Figure 43. Selecting Live Migration for highly available VMs
The Start Maintenance Mode dialog enables you to choose which action you want VMM to take on the
virtual machines running on a selected host. You can either select to live-migrate HA-enabled virtual
machines to other hosts or you can elect to simply save the state of all running virtual machines.
Selecting the Live migrate all running HA virtual machines to other hosts in the cluster as you see
in Figure 43 will instruct VMM to use live migration to move all live migration-enabled virtual machines
to other hosts. Any running virtual machines that are not live migration-enabled will have their state
saved. Click Start maintenance mode to begin this process.
