Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 166

You have two Hyper-V hosts named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2016. The hosts are nodes in failover cluster.
A highly available virtual machine named VM1 is running on Server1.
You need to move VM1 to Server2 while minimizing downtime.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From Windows PowerShell, run Move-ClusterGroup
• B. From Hyper-V Manager, use the Move action.
• C. From Failover Cluster Manager, use the Move Virtual Machine Storage option.
• D. From Windows PowerShell, run Move-VM.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as using Move-ClusterGroup in Windows PowerShell allows for the live migration of the VM with minimal downtime. Options B and D are incorrect because they do not specifically address the need for failover clustering. Option C is also incorrect since it focuses on moving the storage rather than the VM itself.
