This guide attempts to outline the process to rebuild replication for GuestVMs on a one-by-one basis. + +!!! note "Assumptions" + This guide assumes you have two Hyper-V Failover Clusters, for the sake of the guide, we will refer to the Production cluster as `CLUSTER-01` and the Replication cluster as `CLUSTER-02`. This guide also assumes that Replication was set up beforehand, and does not include instructions on how to deploy a Replica Broker (at this time). + +## Locate the GuestVM (CLUSTER-01) +You need to start by locating the GuestVM in the Production cluster, CLUSTER-01.
