Configure Azure Site Recovery for Hyper-V VM Replication

Configure Azure Site Recovery for Hyper-V VM Replication

Question

You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1.

You create several Azure virtual machines in Subscription1. All of the virtual machines belong to the same virtual network.

You have an on-premises Hyper-V server named Server1. Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1.

You plan to replicate VM1 to Azure.

You need to create additional objects in Subscription1 to support the planned deployment.

Which three objects should you create? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

To replicate an on-premises virtual machine to Azure, you need to create additional objects in Azure that support the planned deployment. The three objects that you need to create are:

  1. Azure Recovery Services Vault: An Azure Recovery Services Vault is a storage entity in Azure that provides an interface to manage backups and replication of virtual machines. It is the primary object you need to create to support replication.

  2. Storage account: A storage account is used to store the replicated data of the virtual machine. You can choose either a general-purpose v2 storage account or a Blob storage account for this purpose.

  3. Replication policy: A replication policy specifies the replication settings for a virtual machine. It includes the frequency of replication, the retention period for replicated data, and the number of recovery points to retain.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

  • B. Azure Recovery Services Vault
  • C. Storage account
  • D. Replication policy

The other answer choices (A, E, F) are not required to support the replication of the virtual machine to Azure. Here's a brief explanation of these choices:

  • A. Hyper-V site: A Hyper-V site is a collection of Hyper-V hosts that are managed together. It is not required to support replication to Azure.

  • E. Azure Traffic Manager instance: Azure Traffic Manager is a global DNS service that directs incoming traffic to different endpoints based on routing rules. It is not required for replicating a virtual machine to Azure.

  • F. Endpoint: An endpoint is a network port on a virtual machine that enables communication with other virtual machines or services. It is not required to support replication to Azure.
