[cisco-voip] vMotion w/o Shared Storage

[Dave Goodwin]

Keep in mind that moving a VM from one host to another (whether the VM's
storage is being moved or not) is not considered a vMotion. That is why you
can do it even without enabling any NICs on the host for the vMotion
feature. Therefore, the VMWare feature you'd want to look for in the matrix
is probably "Restart Virtual Machine on Different ESXi Host" and not
vMotion.
