If you have a common networked storage for the two cluster, for example an
NFS server (and clearly you can also setup a temprary one...) you can simply
move disks to the NFS server, in 'live migration', then shut off the
machine on old cluster, move the .conf file from old to new cluster and
start them, then move the disk from NFS to the destination storage, again
with live migration.

In this way, you can keep the downtime to some seconds.


Clearly, NFS server performance have to be 'decent', or you have to do that
in low-workging hour...
