    What is the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V VM migration maximum RTT spec in support of a Live Migration? For comparison, for a VMware vSphere 5.0 vMotion the maximum RTT spec supported is 10msec. I've heard values of 30msec, 50msec for Hyper-V but can't find any reference on the MS website. Thanks.

    Hi,
     
    What’s the meaning of RTT in your description?
     
    By the way, if you mean the “downtime” when you perform a live migration, the answer is it depends. The result with different hardware configuration is different.

    The context is two geographically separated data centers, with an intervening WAN connection, over which a live VM migration is performed from a source Hyper-V to destination Hyper-V pair of hypervisors. So the RTT (latency) is the combination of all delays between that pair of hypervisors (e.g., L2 LAN switches, routers, transport/fiber prop delay) times two. Assume that the WAN connection bandwidth is at least GigE, so that isn't a limiting factor. Assume compatible blade processors/hardware at each end. Note that I'm not referring to the "pause time/downtime" experienced by the application running in the VM - hopefully that is only a few seconds. Thanks.

    EMC appears to imply that Hyper-V supports VM migration between DCs with up to a 50ms RTT. See page 4 (last page) of their brochure at: http://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/data-sheet/h7070-vplex-family-ds.pdf

    Thanks.

     This is information from EMC, but we haven't published any informaiton about this. We may publish some information in the future.
