An entity that represents a clustered server to Hyper-V Replica. Because a clustered server comprises more than one physical server, each with a different name, and because Replica requires a physical server name in order to configure replication, the Hyper-V Replica Broker provides a single name that Hyper-V Replica can use to make reference to the Replica server -€” without having to keep track of which physical server is actually running, even after a (clustering) failover. The Hyper-V Replica Broker is configured using Failover Cluster Manager prior to setting up Hyper-V Replica.
