Create a New Hyper-V Replication Scenario

Replication configuration properties are stored in scenarios. You need to create a scenario for each server you wish to protect.

Note: For Hyper-V HA/DR scenarios, RHA does not support the Hyper-V CSV (Cluster Shared Volume) clusters.

To create a Hyper V Replication Scenario

  1. Open the Manager and choose Scenario, New or click the New Scenario button.

    The Welcome dialog opens.

  2. Choose Create a New Scenario, select a Group from the list and click Next.

    Note: All scenarios you create are put in this scenario group. If you do not change the name, the final group name includes the Master server name as part of it.

  3. The Select Server and Product Type dialog opens. Choose Hyper-V, Replication and Data Recovery Scenario (DR) and click Next.
  4. The Master and Replica Hosts dialog opens. Select or type a Scenario group Name, enter the Hostname or IP Address and Port number for both Master and Replica servers, enable the Verify Arcserve RHA Engine on Hosts option and click Next.
  5. Wait for Engine Verification to complete. Click Install if you need to upgrade the Engine service on one or both servers. When ready, click Next.
  6. The Select Database for Replication dialog opens. Review the list of results auto-discovered on the Master server. By default, all VMs are replicated. Clear choices if desired and click Next.
  7. The Replica Root Directories dialog opens. Accept the defaults or select the desired root directories on the Replica and click Next.
  8. The Scenario Properties dialog opens. Set properties, as desired, and click Next.
  9. The Master and Replica Properties dialog opens. Set properties, as desired, and click Next.
  10. Wait for Scenario Verification to complete. Resolve any warning or errors and click Next.
  11. From the Scenario Run dialog, click Run Now to initiate synchronization and activate the scenario or click Finish to run the scenario later.
