This cmdlet is used to live migrate a clustered virtual machine. For quick migration, use Move-ClusterGroup after using Get-ClusterResource and Set-ClusterParameter to set the OfflineAction parameter of the virtual machine resource to save state (value 1).
Causes an in-progress live migration of the virtual machine specified to be canceled.
