which method should you move VM1?

You have a datacenter that contains six servers. Each server has the Hyper-V server role
installed and runs Windows Server 2012 R2. The servers are configured as shown in the
following table.

Host4 and Host5 are part of a cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 hosts a virtual machine
named VM1.
You need to move VM1 to another Hyper-V host. The solution must minimize the downtime
of VM1.

To which server and by which method should you move VM1?

A.
To Host3 by using a storage migration

B.
To Host6 by using a storage migration

C.
To Host2 by using a live migration

D.
To Host1 by using a quick migration

Explanation:
The migration of a virtual machine between physical computers is only supported on
computers that have the same processor steppings or are from the same vendor. Therefore
you cannot move a virtual machine from a Hyper-V host on an Intel-based server to a HyperV Host on an AMD-based server.

Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 introduces support for moving virtual machine storage
without downtime by making it possible to move the storage while the virtual machine
remains running.

Quick Migration saves, moves and restores VMs, which results in some downtime.

Problem says: “You need to move VM1 to another Hyper-V host. The solution must minimize the downtime of VM1.”

The storage migration will not move the execution of the VM. The task is “move VM1 to another Hyper-V host”.

Yes, it will introduce downtime, but no other option MOVES VM1.
