how to completely remove clustering while keeping all the VMs
Two server2012r2 nodes in an HA cluster, SAN storage. Getting lots of event errors and occasionally vm's are unreachable.
I didn't build the cluster and I would like to rebuilt it.
But first I have to unbuild it.
I want to keep the nodes, keep all the VMs (running as much as possible), keep the VM drives on the SAN storage but I want to completely remove HA clustering... just have 2 separate nodes sharing the same storage device.
Can this be done?
Thanks.

You can remove the HA role from the VM within the Failover Cluster Manager console but I think the VM has to be offline for you to do this.
If you're looking at rebuilding your cluster then I would personally remove the HA role from the VMs, export them, then re-import to local drives on the hosts while you go about recreating the cluster.
