Storage Replica (Install, Create and Configure)

[@50PullUps]

This is easily the best explanation for setting up a stretch cluster with Storage Replica on KZbin. I should know, I've crawled my way through all the other ones. Keep up the good work!

thanks for support.

[@mikechavez61]

Excellent video. Excellent mustache.

[@hgbugalou]

You can use Windows Admin Center if you want a GUI to manage this.

hi thanks for the video! one more question: how to use replciated volume? if I have chashed source Hyper-V or planned maintenance (or whatever) - how to switch to replicated volume and back? thanks in advance for the answer

[@whats-better]

You need to break the partnership using remove-SRpartnership cmdlet and then the volume will be mounted on the destination server ready to be used with all the replicated data.

[@gilberttan7244]

hi sir, can you make a video on how to recover and make the second server to be used in production when primary server gets down

[@ozom]

Would you know if 1 large log volume can be shared by multiple data volumes?

Hello @BTNHD can you please tell me what are your specifications? Your VM are very fluid, and you use two of them at the same time. I tried the same thing, but the lag was constantly presented. My spec are: Ram: 8gb Win: 8.1 Geforce 740M Processor: 2,50Ghz Is it enough for running two or more VM at the same time?

[@aragaorj]

I did not understand the reason of the disk for the logs to have the same size for the file disks. Could you tell me why? Another detail! I have an ad in my network with file server. I want to sync with another AD with Fileserver in the Azure Cloud. How could I accomplish the replica storage there ??? And how will users access the data in the cloud?

[@whats-better]

The disk for the logs should be at least 8GB as per microsoft documentation. You can keep it 20-50 GB considering the usage. Make sure that your on premises file server is connected via VPN to the Azure file server. Then you should be able to do the same as they both will be able to connect to one other.

[@mouradnm5606]

Thanx for this video, but to see what happend in background you have to execute the second command line in the destination VM. Thanx again.

I have tried the steps mentioned in this video. But getting this error. Did anyone got this error New-SRPartnership : The network path was not found. At line:1 char:1 + New-SRPartnership -SourceComputerName SRV01 -SourceRGName SourceRG -S ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (MSFT_WvrAdminTasks:root/Microsoft/...T_WvrAdminTasks) [New-SRPartnership], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Windows System Error 53,New-SRPartnership

Great video. What would be a good prod based used of storage replicas? Its different from DFS and HyperV replicas. Can both E:\ drives be accessed or was it just on StorageRep1 ?

[@kauffmann101]

DFS is file based replication ,however Storage replica is block based replication . You can access E drive in both server. The general purpose of storage replica is on File server . It is very depends on the scenario and situation with adopting DFS or Storage Replica in environment

[@jonathansartaguda8022]

does Storage replica need Active directory

[@mahdiahmadlou7978]

yes

[@realworldzombieland8492]

is it possible to have a two way replicated using storage replica?

[@kauffmann101]

You can configure another set of SR partnership with setting server 2 as source and server 1 as destination

[@whats-better]

yes. It is possible but I guess you will replicate different pair of volumes

[@antoniovargas2436]

When I run the steps I get this error "Unable to create replication group SourceRG, detailed reason: The system cannot find the file specified" I'm drawing a blank. Any help would be great.

[@kaheitsui3737]

same problem, any help?

[@pavannekkanti697]

hi , can we do S2D 2 node storage replica?

[@christiangordon659]

It looks like you fubar'd your replicated disk (E: on Replica 2) when you completed the configuration.

Excellent dude!
