How to dynamically migrate virtual machine storage

today we share how to Hyper-V dynamic migration of virtual machine storage in the manager. The procedure for migrating is relatively straightforward, but we need to master the scenario of dynamically migrating virtual machine storage, which is how we translate theoretical knowledge (various concepts, various operational steps) into actual working capabilities (corresponding to scenarios in a production environment). So when do we need to dynamically migrate virtual machine storage? with my current theoretical level, I will be grouped into the following points:

1 The hardware above limits, this I mainly emphasize is the storage device, for example the device has not been extensible.

2 storage device upgrades and maintenance, which is similar to the previous one, except that finally we are migrating the virtual machine storage back.

Of course there are a lot of scenarios that I have limited experience to write about here.

Now that we know about its application scenario, let's look at how to dynamically migrate virtual machine storage:

First, the display of the GTEST-S3 (that is, Guo Yong Test virtual machine server3, or people do not understand the name)

is running and can then be set to look at its stored path under D:\gtest-server3

Below we will dynamically migrate the storage of the Gtest-server3 virtual machine to the mobile hard disk

Below we want to select the storage of the mobile virtual machine instead of moving the virtual machine (if you move the virtual machine, you need to modify the settings of Hyper-V to enable live migration)

650) this.width=650; "style=" width:677px;float:none;height:600px; "title=" img_9706.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m02/6e/0e/wkiol1vyu3wwi5ndaaed-ed1j9y882.jpg "width=" 788 "height=" 618 "alt=" Wkiol1vyu3wwi5ndaaed-ed1j9y882.jpg "/>

Below we select the first default option.

650) this.width=650; "style=" WIDTH:693PX;FLOAT:NONE;HEIGHT:649PX; "title=" img_9707.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m02/6e/12/wkiom1vyudbzjxpwaagndrxmf0k411.jpg "width=" 745 "height=" 653 "alt=" Wkiom1vyudbzjxpwaagndrxmf0k411.jpg "/>

Then we point the path to the mobile hard drive, where I created a new folder named Gtest-server3 on the mobile HDD

650) this.width=650; "style=" width:688px;float:none;height:638px; "title=" img_9714.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m00/6e/0e/wkiol1vyu3bicobxaajhkkggck4401.jpg "width=" 736 "height=" 644 "alt=" Wkiol1vyu3bicobxaajhkkggck4401.jpg "/>

Then the following figure shows the information for the action to be performed

650) this.width=650; "style=" width:697px;float:none;height:570px; "title=" img_9715.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m00/6e/12/wkiom1vyuderuk0aaad6wscvnkc798.jpg "width=" 803 "height=" 586 "alt=" Wkiom1vyuderuk0aaad6wscvnkc798.jpg "/>

Once determined, the process of migrating virtual machine storage appears

650) this.width=650; "style=" width:707px;float:none;height:694px; "title=" img_9716.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m02/6e/0e/wkiol1vyu3fhu7k3aad6etlcyfq922.jpg "width=" 872 "height=" 690 "alt=" Wkiol1vyu3fhu7k3aad6etlcyfq922.jpg "/>

After the migration is finished, look at the GTEST-S3 storage information, where the path is already f:\ It's moving the hard drive.

650) this.width=650; "style=" width:711px;float:none;height:396px; "title=" img_9717.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m01/6e/0e/wkiol1vyu3ezjvnqaanw3ykbizu690.jpg "width=" 544 "height=" 390 "alt=" Wkiol1vyu3ezjvnqaanw3ykbizu690.jpg "/>

Then we check the three folders under the new path.

650) this.width=650; "style=" width:724px;float:none;height:614px; "title=" img_9719.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m01/6e/12/wkiom1vyudjszhsdaajoa0iucw8738.jpg "width=" 820 "height=" 634 "alt=" Wkiom1vyudjszhsdaajoa0iucw8738.jpg "/>

And you see the original d:\ stored path, three folders are empty

650) this.width=650; "style=" width:727px;float:none;height:516px; "title=" img_9720.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/ Wyfs02/m02/6e/0e/wkiol1vyu3jdwvuhaaj7yrsjznu213.jpg "Width=" 619 "height=" 496 "alt=" Wkiol1vyu3jdwvuhaaj7yrsjznu213.jpg "/>
