A water-utility historian virtual machine is attached to an NSX overlay segment. Operators must live-migrate it to another prepared host while it keeps running. Which feature still performs that live move?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Even when the historian rides an NSX overlay, the moving van is still vMotion. The destination host just needs to be a transport node so the overlay port still exists. Bridging and Geneve do not relocate a running guest.
Full Explanation
Live migration of a running virtual machine between ESXi hosts remains vSphere vMotion, including when the vNIC is connected to an NSX overlay segment. The destination host must be an NSX transport node so the overlay port can be instantiated there; that is a prerequisite, not a replacement feature. NSX bridging extends Layer 2 between a segment and a VLAN, and Geneve only encapsulates overlay frames. Storage vMotion relocates disks and is not required solely because the vNIC is on a segment.
