No, the provided solution does not meet the goal of moving VM1 to a different host immediately. Moving a virtual machine to a different subscription does not result in it being moved to a different host.

To move a virtual machine to a different host, you can use either of the following methods:

  1. Azure Portal:
  • Stop the virtual machine.
  • Navigate to the virtual machine blade in the Azure portal.
  • Select the "Disks" option from the left-hand menu.
  • Select each disk that is attached to the virtual machine and click "Export".
  • Create a new storage account in the same region as the current virtual machine.
  • Create a new virtual machine using the exported disks and selecting a new host.
  1. PowerShell:
  • Stop the virtual machine.
  • Use the "Get-AzVM" command to retrieve information about the virtual machine.
  • Use the "New-AzResourceGroupDeployment" command with the "-mode Complete" parameter to deploy the virtual machine to a new resource group and a new host.
  • Start the virtual machine after the deployment is complete.

Note that moving a virtual machine to a new host may result in some downtime and it's recommended to take a backup or snapshot of the VM before performing any such operation.
