Migration is only supported for VMs running on Hyper-V hosts that are part of the same Failover Cluster. Each VM must be configured as Highly Available.

If you enable Virtual Machine migration, use the Duration field to set the time allowed for the VMs to migrate to another healthy Host in the Cluster. VMs will not be migrated to Hosts that are powered off, in a disconnected state, in maintenance mode or affected by a UPS critical event.
By default, PowerChute will migrate VMs to any available Host in the same cluster. To control where VMs get migrated to, enable the Customize target host for Migration option in the Virtualization Settings page of the PowerChute Setup Wizard or in the main UI.
The left pane shows all available hosts in the Failover Cluster. To specify a host to which the VM should migrate in the event of a UPS critical event, drag and drop the host to the right pane. Virtual Machines will be migrated in the order that they appear in the right pane.
If all VMs have been migrated before the duration time has elapsed, PowerChute will wait until the remaining time has passed before proceeding with the next step in the sequence. If the duration time is not long enough, all VMs may not be migrated. These VMs will be shut down gracefully if VM Shutdown is selected as the next step in the sequence.
