Figure 51. Running storage migration
Starting the quick storage migration process displays the Jobs window shown in Figure 51. The quick
storage migration progress appears in the Status column. In addition, the progress of the specific quick
storage migration job steps is shown in the lower right portion of the Jobs window.
When a quick storage migration is initiated, the virtual machine continues running while VMM copies
the virtual machine’s virtual hard disk (VHD) in the background. After the VMM has copied the VHD,
VMM pauses the virtual machine and copies the differencing disk to the new location and applies it to
the virtual machine. After the quick storage migration has finished, VMM will restart the virtual machine
on the target host as you can see in Figure 52.
