  • Key Concepts: 
    Live migration is a feature of the SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM) component that allows for the movement of virtual machines (VMs) from one physical server to another without any downtime. This process is also known as “hot migration” or “live migration”. The process is automated and requires no manual intervention. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Live migration can be used to move VMs from one physical server to another in order to balance the load on the servers or to move VMs to a more powerful server. It can also be used to move VMs from one data center to another in order to improve availability or reduce costs. The process is automated and requires no manual intervention. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using live migration, it is important to ensure that the target server has enough resources available for the VM being migrated. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the target server has the same version of the operating system as the source server in order for the migration to be successful.
