Replicate Partition Over Network

  • 772

Is there a way, in Windows Server 2012 to replicate two same-size partitions over the network in real-time, preferably at driver level (not user-land)?

I am asking for two Hyper-V servers. There is not budget for a proper SAN, but there is budget to pick up an extra four-port 1g NIC for both servers (and connect them directly to one another). We only need one copy of each VM running at a time, so synchronous writes to the same file don't need to be supported.

Essentially the servers would work on their local copy of the partition, and replicate the changes remotely in real-time a la RAID-1 (both servers are running four-HDD RAID-10). Is there a protocol / procedure for this?

    You should be using Hyper-V Replica for this.
