    Hi,

    I have a hyper-v cluster of two nodes.

    On the hyper-v settings, I did setup both path of the VM config and VM files to the shared storage. However, when I run cluster validation, I see that one VM points to local path for its config file. (This same VM, shows on the SCVMM with status 'Unsupported Cluster Configuration'). So the question would be: How to modify the path of the configuration file of this specific VM to point to the shared storage.

    Thank you for your help.

    The easiest way using SCVMM is to save it to the library and then redeploy.

    The easy way with Hyper-V Manager is to Export to the CSV volume, and then Import this exported VM (rename the original before import as you will get two).

    If you have Hyper-V Server 2012, you can do a move on the VM and move the configuration location.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your answer.

    It fixed my issue by using the move function on Hyper-V Server 2012.

    Thank you again :)
