In a cluster on which VM is already running, SCVMM will use Live Migration. SAN migration will be used across different
clusters or standalone hosts, and will be enabled if the access to the PS Series group for the template volume is correctly
configured on the target host. Unlike Live Migration, the VM is saved on the source host and restored on the target host.
The ability to migrate a particular VM depends on the availability setting (high or standard) and the properties of the target
host (standalone or cluster node). For more information about these limitations, click the Rating Explanation tab. (See the
following figure.)
Figure 21. Migrate VM Wizard—Rating Explanation Tab
3. Continue with the remaining screens in the wizard. If the migration is successful, the VM is displayed under the target host
in the VMs and Services workspace view.
For more information about VM migration, see the Microsoft SCVMM documentation.
Migrate Storage of a Deployed VM to Another
Location
You can migrate the storage of a deployed VM from a CSV volume to a different CSV volume, or from a non-CSV volume to a
CSV volume.
1. In the VMs and Services workspace view, right-click the VM and select Migrate Storage.
2. In the Migrate Storage wizard, browse to the CSV or available storage to use as the target for migration, then click Next,
as shown in the following figure.
