Which migration method allows moving a VM without a cluster?

• A. Quick Migration
• B. Live Migration
• C. Storage Migration
• D. Data Migration

Answer: (B)

Live Migration lets you move a running virtual machine from one Hyper-V host to another with no noticeable downtime. It works by starting a transfer of the VM’s execution state, memory, and I/O to the destination and, once synchronized, switching the VM over to continue running there. This means you can relocate services without powering the VM off, which matches the goal of moving a VM without downtime. Quick Migration, on the other hand, involves pausing the VM briefly to move it, so it isn’t zero-downtime. Storage Migration moves only the VM’s disk files to another storage location while the VM remains running, but it doesn’t move the VM between hosts. Data Migration isn’t a standard Hyper-V migration method.
