As the sequel to my previous article "Overcoming Hyper-V Live Migration limitations with PowerShell cmdlets,” here are some creative ways to exploit the SCVMM PowerShell cmdlet to make Hyper-V Live Migrations more friendly.
“
For small IT shops, PowerShell cmdlets improve on Hyper-V Live Migration functionality. But, with the addition of System Center Virtual Machine Manager and its PowerShell capabilities, those shops can precisely coordinate live migrations between nodes and Cluster Shared Volumes.
Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) includes a robust graphical user interface (GUI) from which administrators can perform Hyper-V live migrations. Even so, you may feel that SCVMM lacks the granular control needed to administer a complex, Hyper-V virtual infrastructure.
SCVMM PowerShell cmdlets, however, provide increased flexibility when managing Live Migration, far beyond what is possible with the GUI. With the following SCVMM PowerShell cmdlets and scripts, for example, you can live migrate an entire host’s worth of virtual machines (VMs) to a specific node, or transfer VMs based on their Cluster Shared Volumes assignments.
