Here are some of the things I've noticed in the last implementation I did. - HYPER-V is very cumbersome to configure for LiveMigration with Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). - To get a full picture of what Hyper-V is doing during LiveMigration you have to look at all the tools available i.e. Failover Cluster Manager, SCVMM and in some case you get more from Hyper-V Manager. - Another weakness in my mind is the reliance on third party vendors for network teaming (HP in particular) That being said this version of Hyper-V is a definitive improvement, and a step in the right direction if MS wishes to catchup to VMware.

That being said this version of Hyper-V is a definitive improvement, and a step in the right direction if MS wishes to catchup to VMware.

P.S. Long live RTFM!
