Hi,
Looking for advise and if anyone has used the below sort of setup. We currently have a S2D cluster which we are transitioning to a new cluster using external storage. Unfortunately, the first node removed from the S2D cluster easily but now no more nodes will remove from the cluster. This is causing me issues because I dont have enough compute resources in the new cluster to move everything across as part of the migration.
Currently I have 2 x Clusters, CLU1 has 2 nodes with external storage. CLU2 has 6 nodes utilizing S2D for storage.
What I want to know is, can I assign a disk from my external storage to the 6 node cluster and do storage migrations to the external storage while S2D is still enabled? I would then once all VHD's are sitting on the external storage, disable S2D in the CLU2 cluster. This should then allow me to simply remove the nodes from the cluster as they will be compute only resources. After that would move the node to the new CLU1 and migrate all machines across.
If anyone has done something similar or has experience would be great to hear what you have done.
Cheers
