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.

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 A is Host3 using Storage Migration, which is not Live Migration.
    Storage Migration only moves the VM to a different storage.
    With these answers, answer D (quick migration) is the best option.
    Minimize downtime does not mean NO downtime.

    If there was an answer to an Intel using Live Migration, that whould have been the answer

    My 50 cents

    UPDATE

    Quick Migration can only be used when Shared Storage is available.
    As we do not have this, we first need to do a Storage Migration.

    So answer is A: Host3 using Storage Migration.
