I can just tell from experience, we're always upgrading our Hyper-V hosts using in-place upgrade and don't evict them from the cluster beforehand. All we do is putting them into maintenance mode (via SCVMM), push our IPU Task Sequence via SCCM and re-enable them afterwards. We did this procedure for at least 5 clusters in our environment without issues.Ok, as there is a solution for this problem available we need to upgrade our 3-node 2019 Hyper-V cluster to 2022 Hyper-V. As there are a lot of users here watching this topic and having Hyper-V cluster experience; i cannot determine if we can use In-place upgrade of each 2019 Hyper-V node to 2022 Hyper-V using Cluster rolling upgrade. So can we drain, evict each node separately, and upgrade windows 2019 to windows 2022 using the ISO, upgrade HPE drivers, and join the existing cluster again? A lot of publications suggest reinstall the nodes from scratch but as inplace upgrades are sort of nobrainer these days i want your opinions on this to speed up upgrades significanty..
