What would one use a vmotion for?

VMotion, a product of VMware, is a piece of server software. It can transfer a running virtual machine from one host to another. It runs on the server hardware, meaning virtual servers can use the hardware directly.


What is Metro vMotion?

There's a new component that is part of vMotion which is only enabled with Enterprise Plus and that components is what we call 'Metro vMotion'. This feature enables you to safely vMotion a virtual machine across a link of up to 10 miliseconds RTT. In the case of vMotion the standard socket buffer size is around 0.5MB. Assuming a 1GbE network (or 125MBps) then bandwidth delay product dictates that we could support roughly 5ms RTT delay without a noticeable bandwidth impact. With the "Metro vMotion" feature, we'll dynamically resize the socket buffers based on the observed RTT over the vMotion network. So, if you have 10ms delay, the socket buffers will be resized to 1.25MB, allowing full 125MBps throughput. Without "Metro vMotion", over the same 10ms link, you would get around 50MBps throughput In vSphere 4.1, vMotion is supported only when the latency between the source and destination ESXi/ESX hosts is less than 5 ms RTT (round-trip time).For higher latencies, not all workloads are guaranteed to converge In vSphere 4.1, vMotion is supported only when the latency between the source and destination ESXi/ESX hosts is less than 5 ms RTT (round-trip time).For higher latencies, not all workloads are guaranteed to converge. With Metro vMotion in vSphere 5.0, vMotion can be used to move a running virtual machine when the source and destination ESX hosts have a latency of more than 5ms RTT. The maximum supported round trip time latency between the two hosts is now 10ms. Metro vMotion is only available with vSphere Enterprise Plus license
