Using Dell PRO Pack 25
VM Live Migration
With live migration, you can migrate a VM from one node of a Windows
Server 2008 R2 failover cluster to another node in the same cluster without
any downtime. As a connected user, you will not experience any interruption
during live migration.
The difference in quick migration and live migration is that there is a
downtime in quick migration whereas, there is no downtime in live migration.
NOTE: Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V supports Quick Migration. Windows Server
2008 R2 Hyper-V supports both Quick Migration and Live Migration.
