• Overview of Hyper-V Replica• Infrastructure Planning• Deployment Considerations and
Automation• What’s new in Windows Server 2012 R2
Session Objectives and Takeaways
Hyper-V Replica - Windows Server 2012
Simple Affordable Flexible
Inbox Replication DR Scenarios
Application Agnostic Storage Agnostic
Deployment Scenarios
Replication between two data centers
DR as a Service

Hoster’s Data Center
Infrastructure Planning
Infrastructure PlanningCustomer Asks:• How much network bandwidth is
required?• How much storage is required?• Is my IOPS provisioning sufficient?• Does Hyper-V Replica impact CPU,
Memory?
Demo
Capacity Planning
Download the Capacity Planner from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39057

Storage IOPS
Network
Network Throttling• How do I use specific bandwidth for replica traffic?
• Use Windows Server 2012 QoS to throttle replication traffic
• Throttling based on the destination subnetNew-NetQosPolicy “Replication Traffic to 10.0.0.0/8” –DestinationAddress 10.0.0.0/8 –MinBandwidthWeightAction 40
• Throttling based on the destination portNew-NetQosPolicy “Replication Traffic to 8080” –DestinationPort 8080 –ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond 100000
Demo
Network Throttling
Network Compression• Compression on by default• WAN optimizers on top of built-in compression
• Whitepaper available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36786
Deployment
• How do I transfer the initial VHDs?• Online Initial Replication• Out of band – Export and Import IR package• Backup/Restore with Resync
• Where do I place the replica VHDs?• Default storage location• Storage migrate to custom location before IR• Backup/Restore
Deployment Considerations
• How should I monitor replication?• Replication Health and State• Last Synchronized Time• Average Replication Latency• Perfmon counters and Event
logs
Deployment Considerations
• How are replication failures handled?• Network disconnects -
Automatic retry and resume semantics
• Out of sync - Resynchronization
Deployment Considerations
• What happens when VMs migrate?• Migration of primary VMs• Live migration and storage migration of logs• Replication resumes post migration of VMs
• Migration of replica VMs• Primary server authorization
• What is my backup strategy?•Backup from Hyper-V Primary Server
Deployment Considerations
• What’s running in the guest? • Hyper-V support matrix including Linux• Guest IP injection • http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831531.aspx• Support for Virtualized AD• Recommended: AD with WS 2012
• Support for SQL workloads• Required: EnableWriteOrderPreservationAcrossDisks
Guest Dependencies
• Failover Actions (Test/Planned/Unplanned)•Failover to latest or older point in time•Static IP injection or DHCP or Network virtualization•Failback•Split brain scenarios
Failover Considerations

Positioning – What Hyper-V Replica isn’t?Solution Use Cases Replica PositionSAN Replication
• High availability with zero data loss • DR for Virtualized workloads
• 30 Sec – 15 minLive Migration • Load balancing
• Server Patching• Multi site • Complements
Storage Migration
• Storage out of space• Storage upgrade
• Ongoing Replication• Complements
Guest Clustering
• Guest application patching• Guest application failure
• Not compatible
Backup solutions
• Data recovery• Archival for compliance, auditing
• Disaster Recovery only
System Center + HRM
• Manage @ Scale • Platform component of Enterprise DR
