Hi,
Need to migrate a standalone Hyper-v host? Here is a powershell workflow that could help you.
Run this script from the source host
workflow Livemigrate { param( [string]$DestinationHostname, [string]$StoragePath, [int]$throttlelimit ) if(!$throttlelimit){$throttlelimit = '2'} #removes \ at the end if ($StoragePath.EndsWith("\") -eq $true){$StoragePath = $StoragePath.Substring(0,$StoragePath.Length-1)} #replaces \\ for \ $StoragePath = $StoragePath.Replace("\\","\") #correct the start of the UNC in all cases $StoragePath = $StoragePath.TrimStart("\") $StoragePath = $StoragePath.Insert(0,"\\") $VMnames = Get-VM foreach -parallel -throttlelimit $throttlelimit ($virtualMachine in $VMnames){ $VMName = $virtualMachine.VMName $DestinationStoragePath = "$StoragePath\$VMName" Move-VM -IncludeStorage -DestinationHost $DestinationHostname -name $VMName -DestinationStoragePath $DestinationStoragePath } } Livemigrate -DestinationHostname 'HVHost02' -StoragePath 'D:\VirtualMachines' -throttlelimit 3
throttlelimit parameter, make sure you have enough bandwidth when you migrate the VM’s. Based on my experience on a 1Gb link you can do 2 parallel machine without interfering the end user.
