Hyper v live migrations

[Craig Knights]

Some of you will roll your eyes and wonder if I've been hiding under a rock not knowing about this..   But moving server VMs live from one hyper v host to another has kind of been a wow moment in the last week.

Copies the live memory and virtual disks.. then it just carries on.

Only lose 1 ping... RDP sessions stay connected... it's just so useful for doing hardware upgrades..

Although I use Proxmox, live migrations have been a god send when moving server rooms.

HI Craig,

Welcome out from under the rock :-)..  Migration to new hardware becomes much easier.. no longer have to schedule outages and rack up heaps of overtime to get stuff migrated..

I have flicked my VMs from one host to another and moved the storage from one 3PAR, Fibre attached, to another while in production and no one has noticed a thing...
