Figure 44. Running maintenance mode
In Figure 44, you can see the migration symbol next to the vWS08-SP01 virtual machine. This virtual
machine is live migration-enabled and starting maintenance mode has initiated a live migration from the
WS08R2-S2 host to the WS08R2-S1 host. If more than one virtual machine is live migration-enabled
the subsequent live migrations will all be queued. After the live migrations have finished, the remaining
virtual machines will have their state saved.
When the host maintenance activities have been completed and you’re ready to bring the Hyper-V host
back online, you can expand the Host Groups, right-click on a virtual machine name, and select Stop
maintenance mode as shown in Figure 45.
