We had a fun demo of how to configure and use Hyper-V Replica in Windows Server 2012 using two HP MicroServers at the KYSBSUG meeting on Thursday May 9, 2013. Hyper-V replica truly is one of the killer features of Windows Server 2012.
Below are the links we discussed at the KYSBSUG meeting along with some extra URLs from my Hyper-V Replica research.
Tip: If you’re completely green to Hyper-V Replica, check out out the VIR302 video below from TechEd 2012.
Bottom line – this list is pretty much anything you could ever want to know about Hyper-V Replica in Windows Server 2012:
