<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">vMotion of a shut down UCM between two hosts without shared storage using vCenter. Is this supported? The virtualization document for UC platforms says vMotion is supported on shared
storage, so I figured to ask. Is this migration method supported? <o:p></o:p></p>
