By default, VMs are stored in \hyper-v\vm and replicas are stored in \hyper-v\replica\.  So, when you failover, your new mission-critical VM is located in the replica folder.  This is confusing and its a pain to move the replica back to the default hyper-v\vm folder.  

Comments and suggestions welcomed.

It's your system. Do whatever you want to do.

But Replica is meant for DR. Most people wouldn't consider running out of the DR facility to be a permanent situation. I suspect they'd rather know at a glance whether or not they're dealing with an original or a replica.

Hello,

I understand your point. What we actually do in that case is the following:

Once the initial replication has been completed, we go to the Hyper-V (or Failover Cluster) Manager and move the VM Storage location.

Like that you can consolidate your replicated VMs with the "normal" VMs.

You're welcome.

Let me know if you have other questions re. Hyper-V ;-)
