After an administrator has enabled CSV, created a SQL Server 2008 R2 VM, congured the
automatic start option, and made the VM highly available, it is time to initiate a live migra-

in the console tree, right-click Failover Cluster Manager.
2. Click Manage A Cluster, and then select or specify the cluster. Expand Nodes.
3. In the console tree located on the left side, select the node to which Live Migration will
move the clustered VM.
4. Right-click the VM resource that is displayed in the center pane, and then click Live
Migrate Virtual Machine To Another Node.
5. Select the node that the VM will be moved to in the migration, as shown in Figure 4-12.
After the migration is complete, the VM should be running on the node selected.
