Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 — Question 73

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.
Server2 hosts a virtual machine named VM1.
You need to ensure that you can start VM1 on Server1 if Server2 fails. The solution must minimize hardware costs.
What should you do?

Answer options

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

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enabling replication for VM1 on Server1 allows it to start from a backup in case Server2 fails, which is essential for high availability. Options A, B, and C do not address the requirement of starting VM1 on Server1 in the event of a failure, nor do they provide a cost-effective solution for disaster recovery.
