Before proceeding with configuring Volume Replicator on Hyper-V, ensure that your setup meets the following requirements:
Note: |
To implement replication on the virtual machine, you must ensure that all disks that are given to the virtual machine belong to the same disk group. |
To failover a virtual machine, you need to failover all the disks that are associated with a virtual machine. This way, the virtual machine has a resource dependency on its disk groups (DG).
For a successful failover, the virtual machine must have a dependency on its Replicated Volume Group (RVG) resource. A dependency on the RVG resource implies a dependency on the disk group to which an RVG belongs.
If all disks associated with a virtual machine belong to the same disk group as an RVG, then the Virtual machine needs to have a resource dependency only on its RVG.
