Migrating a virtual machine
Using Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager 7.4, you can perform a live migration for the virtual machines (VM) that are configured as resource in the VCS service groups. In a service group, you can configure only one virtual machine as a resource. During migration, you move a running virtual machine between different physical servers without disconnecting the clients or applications. Unlike switch operation, live migration feature involves minimal downtime.
For more information on migrating Virtual machines, refer to Cluster Server 6.1 Administrator's Guide.
Note: To be able to migrate a VM, You need the managed host package version 6.1 on the host.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the service group or the Availability perspective. The permission on the service group may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization or cluster.
