This virtual machine was chosen for this article because it's a Production virtual machine used 24x7x365 to distribute images and software using the Windows Distribution System to over 250 workstations, distributing Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 images,Īdministrators are often updating the images and software lists, Staff are using it to deploy software 24x7, and so it is very difficult to get scheduled downtime to perform the migration, if the server was to be powered off. The virtual machine to be migrated is a Windows Server 2012 R2 server, it has 4 vCPU, 10GB RAM and has two virtual disks, The OS system volume disk is 100GB, and the Data volume is 550GB.
