HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Logical Server Management User Guide

Figure 4 Assigning logical servers to VM Hosts during Move
NOTE: Multiple datastores are supported for a variety of VMware ESXi and Hyper-V
environments. All storage volumes for an Integrity VM virtual machine must use the same datastore,
and Hyper-V Linked Clone disks must use the same datastore. A Copy Move operation for a VM
using multiple data stores will result in all files on the one chosen data store.
If you do not select an operation, the best match is selected automatically.
Table 3 Move operations
Operation (Datastore)Target host
Copy Move (default), Live Move, SAN Move, or Unlike Move. (If Live
Move or SAN Move is an available option, Copy Move is not
displayed.)
ESX Host
Quick Move (default), Copy Move, SAN Move, or Unlike Move.Hyper-V Host
Live Move (also known as Online Move), SAN move.Integrity VM Host
Profile Move (default), or Unlike Move.Server with Virtual Connect
• Profile Move (Virtual Connect Only)
Moves a server connection profile within a Virtual Connect Domain Group.
• Live Move (ESX VM, Hyper-V, and Integrity VM)
Also known as Online Move. Moves a running virtual machine, its operating system, and its
applications from one VM Host to another VM Host without an operating system reboot or
application restart. All I/O connections to storage and networks remain active throughout the
move. Initiates VMware VMotion technology from Insight Control virtual machine management,
and requires that vCenter is installed and running.
• SAN-based Fast Move (ESX VM, Integrity VM, Hyper-V)
Executes fast logical server moves between dissimilar VM Host hardware (within the same
VM Host type).
• Copy Move (ESX VM and Hyper-V VM Only)
Moves a logical server to a target host within a virtual machine management domain that is
not connected to a SAN. The VM Host that the logical server is copied to has a separate Copy
Move choice for each valid datastore. Only one datastore can be selected, so a virtual machine
using multiple datastores will have all files on the one, selected datatore after the Copy Move.
