Hi
A short summary:
I'm running a 2 node Hyper-V Failover Cluster based on Windows Server 2012 R2. I have our VMs stored at 4 different CSVs.
This setup has already been running fine for a few years.
At the moment I'm trying to learn how Hyper-V replica works to setup a DR site for the most important VMs to start with. I've installed a server with Hyper-V also at 2012 R2 (Not a cluster!). I can successfully do a planned failover for a VM to DR site, but the issue is that I cannot do a reverse failover to the primary site, because not configured properly.
I've installed the Replica Broker role on the cluster, but I'm not sure about how to specify the location to store replica files. here. (I read another post about the issue to have several CSVs, so thats not the question if I only use one).
Lets say VM01 is localed at CSV 2 (C:\clusterstorage\volume2). Also many other VMs are located on the same CSV. VM01 is running at the DR site now and I just want it back to the cluster. Should I just specify c:\clusterstorage\Volume2 as the location? Will it "find" the original VMs files then and just update them or will it create a copy of that VM? (Of course I just want it to update the orifinal VMs files). Will this affect the other VMs on this CSV?
Just need someone to helt / confirm this so this doesn't cause a major issue...
Thanks!
