You have an on-premises Hyper-V cluster that hosts 20 virtual machines. Some virtual machines run Windows Server 2016 and some run Linux.

You plan to migrate the virtual machines to an Azure subscription.

You need to recommend a solution to replicate the disks of the virtual machines to Azure. The solution must ensure that the virtual machines remain available during the migration of the disks.

Solution: You recommend implementing an Azure Storage account, and then running AzCopy.

Does this meet the goal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To migrate virtual machines to Azure while ensuring they remain available, you should use a solution specifically designed for such migrations. AzCopy is a command-line utility to copy files and is not suitable for replicating full virtual machine disks while maintaining their availability. A more appropriate tool for this scenario would be Azure Migrate or Azure Site Recovery, as they are designed to handle the continuous replication of virtual machines' disks, ensuring minimal downtime and availability during the migration process.

The answer is correct, but use Azure Migrate instead of Azure Site Recovery (which is for BCDR purposes). This is a migration strategy and can be implemented without disrupting operations. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-migrate-hyper-v#replicate-hyper-v-vms

Answer is certainly correct and I still think azure site recovery is the keep for achieving the scenario of keeping vm operational during migration

Azure Migrate is needed. See Q9 in same set. Answer explained is wrong.

It might be nitpicking, but of course you can use AzCopy to move the disks to Azure while they are attached using Volume Shadow Copy. But in contrast to using Azure Migrate, you will loose everything that happened after this snapshot.

volume copy does not work for linux

"The solution must ensure that the virtual machines remain available during the migration of the disks." As you say, with Azcopy 'you will lose everything that happened after this snapshot', and that is not what I would call a 'migration'.

Azure Migrate is the solution to this so answer is No https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/migrate-services-overview Migrate VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, physical servers, other virtualized servers, and public cloud VMs to Azure.
