Storage Mirroring Recover Virtual Recovery Assistant uses Storge Mirroring to configure
the replication set and monitor failover conditions.
Protect an entire physical or virtual machine using a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine
Storage Mirroring Recover can be used to protect entire physical or virtual machines
with Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. Virtual Recovery Assistant technology is used
to automatically provision the virtual machines for you on the target Hyper-V host, greatly
simplifying the protection process.
● The Storge Mirroring clients are used to create protection jobs.
● The target Hyper-V host server is a physical machine that the Hyper-V host
software runs on. All replica virtual machines will reside on this host.
● Virtual replica machines are hosted by the Hyper-V host server. The virtual
replica machines are created by the source protection job, but remain powered off
until failover. At failover, the replica machine is powered on and assumes the
identity of the original source machine.
