Building a Hyper-V Server cluster Live migration using Starwind

Migrating virtual machines in a non-clustered environment is described earlier, but virtual machines that are not clustered are still at risk, not enterprise deployment best practices, need to use dedicated storage devices, and deploy failover clustering to enable high availability of virtual machines to ensure business continuity. This demonstrates the use of Starwind to build Hyper-V clusters in a multi-cluster environment and to implement virtual machine live migration under a cluster.

1. Log in to the Starwind server, open the Starwind management console,

2. Right-click "Device" and select "Add device"
