Configuring Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V Replication

Configuring Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V Replication

1. Prepare

2. Step by step : Configuring Windows Hyper-V Replication on DC34,DC35

- DC35 : Install Hyper-V and Enable Replication

+ Server Manager - Manage - Add Roles and Features - Next to 'Server Roles' : Select Hyper-V - Add Features

- Next to 'Virtual Switches' : Slect Ethernet0 (or you want) - Install - Restart server

+ Server Manager - Tools - Hyper-V Manager - Right-Click DC35 - Hyper-V Settings... - Replication Configuration - Tick 'Enable this computer as a Replica server.'

- Tick 'Use Kerberos (HTTP)'(or Use certificate-based if you have the certificate) - Allow replication from the specified servers : Add... :

+ Specify the default location to store replica files - Browse to D:\Replica (or you want) - Select Folder

- DC34 : Enable Replication for Virtual Machine

+ Server Manager - Tools - Hyper-V Manager - DC34 - Right-Click VM01(a virtual machine) - Enable Replication... :

+ Replica server - Browse... : DC35 - Finish

+ Right-Click VM01 - Replication - View Replication Health... - OK

+ Install Web server roles on VM01 - Wating about 10'

- DC35 : Test Failover

+ Hyper-V - Right-Click VM01 - Replication - Test Failover... - Use this recovery point to create the vitual machine to test failover : Select recovery point you want

- Test Failover :

+ Right-Click VM01-Test - Connect... - Start - Check Web service --- OK - Shutdown

+ Right-Click VM01 - Replication - Stop Test Failover - Stop Test Failover

Dude, you are doing a great work, you deserve the best. Thank you

In case DC34 got issues, all VM has been replicated to DC35 successfully. then, DC35 will act as primary server.
But, when DC34 was getting back after a disaster, we need to proceed failback routine to up to date from DC35 to DC34.
How can we do it?
Thank you so much. It is my concern

Dear anh,


It will be great if you can make a series video for Failover Clustering Hyper-V with V-SAN.
It could help us make our system are getting HA more than ever.
Could you please make more video about configuring SAN Switch ?

What if my domain controller is on HyperV Server as VM? Will this work too?
