the scenario want migrate server server b. 

please correct plan following detail:

- want p2v existing server b (hyper-v).

1. possible vhd after p2v process attached csv storage ?

2. possible shared storage in previous environment re-mapping volume hyper-v ?

sorry if thread disorganized, novice in case. need kind advice best practice solve issue.

please tell me if there less clear.

first question why want p2v?  not take effort create new vm , use sql tools backup , restore databases new environment.  using known , proven tools instead of trying make work p2v.

when p2v, process create virtual hard drives each physical drive.  if want make sql server vm, not make sense keep storage on pass-through disks.  better use vhds storage of vm.

having single node clusters not make sense, unless idea add second node when available.
