Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 — Question 82

Your network contains two servers named Server 1 and Server 2 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.
Server 1 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. From the Hyper-V Settings of Server2, modify the Replication Configuration settings. Enable replication for VM1.
• B. on Server 1, 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 Vml.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because enabling replication for VM1 on Server2 allows it to start VM1 if Server1 fails, which is essential for maintaining availability over a high-latency connection. Options B and C involve installing the Multipath I/O feature and modifying storage, which does not address the requirement of enabling VM failover. Option D incorrectly suggests modifying settings on Server1 instead of Server2.
