VMware Migration Live vMotion VMware Migration Live vMotion enables a running virtual machine to switch from one physical server to another without interruption. Feature Description No application can interrupt, but fortunately some interruptions can be prevented completely. In situations where you know the interruption of the system, such as care, motions, or natural disasters, is a front-end, you can perform a vMotion of workload from the server for which interrupts are awaited. VMware vSphere vMotion workloads are experiencing zero downtime when migrating from one server to another. This capability is even possible for vSwitches, clusters and even Clouds (depending on vSphere version). During workload migration, the application is still running and users continue to access the systems they need. Talk about keeping productivity high!   Perform VMware Migration Live vMotion! VMware Migration Live vMotion allows you to move an entire running virtual machine from one physical server to another, with no downtime. The virtual machine retains its network identity and connections, ensuring a seamless migration process. Transfer the virtual machine’s active memory and precise execution state over a high-speed network, allowing the virtual machine to switch from running on the source vSphere host to the destination vSphere host. This entire process takes less than two seconds on a gigabit Ethernet network. Live migration allows you to: Automatically optimize virtual machines within resource pools. Perform hardware maintenance without scheduling downtime or disrupting business operations. Move virtual machines away from failing or underperforming servers.   Automate and Schedule Migrations Using VMware vSphere vMotion automated migration, you can schedule migrations at predefined times, without administrator intervention. The VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler, one of vSphere’s automated migration features, uses vMotion to optimize virtual machine performance across vSphere clusters. vMotion allows you to: Migrate multiple virtual machines running any operating system across any type of hardware and storage supported by vSphere, complete with an audit trail. Identify the optimal placement for a virtual machine in seconds     Technical Details Using the Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) The entire state of a virtual machine is encapsulated by a set of shared storage files, such as Fibre Channel, Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) SAN or network-attached storage (NAS). VMware vSphere VMFS allows multiple installations of VMware ESX to access the same virtual machine files concurrently.   vMotion Across Boundaries and Over Long Distances We revolutionized...
