I have a customer with an old Windows Server 2012 with hyper v cluster configured for 2 nodes. One node died completely. I have 2 new HP proliant 360 Gen10 running Server 2022 DC and a big SAN, and I am trying to figure out the best way to move over the 6 VMs on the existing host. I’m new to this process but it seems like the host OSes must match for me to move the old VMs over. Is the best way to just export a Datto backup of the VMs to the new cluster? Any way to do this live? Any advice I’d appreciate and apologies if I wasn’t clear at all.

    Thanks for the advice! I am pretty sure the move function won’t work since the OS and hardware are 10 years apart but I will try it anyway. If not I will try the storage move.
