moving cluster between MG

[Stefano_Colombo]

We are running a management group with 2 cluster with 2 nodes each ( different platform ) .

Is there a way to move out a cluster from the management group and add it to a new one ?

Thanks

Found how to accomplish it
The steps below worked in test environment , this might not be officially supported and take no responsibility for anyone doing it in production
The steps include a period of time where the cluster to be moved is running in raid 0 , so it should be done in low I/O time
I did the following
- removed one node from the cluster to be moved to other MG .
It requires the LUN to be set in raid 0
- removed the node from MG
- created the new MG , with the node removed
- created the new cluster
- For each LUN in the old cluster I set up a remote replica to the new cluster
- stopped any workload on the old cluster
- promote the new LUN to primary
- configured the workload to use the LUN
- tested
- removed the second node from the old cluster and MG
- added the second node to the new cluster
- changed RAID level on the LUN
thanks
