since wsfc not support rolling upgrades, need have wsfc running windows server 2012/r2 (r2 highly recommended due features available maintaining high availability) , cross-cluster migration. refer documentation more details.

this requires you're comfortable powershell.

the main challenge here dealing hardware resources since need additional servers when moving new wsfc. have run multiple instances on same cluster node while remove node , repurpose wsfc 2012/r2. proper planning important make sure maximizing resources while minimizing downtime. cannot speak capabilities of san each vendor have different features approach has been dependent on slas , recovery objectives. backup/restore still needed synchronize data old wsfc target wsfc.
