Managing VM and storage movement
Hyper-V enables you to move a VM to a new VM host and move a VM's storage to a new location. Moving a VM and moving a VM's storage are two important features you can use to manage your Hyper-V hosts.
With live migration, you can move a Hyper-V VM to a different VM host with no downtime. Storage migration works best when the VM is held on shared storage (via a fiber channel SAN, iSCSI, or SMB). You can also move a VM's storage (any VHD/VHDX associated with the VM) to a different location. You can combine these and move a VM supported by local storage to another Hyper-V host, moving both the VM and the underlying storage.
In this recipe, you first move the storage for the PSDirect
VM. You created this VM in the Creating a Hyper-V VM recipe and stored the VM configuration and the VM's VHD on the H:
drive. To move the storage, you create a new SMB share and then move the VM's storage to the new SMB share.
