Live Migration in R2

  • Article

I've got a lot of questions about Live Migration in 2008 R2. Rather than writing a long post on it, I thought I'd point you at some resources I found useful whilst setting up my test environment, so you can build one too:

- Frank Cicalese's (virtualization specialist) paper on r2 lab setup

- Technet step-by-step guide to live migration

- Technet guide to hyper-v fail-over

- Massimo Re Ferre` (IBM) tutorial on Hyper-V Server R2

- 2008 R2 Live Migration Architecture Guide

I also recorded the steps to build such environment in a series of screencasts that will be appearing on https://edge.technet.com. The first one is already there, so check it out. They are short out of necessity, so it will take a couple of weeks for all of them to appear.
