Hey guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster, thanks for the solutions found so far around here.
I have a big time dilemma that I'd like your feedback for. Story goes like this:
I have a VM environment that has recently been upgraded to 2019 - 2-node cluster, new Lenovo storage unit, many old VMs. During this upgrade, I've changed the nodes and also the storage, but did this live, so I kept the cluster and after the upgrade of the servers one by one, I've also upgraded the cluster level to 2019, then moved the VM storage to the new storage unit. Doing so however also kept the cluster's "Shared" folder on the old storage which was mapped to "Volume 1" of the "ClusterStorage", and as you know, even moved to the new volumes it doesn't actually do anything. Losing access to this folder means losing the live migration feature = removing the "failover" part of the cluster = not good.
So, anyone know any easy way of remapping the location of this folder so that the cluster can be live during this? If not, the only thing I can do is: remove VMs from cluster, destroy cluster, cleanup, re-create a different cluster using only the new storage, while removing the old one, adding all VMs to the new cluster. Could this be done 100% live? As far as my memory serves, it could be done, but I'd like your input as well.
Thanks and happy clustering!
