Question

When configuring the subject common name (CN) on an X.509 digital certificate to be used for Hyper-V replication, what value should be used for the subject CN if a failover cluster hosts the VM?

A) The FQDN of the Hyper-V Replica Broker

B) The NetBIOS name of the Hyper-V Replica Broker

C) The FQDN of the Hyper-V cluster name

D) The NetBIOS name of the Hyper-V cluster name

Answer 1

The FQDN of the Hyper-V cluster name (Option C) should be used for the subject CN on an X.509 digital certificate when a failover cluster hosts the VM in Hyper-V replication.

Step-by-step explanation:

When configuring the subject common name (CN) on an X.509 digital certificate to be used for Hyper-V replication, the value that should be used for the subject CN if a failover cluster hosts the VM is The FQDN of the Hyper-V cluster name (Option C).

The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) represents the complete domain name including the host name and the domain name. In this case, the FQDN of the Hyper-V cluster name will accurately represent the failover cluster that hosts the VM.

Using the FQDN ensures that the digital certificate is valid for all the nodes of the cluster and allows for successful Hyper-V replication.
