Measures reported by HvVMReplicaHTest

Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Role introduces a new capability, Hyper-V Replica, as a built-in replication mechanism at a virtual machine (VM) level. Hyper-V Replica can asynchronously replicate a selected VM running at a primary site to a designated replica site across LAN/WAN.

To track the replication status of each VM and promptly capture errors in the replication process, administrators can use the HvVMReplicaHTest test.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Replica_state Indicates the replication state of this VM.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Error 0
FailOverWaitingCompletion 1
FailedOver 2
NotApplicable 3
ReadyForInitialReplication 4
Replicating 5
Resynchronizing 6
ResynchronizeSuspended 7
Suspended 8
SyncedReplicationComplete 9
WaitingForInitialReplication 10
WaitingForStartResynchronize 11

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values in the table above to indicate replication state. In the graph of this measure however, the same will be represented using the numeric equivalents only.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure reports the primary server name, the replica server name, and the current replica server name of a VM.

Replica_health Indicates the replication health of this VM.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 0
Warning 1
Critical 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values in the table above to indicate replication health. In the graph of this measure however, the same will be represented using the numeric equivalents only.

Replica_mode Indicates the replication mode of this VM. Number The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 0
Primary 1
Replica 2
TestReplica 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values in the table above to indicate replication mode. In the graph of this measure however, the same will be represented using the numeric equivalents only.

Last_replica_time Indicates how much time this VM took to replicate last. Secs
