended replica site?

[@jasoncummings7052]

A very good question. It's that search that brought me here.
But so far cannot find material.
I will do a test in my lab and share result.

[@sanjurk6307]

What if the primary server had an hardware failure and is not booting up. What is the option to enable the VM from replica server

[@itproguide]

You can startup the VM manually and resynch to primary later

[@navzme]

Very nice thanks.

[@itproguide]

You are welcome

hi, good to watch this. while I was trying my replication configuration is showing Grey out. what would be the reason behind it.

[@itproguide]

Did you enable Hyper-v replication on both node

[@moh.shadab70]

can we replicate MS sql installed VM to another Hyper-V server ? both ms sql replication i have to buy two MS Sql license? that why i am asking will hyper-v replication save cost?

[@itproguide]

You can replicate VM, then no need SQL license, But keep in mind..this is not a High Availability solution. it is DR solution.

[@mindrelaxthings]

good video. are you available to reply.i have a question
