This blog post explains how to perform a live migration of a Hyper-V virtual machine without using failover clustering. It starts by discussing the benefits of live migration, including the ability to move virtual machines between physical servers with no downtime.
It then goes on to describe the steps involved in performing a live migration without failover clustering, including configuring the source and destination servers, setting up network storage, and moving the virtual machine using the Hyper-V Manager.
The post also highlights some potential issues that can occur during the migration process and provides recommendations for avoiding them. It emphasizes the importance of planning and testing before performing a live migration to ensure a successful outcome.
What is Live Migration?
Live Migration is performed when a user migrates virtual machines from one host to another without powering off the VM. This is especially useful for system administrators when they need to restore operations for critical VMs quickly or when they want to run a maintenance check/update for some VMs without downtime for the users.
Load balancing is another benefit of Live Migration, where the load is distributed across different nodes to optimize CPU resource utilization.
