Ensuring successful Hyper-V live migrations requires diligent configuration management—including CPU, firmware, network, authentication, storage, and permissions—across all participating hosts. By following the troubleshooting checklist, addressing the known root causes as outlined in the resolution sections, and using targeted data collection, most migration failures can be swiftly resolved or appropriately escalated. Staying current with patches, standardizing cluster configurations, and understanding log outputs minimizes downtime and operational risk for mission-critical VM workloads.
