VM Live Migration

As a connected user, during 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 or interruption.

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.
