Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services — Question 103

Your network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Both servers have the Hyper-V server role installed. Server1 and Server2 are located in different offices. The offices connect to each other by using a high-latency
WAN link.
Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1.
You need to ensure that you can start VM1 on Server2 if Server1 fails. The solution must minimize hardware costs.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. . On Server1, install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature. Modify the storage location of the VHDs for VM1.
• B. From the Hyper-V Settings of Server2, modify the Replication Configuration settings. Enable replication for VM1.
• C. On Server2, install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature. Modify the storage location of the VHDs for VM1.
• D. From the Hyper-V Settings of Server1, modify the Replication Configuration settings. Enable replication for VM1.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because enabling replication for VM1 from Server2's Hyper-V settings allows for the VM to be started on Server2 if Server1 fails, thus ensuring business continuity. Options A and C focus on installing MPIO and adjusting VHD storage locations, which do not address the need for VM replication. Option D incorrectly suggests modifying Server1's settings to enable replication, which is not the correct approach for initiating the replication on Server2.
