    1. From the failover cluster manager on CLUSTER2! run the migrate cluster wizard.
    2. Shutdown VMs on Cluster1.
    3. Mask storage so Cluster1 can’t see it.
    4. Unmask storage for Cluster2.
    5. Startup VMs on Cluster2.

    The reason for this is because you launch the migration wizard on the DESTINATION server. Then you select the SOURCE (cluster1) to migrate the settings over.

    Excerpt from the TN articles above:
    “Launch the Cluster Migration Wizard from the Failover Cluster Manager, select the source cluster, and then select the cluster roles on the source cluster that you’d like to migrate to the new cluster.”

    Weird because Cluster 2 has nodes with Server 2012 R2. Server 2012 R2 does not have an option called “Migrate Roles…”, so this option could be run only cluster 1 that has 2008 R2 servers.
