Quick Migration Virtual Machine
Quick migration allows you to migrate Virtual Machine or virtual disks between VMware vSphere ESXi hosts and Datastores. If you need to use VMware vSphere vMotion to relocate VMs between hosts or VMware vSphere Storage vMotion to relocate VM disks between datastores, make sure that you have a VMware vSphere license covering these features.
