Hello Charbel.
I have a question, What is the best way to temporarily disable live migration of VMs in a Hyper-V cluster?
I have a need to disable Live Migration on couple of clusters for a few hours, I want all the VMs to stay online but no HA.
I am using 2012R2 for hosts and SCVMMR2 (about couple hundred VMs)
I couldn’t tell if I should use the Failover cluster manager, VMM or else
Thank you
Joseph
Hello Joseph,
You could disable/enable Live Migration in VMM manually.
If you browse to the Fabric Workspace in VMM, then select your desired host, open properties then click on Migration Settings, you can select and deselect incoming/outgoing live migrations.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Charbel
