Client Replication

Replication The clients servers that will be replicated are on the .154 server, these will replicate to the .153 server.

New Replication

To start connect to the .155 server, right click the desired client and select the option to Enable replication.

Once the box pops up you will type in HVHOST06 for Replica Server, go through the next few pages until you see frequency for replication set the replication at a 15 Mins frequency.

Once you set the frequency you will continue forward until you finish setting up the replication.

You will then want to verify that it is sending the replication by reviewing .156.

CHECKING REPLICATION

You will log onto the .155 server and will check to make sure the replication status is "normal" for live clients.

If any of the status for the clients are set to "Critical" Or "Warning" you will need to review the client and either start the replication again or reset the replication.

To restart the client replication you can right click the client select the Replication option then resume replication.

This has a chance to fail, in which you will want to re-do the replication.

RE-DOING REPLICATION

Connect to both .155 and .156 servers, once on both servers you will start with removing the replication on the .154 server for the desired client that is having issues.

You will then right click the client and select the Replication option, then Remove Replication.

Once you have removed the replication on .155 you will head to .156, find the matching client name and right click the client, select Settings and find the hard drive/folder name that is specific to this client.

You will want to make note of the virtual hard disk name as you will need to delete this folder and the contents.

The link to the folder will look like this (G:\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\Hyper-V Replica\Virtual hard disks\FE5EA4CA-8C01-4CDD-AD12-055302110778)

Once you have the folder name you will want to remove the replication from the client, after removing the replication for the client delete the folder with the folder name you saved earlier. Once you have removed the replication and have deleted the folder you will then delete the client from the HyperV list by right clicking the client name and selecting delete.

Once you have finished deleting the HyperV from .156 you will want to head back to .155 and re-enable the replication using the steps under New Replication above.
