Our customer has configured 2 node Hyper-V Cluster with CSV connected to an Old SAN Storage The Host Operating System is Windows 2008 R2.
We are planning to migrate the data from the old storage to the new storage. ( Both Storage boxes are connected via Fiber)
With regard to the Migration can we do the below if so please provide some guidelines related to the Hyper-V queries.
(We are trying to avoid the Storage based migration)
- Connect the new storage to the servers
- Create the LUN same as in the old storage and assign it to the servers
- Create a new CSV and point it to the new luns in the Failover Cluster Manager
- Use the export/import function to move the VM's from the new storage to the old storage
- Once all the vm's are moved create a new LUN for the quorum and re-configure the cluster to use the new quorum
Are the above steps will perform a error-free migration if so
- Can we delete the old CSV and dismount the old storage at this stage.
Also these VM's (Exchange and SQL) has seperate LUN's assigned for the Exchange and SQL data , Does these data will be exported when we use the export/import feature of the Hyper-V to migrate the virtual machine
Your Valuable response in this regard is highly appreciated.
