With VMware, high-performance mode also supports vMotion. During vMotion, the hypervisor reconfigures links in high-performance mode to be in standard mode, transitions the link to the new hypervisor, and then reconfigures the link to be in high-performance mode. The following figure shows how VM-FEX operates in high-performance mode with vMotion.
