1 A “move” is the relocation of VM disk images between two storage devices when the VM is in a not running state (this includes VMs that are suspended with a checkpoint file). This function does not require shared storage; the move is between separate repositories.

2 A “hot migrate” (also called a “live migrate”) is the migration of a running VM to another host and starting it there with minimal resulting downtime (measured in milliseconds). This action requires shared storage. SSH or TLS authentication must be configured for this action to work.
