Impressive Answers! If they ask you... Can you draw on the whiteboard how a live migration of a virtual machine from one ESXi host to another happens and what steps are performed during the vMotion process?
This is a tough question as it involves lot of factors to explain. Just look at the image created by ITSA. vMotion consist of these steps:1. vMotion request is sent to the vCenter
2. vCenter sends the vMotion request to the destination ESXi host
3. vCenter computes the specifications of the virtual machine to migrate
4. vCenter sends the vMotion request to the source ESXi host to prepare the virtual machine for migration
5. vCenter initiates the destination virtual machine
6. vCenter initiates the source virtual machine
7. vCenter switches the virtual machine's ESXi host from the source to destination
8. vCenter completes the vMotion task
If you answer the theory question correctly then the interviewer is going to check your understanding of the vMotion process.
