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:
A)
Host3 is the only option to allow minimum downtime and has same processor manufacturers
B)
Live Storage Migration requires same processor manufacturers
C)
Live migration requires same same processor manufacturers
D)
Quick migration has downtime
NOTE: Exam may have more options but same answer

A) Wrong. Storage migration only moves VHD
B) Wrong. Storage migration only moves VHD
C) Wrong. Different processor requires previous processor compatibility configuration, or manual export/import operation
D) Correct. It will take a little VM downtime due to snaphot operation

I still think the answer is A. The problem I have with D is that quick Migrations require the nodes to be in a cluster. From the question, only nodes 4 and 5 are in a cluster therefore making a quick migration not possible to host1. I also don’t like the question because it doesn’t specify storage of VM or the whole thing or just who is actually running it. So in a way, answer A is the only possible solution. It is impossible to do the other solutions in their current state. With A, you can migrate the storage and then shut it down and spin it up on another machine.
Answer A

You don’t even have to shut it down, according to TechNet at least
Quick storage migration — […] Downtime is minimal because quick storage migration takes a snapshot of the virtual machine and transfers data without requiring the virtual machine to be turned off.

According to TechNet’s Migrating Virtual Machines and Storage Overview
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj628158(v=sc.12).aspx
Quick migration—This type of migration is also known as cluster transfer, and can be used to migrate a highly available virtual machine. It leverages Windows Failover Cluster to migrate virtual machines between cluster nodes.
So D cannot happen as it has to be between cluster nodes for a Quick Migration to occur.
That being said the explanation is wrong in the final point both Storage and Quick Migration end with the sentence:
“Downtime is minimal because quick migration takes a snapshot of the virtual machine and transfers data without requiring the virtual machine to be turned off.”
But the only one that can occur is A, makes it easy.

It can’t be D because Quick Migration requires shared storage (iSCSI) not a local disk.
Additionally, bob is correct.
See Quick Migration:

Correct answer is A, as previous colleagues. The question is tricky as is not clear, Microsoft question makers team work hard to make it very difficult to define the correct answer.

Folks, as stated: “You need to MOVE VM1 to another Hyper-V HOST. The solution must MINIMIZE the downtime of VM1.”
Technet Migrating Virtual Machines and Storage Overview says about storage migration: “Quick storage migration allows you to move virtual machine STORAGE from one location to another.”
– Nothing there about migrating the VM to another HOST! It can’t be A.
Here’s whats in the section about Quick Migration: “This type of migration is also known as cluster transfer, and can be used to migrate a highly available virtual machine.”(…) “Downtime is minimal because quick migration takes a snapshot of the virtual machine and transfers data without requiring the virtual machine to be turned off.”
– Nothing against moving from iSCSI to local storage, and, it states that the downtime is minimal

Answer: A
The answer can NOT be C or D, because you are moving the node to a non Clustered Host.
B could work, but would require the additional CPU compatibility configuration, making A the best answer.

P.S. You would have to perform a MOVE\Virtual Machine Storage function. This can be verified on any VM HA node in a Cluster configuration.
