which method should you move VM1?

You have a datacenter that contains six servers. Each server has the Hyper-V server role installed and
runs Windows Server 2012 R2. The servers are configured as shown in the following table.

Host4 and Host5 are part of a cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1.
You need to move VM1 to another Hyper-V host. The solution must minimize the downtime of VM1.
To which server and by which method should you move VM1?

A.
To Host3 by using a storage migration

B.
To Host6 by using a storage migration

C.
To Host2 by using a live migration

D.
To Host1 by using a quick migration

Explanation:
With Hyper-V live migration, you can move running VMs from one Hyper-V physical host to another
without any disruption of service or perceived downtime.
Host3 has an Intel processer, as does Host4 and Host5 in Cluster1, so the migration will work fine.
Incorrect:
Not B, not C. The migration of a virtual machine between physical computers is only supported on
computers that have the same processor steppings or are from the same vendor. Therefore you
cannot move a virtual machine from a Hyper-V host on an Intel-based server to a Hyper-V Host on an
AMD-based server.
Not D. Quick Migration saves, moves and restores VMs, which results in some downtime.

    Answer is not correct.
    Don’t get why the storage migration would be the answer as we have the same hosts with the same processors. I don’t know why it talks about host 3 in the explanation as we don’t need this info.

    For me the answer is C Live migration.

    Answer is D.
    Answers A and B are not real VM host migrations. Storage migrations migrates VM files only to new place, leaving VM running on the same VH host.
    Answer C – different processor type forbids live migration.

      You cannot quick migrate to a host that does not share storage. You CAN storage migrate a VM and it will give you the option of migrating to another host in the same wizard. Answer is definitely A.
