Hyper-V Live Migration Configuration Requirements Before a running virtual machine can be migrated from one host to another there are some mandatory requirements that must first be met: Hyper-V 2008 R2 must be deployed on both hosts. The first version of Hyper-V does not support live migration. Source and destination Hyper-V hosts must be configured as a Failover cluster with shared storage enabled. Source and destination systems must be using shared storage (i.e. via SAN or iSCSI configurations) Source and destination systems must be running processors from the same manufacturer. It is not, for example, possible to migrate a virtual machine from an Intel based host to one containing an AMD CPU. The virtual machine on which the migration is to be performed must be configured as Highly Available and to use Cluster Shared Volumes. The virtual machine's Automatic Start Action setting must be set to do Nothing. All Hyper-V hosts in the Failover cluster must be configured t
