How to Migrate Clusterd VM (SQL CLUSTER) from 2012 Hyper V Failover cluster to 2019 Failover Cluser

Dear All,

Please advise how can we migrate Cluster VM from Hyper V 2012 Failover Cluster to 2019 Cluster?

It depends on whether downtime is allowed. If no downtime is allowed, you can only do share nothing live migration. Depends on size of VM and network available bandwidth this could take long. You also need to aware virtual switch with same name must exist on 2019 cluster.

If downtime is allowed you can consider SAN LUN disconnect from 2012 cluster and attach to 2019 cluster, follow by virtual switch remap and optional VM version upgrade.

Dear Lawrence,

thank you for quick reply
we have down time but source and target hyper cluster have different storage

Hi,

I am not careful enough to see you have SQL cluster within. What is the version and format of clustered storage of the SQL server? Or it is using shared VHDX to form a cluster? Is that SQL standard edition or enterprise edition? Maybe that can facilitate a more comprehensive migration plan if we can migrate from SQL cluster perspective.

Cheers.

Hi Lawrence

we have below scenario
===============================
Source Infra:

Hyper V 2012 Failover Cluster
EMC Storage

----------------------------
Virtual Machanince 01
OS 2012 Server
Shared VHDX with File Server failover cluster
--------------------////////
Virtual Machine 02:
OS 2012 Server
Raw Disk mapping with SQL Cluster(Std editions)

===================================

Target Infra:

Hyper V 2019 Failover Cluster
Netapp Storage

So I want to migrate Vm01 and VM02 from Failover Cluster Hyper V 2012 to Failover Cluster hyper V 2019
