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.
