Well, it's official - the website just went up. Can't hide it anymore ... I'm delivering a 3-day masterclass on consolidation and virtualization at World of Windows Server in Singapore as well as delivering two sessions (although the current website shows two different, it is going to be a two parter on clustering). I'm very exicted and honored to have been asked to do this.

If you don't live in Singapore or can't get there (hey, what's a few thousand US dollars to take a little excursion to Singapore at the last minute - just ask ask your boss!), I do plan on delivering the masterclass and possibly expanding it to four or five days. Or not. I've spent a lot of time over this past month in content development (official v1 of my Windows Server 2008/SQL Server failover clustering class and this upcoming delivery in Singapore), and am going to assess it after I'm done to see if any tweaks are needed. I can promise you that whether you come to Singapore or see it in a town near you, it'l be a lot of fun, technical content, and information.

Contact me if you want to know more!

The answer: 4.
1. Failover Cluster Manager
2. Move-ClusterVirtualMachineRole PowerShell cmdlet (part of the failover clustering cmdlets)
3. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2
4. Move-VM PowerShell cmdlet (part of the SCVMM 2008 R2 cmdlets)

At the end of the day, how you perform a Live Migration is going to depend on how you like to work - GUI or command line, and then it's down to preference under those. Not everyone will deploy SCVMM, so what you get natively with Windows Server 2008 R2 in Failover Cluster Manager and its PowerShell cmdlets.
