Hyper-V Replica on Azure Stack HCI

Question

Hi all !

I was wondering if the "Hyper-V replica" feature is supported on Azure Stack HCI OS ?
I mean replicate some VMs between 2 Azure Stack HCI separate clusters, not using "stretched cluster".

I can't find an official answer in Microsoft's documentation.
The only thing that tells me it's not supported is this documentation :
How to set-up Hyper-V replica ?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/manage/set-up-hyper-v-replica

This documentation seems to apply only on :
Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016.
Azure Stack OS is not mentionned.

One customer told me that he opened a case with the Microsoft support team, who told him that this feature was supported.
Then he asked Fast Track Engineers and others people at Microsoft... who say it is not supported.

Can we get official documentation from Microsoft to shed some light on this?
I know it is technically possible to use this feature, but is it really supported?

Thanks in advance !

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

I checked with internal team on this and Yes it is supported, but only between Azure Stack HCI hosts.

Hope this helps.
