SC 2012 SP1 – DPM: Windows 2012 VM Mobility – Uninterrupted Data Protection
One of the important features enabled in Windows 2012 is the ability to live migrate VMs anywhere. Whether the VM migrating within a cluster, across clusters, standalone to standalone or standalone to cluster or vice versa, VM will not be paused or interrupted at the time of VM live migration. This efficiency enables fabric administrators manage their fabric and load balance the environment and ensure that their private cloud deployments are running optimally. While this provides freedom and flexibility for fabric administrators, this poses management problem for backup administrators. As the fabric administrator leveraging these capabilities to optimize the fabric performance and taking these decisions independently backup administrators will not be aware of this until backup software fails to find the VM and so failing the backups. This kind of dynamic fabric provides problems for the backup administrators.
